Late Show with David Letterman: TV Guide News

5 photos

Late-night comedy and talk with a sharply irreverent host who has at least 10 reasons why pets perform stupid tricks and, no doubt, just as many as to why Jay Leno regularly beats him in the ratings. (His wide lead over Leno in Emmys might offer consolation.) Dave also roams the neighborhood surrounding New York's Ed Sullivan Theater, where the show is taped.

The Hills Drama Drives Annika Into Retirement | TV Guide Sports Report | 5/15/2008
A day after announcing her retirement, LPGA star Annika Sorenstam stopped by the Ed Sullivan Theater to help Dave Letterman out with his Top Ten List.

"Who can focus on golf when Lauren and Audrina are fighting on The Hills?" 3. "I want to spend more time with Brett Favre's family" 2. "I just want a job where I can sit in a cubicle instead of being stuck on a golf course all day"Read the full list here.Sorenstam will continue to compete through the remainder of the LPGA season, including this week's Sybase Classic in Clifton, N.J.

Exclusive: CBS Captures Battlestar Crew! | Ausiello Report | 3/13/2008
Battlestar Galactica fans are going to want to FauxVo the March 19 Late Show with David Letterman. Sources confirm to me exclusively that nearly the entire Galactica cast, including Edward James Olmos, Mary McDonnell, Katee Sackhoff, Jamie Bamber, Tricia Helfer and Lucy Lawless, will present the Top 10 list on next Wednesday's Late Show. Frakkin' awesome!The timing makes sense for two reasons: The Galactica crew will be in New York next week for Sci Fi's annual upfront presentation, and the show's fourth season finally gets off the ground on April 4. I'm told Letterman's writers have yet to come up with a theme for the Top 10 list, so whaddaya say you float some suggestions in the comments section below. I'll get the ball rolling: The Top 10 Reasons Michael Ausiello Should Be the Fifth Cylon. read more
Spitzer Fuels Late-night Laughs (and a Letterman Rant) Before Resigning | Today's News: Our Take | 3/12/2008
The outing of New York Governor Eliot Spitzer as a frequenter of a high-class call-girl racket gave late-night talk hosts plenty to work with on Tuesday. Riffing on the Emperor Club's infamous "Client 9," Conan O'Brien noted, "Not surprisingly, Clients 1 through 8 were Charlie Sheen." (Good!) Said Stephen Colbert, "I sat next to the guy three times and I didn't pick up on any of this, and I usually have excellent whore-dar." (Not bad.) Contributed Jay Leno, "The hooker said Spitzer was done in a New York minute." (Crickets/groans/fumbling for Ensure.)And while David Letterman got in his own jabs — "It's so sunny and bright outside that earlier today, Eliot Spitzer came out of a brothel squinting" — the Late Show host got serious once he had settled behind his desk, saying that Spitzer "should have just stepped down.... Get out of the office. Who is running the state, for the love of god?" Dave said the governor should not sort out his life on the public dime, but rather... read more
