Tina Fey dropped by CBS’ Late Show with David Letterman last week to discuss lots of things, including, of course, her recent spate of Emmy-worthy Saturday Night Live appearances impersonating Alaska governor and U.S. Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin.
Yeah, the governor visited SNL last night and participated in two mostly unfunny sketches, but Tina’s chat with Dave is way better, not to mention Tina’s too-brief appearance during the opening of last night’s SNL.
Check out the relevant segment of the David Letterman interview after the jump.

Rescue Me co-creator, executive producer, and star Denis Leary visited David Letterman’s Late Show last Friday to spark some interest in the FX series’ summertime minisode run starting up tonight at 10pm EST.
The pair of comedians did their usual wry thing, with Leary giving viewers an in-depth look into his life at the moment, which includes having to eat every three hours on account of his high metabolism, putting up with an annual “ass cam” — I’m not making that up, folks — now that he’s over forty, and coping with sending his eighteen-year-old son off to college this September.

Mega popular Office star Rainn Wilson, otherwise known as Dwight Schrute, took time out of his busy life and schedule in March to pay a visit to one of the best late-night yak shows around, the Late Show with David Letterman, of course.
I think Letterman, the crowd, and I were all about equally surprised to learn that the host is actually Wilson’s dad … or so Wilson claims when he says he nursed at the host’s “comedy teat” (does that create nasty images in your mind or what?). The revelation must have also been kind of awkward for Wilson’s …read more

As savvy fans of science-fiction TV already know, ten members from the cast of Sci Fi Channel’s stellar series Battlestar Galactica read the popular Top Ten list on the most recent Late Show with David Letterman.
The fourth and regrettably final season of the Peabody-winning space drama takes off on April 4, preceded on March 28 by two back-to-back half-hour specials. Fittingly, the theme of last night’s very entertaining segment was the Top Ten Reasons to Watch the New Season of Battlestar Galactica.
All of the cast members did a fine job delivering their lines, of course. The absolute best …read more

Did the “David” in the post’s title make you do a double take? If so, apologies.
Judging from their initial banter, it had been quite a long while since Dirt star Courteney Cox last visited the Late Show with David Letterman when she stopped by at the end of February to push her FX series. Years, in fact. Cox offered an excellent excuse, though — the birth of her and husband David Arquette’s daughter Coco, who’ll turn four years old in June.
Cox spends substantial time talking about her little girl during the interview, as well as her and …read more

Looks like the late-night talk shows resumed just in time to snag guests from the casts of the paltry season’s few new series. Cashmere Mafia fans are in luck today because star Lucy Liu has a date with Dave on the Late Show with David Letterman.
As her innumerable admirers know, Liu has enjoyed incredible success in both film (Lucky Number Slevin, Domino, Kill Bill, Charlie’s Angels) and television (Ugly Betty, Ally McBeal, ER). Don’t forget to tune in tonight to find out what’s been going on with one of entertainment’s most versatile actresses besides her latest ABC dramedy.

Tomorrow’s Late Late Show will have something to offer in the way of famous people, however, such as former Lost star Dominic Monaghan and magician Jason Randal. Meanwhile, over on basic cable’s Comedy Central, Jon …read more

Today’s breaking news comes just in time to infuse the weekend with loads of joy and anticipation.

Letterman expressed his understandable relief and appreciation with the comment, “I am grateful to the WGA for granting us this agreement. This is not a solution …read more

I hate to be a holiday spoilsport on Christmas Eve, but the truth is out there and must be reported. David Letterman’s production company Worldwide Pants failed to strike a deal with the Writers Guild of America when they met last Friday. The main purpose of the talks was to reach an agreement enabling Letterman and his fellow Worldwide Pants late-night host Craig Ferguson to return to the air soon with writers in tow creating fresh material.
Consequently, as of now, there remains no official guarantee that CBS’ Late Show with David Letterman and The Late Late Show with …read more
