I watched Letterman tonight because Don Rickles was on. I figured that if any guest had the stones and the seniority enough to bust on Dave for his recent scandal it would be Rickles.
Early on in the conversation Rickles didn't dive right in, so I thought maybe he would later. A bit later he was telling a story about old timey mobsters in early Vegas, and he joked that he hopes those mafiosos weren't upset at him for talking about them. Then a sandbag dropped from above onto Letterman's desk. When the bag dropped from the set above, Dave and Don looked at eachother and pretended to be shocked, then they went to commercial.
It was just a pre-meditated, scripted bit. Dave Letterman had the most legendary insult comic in history on his show at the time of Letterman's vulnerability and Dave strong-armed him into doing an out-of-character scripted piece.
May your comedic integrity rest in peace, Dave.
That's how I roll.

Uhhh, HuffPo, I assumed Letterman's affair with people. You disgust me, HuffPo. What did you think I thought he had flings with? Jack Hanna's animals? You disgust me, HuffPo. Wait, what were his other flings with? You disgust me, HuffPo.
That's how I roll.

Farley on Letterman
By: T.R. Slyder, TRSlyder@yahoo.com
This is rather unspectacular but it's Farley on Letterman so I thought I'd post it. It was filmed when he was fat.
I don't know if everyone was more innocent then, or if I was just young and clueless, but if this happened again in today's age I think everyone would say, "um, this guy's a coke fiend". When he died I remember thinking "This guy had a drug problem? Really? Wow, that's so sad" then when I watch him I can't help but think "Wow, this guy is loaded. Like really bad."
