Letterman Mows Down a Pleo with a $1,000 R/C Monster Truck

Last night, David Letterman had some expensive toys at his disposal. He checked out the Pleo, then he got to test drive a crazy, $1,000 remote control monster truck. Naturally, the docile, innocent Pleo wasn't going to fare well in such an environment. Oh, Letterman, you cruel bastard!

The Apple Fanboy's President: Barack Obama


As if his deep, smokey voice wasn't enough of a reason to swoon, on Letterman last night Barack Obama made one campaign promise that all Apple fanboys and iPod owners can get behind: "I won't let Apple release the new and improved iPod the day after you bought the previous model."

Letterman's Company First to Reach WGA Agreement

David Letterman's production company Worldwide Pants is—we believe—the first to reach an agreement with the Writers Guild of America for internet royalties. Since The Late Show and The Late Late Show are owned, not by CBS but Letterman's own company, the show was able to circumvent CBS negotiations altogether and settle with the WGA without setting major broadcast-wide precedents.

Simmons Blows a Steamer on Letterman


Could this steamer that Richard Simmons is demonstrating be made by Sony? Watch Letterman nod to the pyrotechnics experts off camera just before the highjinks ensue, and then you can marvel at the acting ability of Richard Simmons, whose only emotion seems to be a combination of fey astonishment and mock outrage. Good thing real products don't blow up like that. Oh, wait. – Charlie White More »
