JAMES FRANCO AND DAVID LETTERMAN SHARE OSCAR HOSTING EXPERIENCES WHEN THE ACADEMY AWARD-NOMINATED ACTOR VISITS CBS’s “LATE SHOW with DAVID LETTERMAN”, FRIDAY, APRIL 1

James Franco and David Letterman share Academy Award hosting experiences when the actor visits the LATE SHOW with DAVID LETTERMAN, Friday, April 1.
Letterman, host of the Academy Awards in 1995, congratulated Franco on hosting the Oscars with Anne Hathaway in February. “So, I wanted to ask you,” Franco asked Letterman, “how was your experience?” “It was horrible…” Letterman replied. “Yes, I can’t even remember what it was. It was horrible. I was so bad that they talked for a while about shutting down the motion picture industry.” “Come on!” Franco said. “I was God awful,” Letterman said. “But they didn’t say you were stoned,” Franco said. “Oh, I quit reading, maybe they – I wish I was,” Letterman joked. “I wish I was,” Franco said. “Is that what people said, that you were under the influence?” Letterman asked. “People said I was under the influence,” Franco said. “Now why would they say that?” Letterman said. “I’ve thought about it,” Franco said. “I think I know why. Because, I love her, but Anne Hathaway is so energetic, I think the Tasmanian Devil would look stoned standing next to Anne Hathaway…She has a lot of energy.” “Oh, by comparison, yeah…She’s very buoyant, yes, very ebullient,” Letterman said. “But, no, truthfully,” Franco added, “I think I actually – I haven’t watched it back – maybe I had low energy. I honestly played those lines as well as I could…”
Letterman asked the Franco why he would even care about the criticism, and Franco said, “It’s complicated because, no, I never dreamed of being, like, the best Oscar host ever. It was never on my list of things to do. It doesn’t mean I didn’t care and it doesn’t mean I didn’t try, right? But here’s the hypocritical thing: leading up to the Oscars, I couldn’t hear enough about how, ‘Oh, people don’t care about the Oscars anymore, it’s dead, it’s boring, it’s at the end of a long awards season, who cares about it?’ Well, as soon as you don’t host the way they want you to, they suddenly care and they won’t shut up about it. Suddenly, I can’t hear enough about a show they don’t care about.” “Well, I can tell you what will happen,” Letterman joked. “There will be, I think for you, a modicum of embarrassment, which you shouldn’t feel. That will pass. You’ll go into a period of numbness, and then you’ll become, rightly so, defiant…” Franco’s entire interview, including more Oscar-hosting talk between him and Letterman, can be seen on the LATE SHOW Friday (11:35 PM-12:37 AM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.
The LATE SHOW with DAVID LETTERMAN is a production of Worldwide Pants Incorporated. Barbara Gaines, Matt Roberts, Jude Brennan, Maria Pope, Eric Stangel, Justin Stangel and Rob Burnett are the executive producers.

A BARBARA WALTERS SPECIAL: A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH (2/4)
January 21, 2011 by J!-ENT · Leave a Comment
“A BARBARA WALTERS SPECIAL: A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH,” FEATURING
THE PERSONAL AND EMOTIONAL STORIES FROM THE MOST WELL-KNOWN
HEART PATIENTS, AIRS FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 4 ON ABC
Barbara Walters, President Bill Clinton, David Letterman, Robin Williams, Regis Philbin and
Charlie Rose… Life Can Change in a Heartbeat, No Matter How Famous You Are
“I realized there was really no alternative, if I wanted to live, I had to do this,” President Bill Clinton
“I would find myself busting into tears and sobbing uncontrollably,” David Letterman
“…Stop the heart, work on it, restart it… good luck,” Robin Williams
“They’re going to put him on a gurney, roll him into the OR room and bust him open like a lobster!,” Regis Philbin
“It was hell,” Charlie Rose
“I probably would have had a heart attack and may very well have died,” Barbara Walters
What do Barbara Walters, President Bill Clinton, David Letterman, Regis Philbin, Robin Williams and Charlie Rose all have in common? They all went from being in the spotlight to being in the operating room for life-and-death open heart surgery. Now in a groundbreaking report, the “brotherhood of the cracked chest club” (as Robin Williams describes them) all open their hearts to Walters and reveal their emotional stories of how they triumphed over heart disease. Each account is an intimate portrait of these most public figures, infused with laughter and tears. Walters also takes viewers on an unprecedented behind-the-scenes journey of her own battle from discovery of a faulty heart valve to the operating table and recovery. In addition, she talks to doctors, including her own, about what viewers, especially women, need to know to save themselves and their loved ones. “A Barbara Walters Special: A Matter of Life and Death” airs FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 4 (10:00-11:00 p.m., ET) on ABC.
Even though a half a million Americans annually will have their chests cracked open and their hearts literally stopped and repaired, open heart surgery remains shrouded in fear and mystery. As Walters says, “It’s no big deal… just a matter of life and death.”
Many Americans are ticking time bombs and they don’t even know it. Heart disease is America’s No. 1 killer – half of us will die from it, and it doesn’t discriminate. “It’s astounding that people think that heart disease is a disease of men, when in fact, it kills more women,” says Dr. Kathy Magliato, one of the few female heart surgeons in the world. But women do not have the same symptoms as men, and this report describes the difference.
“Take advantage of the technology and the care that’s available. There’s no reason why a man or woman in this day and age should unexpectedly drop dead of a heart attack,” says Letterman.
David Sloan is executive producer and Alan B. Goldberg is producer.

RESCUED CHILEAN MINER EDISON PENA TO VISIT CBS’s “LATE SHOW with DAVID LETTERMAN”, THURSDAY, NOV. 4, MARKING FIRST IN-STUDIO INTERVIEW FOR ANY OF THE MINERS SINCE THEIR OCTOBER RESCUE

Peña to Also Run in 2010 New York City Marathon This Weekend
Edison Peña, one of the 33 Chilean miners rescued last month, will visit the LATE SHOW with DAVID LETTERMAN, Thursday, Nov. 4 (11:35 PM-12:37 AM, ET/PT), marking the first in-studio interview for any of the miners since their October rescue.
Peña, who was miraculously rescued along with the 32 other trapped miners, survived the 69-day ordeal by running three to six miles each day in the darkness of the collapsed mine near Copiapó, Chile. Upon hearing his unique story and watching the rescue operation that was televised around the world, the New York Road Runners organization extended an invitation to Peña to run in the 2010 New York City Marathon, which he accepted Monday. This year’s New York City Marathon will be run Sunday, Nov. 7.
The LATE SHOW with DAVID LETTERMAN is a production of Worldwide Pants Incorporated. Barbara Gaines, Matt Roberts, Jude Brennan, Maria Pope, Eric Stangel, Justin Stangel and Rob Burnett are the executive producers.

David Letterman apologizes to Rachel Ray
October 6, 2010 by J!-ENT · Leave a Comment
Rachel Ray was on “Late Night with David Letterman” (to air on Friday) to promote her new show but somehow David Letterman ended up criticizing cook shows. Letterman told Ray, “A billion people are starving, 50 million people are starving in this country. They go to bed hungry, but before they doze off, let’s watch Cupcake Wars. Does that make any sense?”
Letterman went on to say, “a guy goes around and he tries to eat himself sick, in parts of Africa, kids eat dirt just so their stomachs have a full feeling.”
Letterman responded to Ray’s publicist who asked if he was upset with Ray and Letterman addressed it on his show. Letterman said, “”I’m just nuts. There’s something wrong with me. So, if you see Rachael, tell her I’m sorry. She didn’t do anything wrong.”
