David Letterman apologizes to Rachel Ray

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.”

Jay Leno in regards to Jimmy Kimmel’s comments on his show: “I got sucker-punched”

In an interview with Oprah Winfrey, Jay Leno opens up about his “white lie” about telling people he was planning to retire (when the truth was NBC fired him for Conan O’Brien), about taking over “The Tonight Show” once again and also commenting on the scathing, comments Jimmy Kimmel gave Leno live on his show.

Leno tells Winfrey, “I got sucker-punched,” Leno said. Leno said he could of edited the footage but said, “No. Put it out there. I walked into it. You get right up again. You don’t whine and complain.”
