CONAN O’BRIEN TALKS CANDIDLY ABOUT LEAVING “THE TONIGHT SHOW” IN 2010 WHEN THE LATE NIGHT TALK SHOW HOST VISITS CBS’ “LATE SHOW with DAVID LETTERMAN”, THURSDAY, MAY 17
May 17, 2012 by J!-ENT · Leave a Comment
In his first LATE SHOW appearance in 13 years, late night talk show host Conan O’Brien speaks candidly about Jay Leno and about leaving “The Tonight Show” when he visits the LATE SHOW with DAVID LETTERMAN, Thursday, May 17.
After O’Brien went out on stage and sat down in the guest chair next to Letterman, the two sat there in a funny, awkward silence for a minute or two, and Letterman said, “I think the longer we just sit here, the more uncomfortable it will make Jay.” “You know Jay’s watching right now,” O’Brien said. “You know he’s…he’s getting a live feed in a satellite truck right now. He’s watching every second…” Then, O’Brien imitated Jay Leno’s voice and said as Leno, ‘Dave looks unhappy. He’s gonna pack it in soon.’”
“I – and forgive me for making this all about me, but that’s kind of what I do – I was delighted by everything that happened, except you losing your job,” Letterman said, referring to the controversy that erupted when O’Brien stepped down as host of ‘The Tonight Show’ in January 2010. “I will tell you,” O’Brien said, “and this is honest. The only consolation I took during that period was that you were happy…” “What a humanitarian,” Letterman laughed. O’Brien then joked, “…I did, I felt this is, uh, sometimes Dave seems a tad unhappy in his life, and if this is bringing you some measure of joy, then to hell with my career, you know?” Letterman later said, “And, you know, I refer to that period as ‘The Golden Age of Television,’ really.” “The period when I lost ‘The Tonight Show,’ that brief week and a half period, for you, is the golden age of broadcasting?” O’Brien laughed. O’Brien’s entire interview can be seen on the LATE SHOW tonight (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, Eric Stangel, Justin Stangel and Rob Burnett are the executive producers.
RATING: TV-PG (Rating may change on day of broadcast due to specific subject matter.)

PITCHER PHILIP HUMBER, WHO THREW A PERFECT GAME FOR THE CHICAGO WHITE SOX ON SATURDAY, TO PRESENT THE TOP TEN LIST ON CBS’s “LATE SHOW with DAVID LETTERMAN”, MONDAY, APRIL 23
April 23, 2012 by J!-ENT · Leave a Comment
Chicago White Sox star Philip Humber, who threw a perfect game for the team on Saturday, will present the Top Ten List on the LATE SHOW with DAVID LETTERMAN, Monday, April 23 (11:35 PM-12:37 AM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Humber will present the Top Ten via satellite from the Oakland Coliseum, where the White Sox will face the Oakland Athletics Monday night.
Humber’s achievement, which helped lead the White Sox to a 4-0 victory Saturday over the Seattle Mariners, was the 21st perfect game in Major League Baseball history and the first in almost two years, since Philadelphia’s Roy Halladay threw one against the Florida Marlins on May 29, 2010. Humber struck out nine and threw 96 pitches in his first career complete game to become the third White Sox pitcher in baseball history to throw a perfect game. He joins Mark Buehrle’s gem against Tampa Bay on July 23, 2009 (Buehrle also presented the LATE SHOW Top Ten on July 27, 2009 after his perfect game), and Charles Robertson against Detroit on April 30, 1922.
Also visiting the LATE SHOW Monday, April 23 are “How I Met Your Mother” star Jason Segel, author Zach Wahls and musical guests Fun.
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.

BASKETBALL HALL OF FAMERS MAGIC JOHNSON AND LARRY BIRD TALK ABOUT THEIR UNIQUE FRIENDSHIP ON CBS’ “LATE SHOW with DAVID LETTERMAN” TONIGHT
April 12, 2012 by J!-ENT · Leave a Comment
NBA Hall of Famers Magic Johnson and Larry Bird talk about their storied basketball rivalry and their unique friendship off the court on the LATE SHOW with DAVID LETTERMAN, Wednesday, April 11.
“Magic, were you inclined early on to become friends with this guy, because you were drawn to him because of his basketball abilities?” Letterman asked regarding the start of their long-standing association, when Bird played for Indiana State and Johnson played for Michigan State. “Did you want to be friends with him from the beginning?” “From the beginning I wanted to be friends,” Johnson replied, “but Larry didn’t want none of that…And so I said, ‘Okay, if that’s how it’s going to be, then we have to be like that there,’ you know, so I started disliking him… But you know, he told me that, you know, I smiled all the time and he knew that I will smile at you but I want to cut your heart at the same time, so he knew that that was part of my strategy is to get him, lure him in as my friend.”
“So he didn’t want to demonstrate any weakness by becoming your friend. Now, did you feel…his advances to being a friend and you just rejected them? You were not interested? You didn’t like him? I mean, what was your side of that?” Letterman asked Bird. “It’s not like one of my old girlfriends, you know, I mean,” Bird joked as Letterman, Johnson and the audience laughed. “When you say advances, I get a little scared, but,” Bird joked, “uh, you know, my thing was when you compete, you’re really not friends, you want to keep an edge, and I was like that through high school and through college, but Earvin’s an outgoing guy. He loves everybody, he wants to high-five, and, you know, he’s got that big smile. My goal was to try and take three of them teeth home with me after the game,” Bird continued as Johnson roared with laughter. Later in the interview, Letterman made a unique comparison with Johnson and Bird’s friendship, commenting, “I know what you’re thinking at home, you’re thinking to yourself, ‘Jeez, it’s just like Dave and Leno,’” which drew laughs from Johnson, Bird and the audience.
Johnson and Bird’s entire interview can be seen on the LATE SHOW tonight (11:35 PM-12:37 AM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.
This marks Los Angeles Lakers legend Johnson’s sixth visit to the LATE SHOW, while this is Boston Celtics icon Bird’s first appearance on Letterman’s late night talk show. Their joint LATE SHOW appearance takes place the same night as the official Broadway premiere of “Magic/Bird,” a play based on their fabled basketball rivalry and their long-standing friendship off the court.
Also visiting the LATE SHOW tonight are comedian Jim Gaffigan and musical guests Kaiser Chiefs.
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.
