Matt Cherette · 09/28/11 02:30AM

In addition to being a possible Republican presidential candidate, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is really fat. So naturally, in recent days Christie's been the butt of jokes made by everyone from Chris Matthews to David Letterman, who on tonight's Late Show delivered a top 10 list of "ways the country would be different if Chris Christie were president." Here's a clip of the segment.

Watch David Letterman and Sofia Vergara Attempt to Communicate

Matt Cherette · 09/23/11 02:57AM

Modern Family star Sofia Vergara stopped by the Late Show on Thursday to gloat to David Letterman about her show's big night at the Emmys. And while I suspect any conversation between Letterman and Vergara would be entertaining, this one was made even better by the fact that they kept confusing each other throughout it.

Matt Cherette · 09/09/11 03:50AM

The cast of Two and a Half Men appeared on tonight's Late Show to present David Letterman's Top 10 list of reasons to still tune in. But as you'll see in this video, Ashton Kutcher sort of seems over it already, so... points at least for being self-aware?

David Letterman Would Rather Face Jihad Than Interview the Kardashians

Matt Cherette · 09/07/11 01:26AM

Silly you, thinking yesterday's Keeping Up with the Kardashians season finale marked the beginning of a reprieve from America's most undeservedly famous family. Because tonight, Kim, Kourtney and Khloe took the Late Show by storm for an interview with David Letterman. They were annoying, obviously, but you know what was kind of fun? Watching Letterman conduct the interview like he was talking to three surprisingly articulate toddlers with gigantic breasts. Here's our highlight reel.

Arquette talked to David Letterman about being sober from alcohol, reconciling with estranged wife Courteney Cox, being enamored with fellow DWTS contestant Rob Kardashian's "great ass" (it's true, his ass is pretty spectacular), being scared of Nancy Grace, and more. But mostly, he just giggled. A lot! Check out our video of the interview's best four minutes above.

The last time Regis Philbin had anything to do with a David Letterman Top 10 list, he was ruining it. But not this time. On tonight's Late Show, Letterman used the segment to wish Philbin a happy 80th—and to speculate as to how the octogenarian spent his big day. Video of Letterman's tribute is above.

David Letterman Grills Ashton Kutcher About Two and a Half Men

Matt Cherette · 08/25/11 12:18AM

Ashton Kutcher stepped out of his insanely oversized trailer on the Two and a Half Men set tonight for long enough to visit the Late Show. And while most of us aren't the least bit interested in knowing about Kutcher's Charlie Sheen-replacing character—or the details of Sheen's on-screen death—David Letterman nonetheless seemed quite intent on getting him to cough up some details. Video of the interrogation is above.

Who Wants the Late Night Hosts of CBS Dead?

Seth Abramovitch · 08/24/11 01:41AM

Not 24 hours after David Letterman delivered a jittery Top 10 devoted to jihadist death threats did Craig Ferguson, host of the lead-out show he produces, The Late Late Show, receive a "threatening" letter containing white powder. Two staffers at CBS Television City who came into contact with the substance were held in isolation, but were released after a hazardous materials team screened it and found it to be benign. Both the FBI and LAPD are currently investigating the letter, saying only that it originated in Europe.

A frequent commenter on the Shumukh al-Islam internet forum has called for American Muslims to "cut the tongue of this lowly Jew and shut it forever." The lowly Jew they were referring to was that late night nudnik from Indiana, David Letterstein.

David Letterman Guesses How President Obama Celebrated His Birthday

Matt Cherette · 08/05/11 01:09AM

President Obama turned 50 on Thursday and the stock market responded by crashing, so it's safe to say that any birthday celebrations at the White House today were probably a bit subdued. But what did Obama do to mark the occasion? On tonight's Late Show, David Letterman ventured some guesses as part of his Top 10 list. Video of the segment is above.

Watch David Letterman Make Emma Stone Squirm on the Late Show

Matt Cherette · 08/04/11 01:44AM

"It" girl of the moment Emma Stone stopped by the Late Show tonight to chat with David Letterman and promote her upcoming film, The Help. While we're sure Letterman had only the best of intentions, we couldn't help but feel creeped out by his fixation on Stone's voice, eyes and hair. And if the above video is any indication, she seemed a bit uncomfortable, as well. Easy, Dave!

Matt Cherette · 08/03/11 12:33AM

It's been more than six months—and several talk show appearances—since Ricky Gervais made all those controversial jokes at the Golden Globes, so surely he's done talking about it, right? Not so much, actually, as you'll see in this exchange Gervais had with David Letterman on tonight's Late Show, during which he said "I don't think I should" when asked if he'd host the awards show again.

Kirstie Alley Confronts David Letterman for Calling Her Fat

Matt Cherette · 07/29/11 12:53AM

Kirstie Alley's turn on Dancing with the Stars earlier this year helped revive her career. It also resulted in a revival of fat jokes about the actress with David Letterman chief among the offenders. So when Alley appeared on tonight's Late Show, it was all but inevitable that she'd bring up the issue. Which she did pretty much immediately.

Matt Cherette · 07/20/11 01:30AM

In the last 10 days alone, two different men have been arrested for vandalizing the entrance to the Ed Sullivan Theater, where the Late Show with David Letterman is taped. Scary! But at least Letterman is taking it all in stride, as you'll see in this clip from tonight's program, which features Today Show anchor Matt Lauer attempting his own theater break-in with a metal trash can.

Captain America Delivers Dave's Top 10

Seth Abramovitch · 07/15/11 02:12AM

A lot is riding on Captain America's shoulders. Will it give us the morale boost we so desperately need to get our economy moving again? Or will subpar dialogue and bloated, confusing action sequences send us wandering out of chilly multiplexes feeling disappointed, apathetic, and confused, setting us on a collision course with a dystopian future in which we're forced to live in discarded Ikea boxes and eat our own children to survive? The choice is yours, Chris Evans. Our tomorrow is in your hands. In the meantime, read the Top 10 list. You do that good. [Late Show]
