Latest posts about The Late Show with David Letterman
David Letterman is a man of many skills, including tremendous grocery-bagging speed. Or so he thinks. On last night's "Late Show," he faced off against the nation's defending grocery-bagging champion, and nearly tied...with only minor cheating. See it above, and enjoy the rest of last night's late-night highlights after the jump.

Matt Damon will be stopping by "The Late Show" tonight, presumably to talk about his new film, "Green Zone" -- but in addition, he addresses some very important topics: the Super Bowl (in which his beloved New England Patriots did not play this year), and what Matthew McConaughey might have to say about the Oscars. The sneak preview is above.
As we explained, our last "Fifth Monday Movie" had to be scrubbed due to illness on Will's part, but you all came out in force to determine our SECOND Fifth Monday Movie. To the results!
"Dear John": 25%
"Shutter Island": 30%
"The Wolfman": 45%
That's a late surge for our winning movie; "Shutter Island" had been leading all week, until yesterday. Thanks for your votes, and look out for our recap of "The Wolfman" Tuesday.
Last night on "Letterman," the cast of CBS's "Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains" braved New York's Snowpocalypse and read the Top 10 List. The cynics amongst us will sneer that it's fitting that a bunch of tired reality stars are participating in late night's most tired comedy bit (until Leno's "Tonight Show" inevitably brings back "Jaywalking," that is). But we are in a post-Coco universe, and cynicism is no longer acceptable! So, let's just point out that the new season of "Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains" premieres tonight at 8 on CBS; I, for one, am really looking forward to it. And hey, Rupert, neat tie dye!
Some important news of which you may not be aware: the annual Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue hits newsstands today. Last night, David Letterman had the honor of unveiling a billboard featuring the cover image...after just a slight snafu. See the big moment above, and hit "continue reading" for the rest of last night's late-night highlights.

Because I spent the entire month of January (and a little bit of last week) watching Letterman absolutely eviscerate Leno over his re-taking of "The Tonight Show," and were I either one of them, I wouldn't necessarily want to hang out after that, even for the purposes of a TV spot. Fortunately, Bill Carter of The New York Times (the official documentarian of Late Night War I and II) has the story of how it all came together.
But...that's not the whole story. TheWrap.com reports exclusively that the initial idea for the spot featured the two late-night hosts and Conan O'Brien. Evidently, though, O'Brien is sticking to the spirit of his classy "Tonight Show" sign-off, which is a triumph for good manners but a tragedy for those of us who might have liked to see Jay Leno covered in guacamole and shame.
It's sad, but true: Paris Hilton can't be on "The Late Show" every night. Fortunately, last night she was able to stop by in order to deliver a Top Ten List explaining why she wasn't going to be on the show. See that above, and click "continue reading" for the rest of last night's late-night highlights.

What happened to the rap album and the documentary, Joaquin? Please don't be not crazy yet! We expected so much more from you. More after the jump.

Last week, we asked you which movie you wanted to see recapped, and you responded in overwhelming fashion. Your winner, "Daybreakers," just got recapped, so we're on to the next one. This week, the choice is yours again, and the options may surprise you.

Though the end of NBC's chinanigans seems to be in sight, the jokes about NBC's handling of "The Tonight Show" switchback rage on. Lest you had any question about where David Letterman stands on this whole subject, the clip above should set you straight. There's plenty more after the jump.
