Style David Letterman’s varsity David Letterman doesn’t get papped all that often. It’s not like he totally avoids it, but I wouldn’t say he shows up in the photo agencies with the regularity of, say, one of those Nader sisters. If he knew he’ be photographed yesterday, he wore the right By Lainey • Nov 20, 2025 04:04 pm

Top Reads Letterman & Chappelle Last week when I posted about Adele’s SNL episode, I wondered whether or not Dave Chappelle would be back to host the show’s post-election episode and indeed it was confirmed that he’s returning, although I’m not sure any of the election-related sketches have been set or By Lainey • Nov 04, 2020 10:30 am
Equality Issues Intro for March 7, 2017 Dear Gossips, The two major celebrity interviews/profiles I read yesterday: David Letterman in New York Magazine and Chrissy Teigen in Glamour.

TV Updates So long, Dave, and thanks for all the fish Tonight is David Letterman’s last show as a late night host. All week he’s had special guests—including Eddie Vedder who performed a rendition of “Better Man” with Paul Shaffer and the CBS Orchestra that made me teary-eyed—and last night Bill Murray sat in as Letterman’s By Sarah • May 20, 2015 11:26 am
Baby and Bump Obsession George Clooney is comfortable in handcuffs George Clooney handcuffed himself to David Letterman last night. To me, he seemed quite comfortable. And quite comfortable alluding to the fact that he was comfortable. And yes, as a favourite of Letterman’s, Clooney was a three block guest. Sort of. I mean, officially, he was a two block By Lainey • May 15, 2015 10:25 am
BFFs Julia last word and last kiss for Dave Julia Roberts always gets the last word, so it makes sense that she would get David Letterman’s last kiss before next Wednesday’s big sign-off. After all, she is his favourite guest. He admitted it back in 2001 and he was clearly just as smitten last night. Dave: “I By Joanna • May 14, 2015 10:42 am
Media Manipulation Joaquin Phoenix is NOT ENGAGED Not engaged. NOT engaged. I just want to make that clear because most headlines you’ve read this morning will probably say that he IS engaged. But he’s NOT engaged. It was a prank. Because this is what happens when Joaquin Phoenix appears on David Letterman. He either pretends By Lainey • Dec 09, 2014 10:36 am
TV Updates Intro for April 11, 2014 Dear Gossips, "I won't be doing the new show in character, so we'll all get to find out how much of him was me. I'm looking forward to it." – What Stephen Colbert told The New York Times about succeeding David Letterman on By Lainey • Apr 11, 2014 09:16 am
TV Updates Colbert is the new Letterman Man, that happened FAST. Kind of makes you think some wheels were already turning, and when, in the wake of David Letterman announcing his retirement the entire nation yelled as one, IT SHOULD BE COLBERT, they cemented a deal that was already in the works. I didn’t think Stephen By Sarah • Apr 10, 2014 01:02 pm

Baby and Bump Obsession Flowers for Julia How do you follow up Beyonce and Olivia Pope? Everyone else today has to measure up. God I hope Angelina Jolie makes an appearance. But Julia Roberts works too. Julia was on Letterman yesterday before attending the premiere of August: Osage County. Beyonce? Sorry. Right now Beyonce is everything. I’ By Lainey • Dec 13, 2013 11:16 am
Dumbass Points for just showing up Lindsay Lohan was on Letterman last night. You may have already heard about their “awkward” exchange when he pressed her on her rehab and when she’s going and her addictions, etc, but when you watch it back, you’ll see it wasn’t awkward. It was banter. She actually By Lainey • Apr 10, 2013 11:33 am
Girly Throw Downs Shia LaBeouf’s man fixation As I mentioned last week, I am loving Shia LaBeouf right now. I love him so much. Because he has been nothing but entertaining. Crazy, but entertaining. Shia was supposed to be on Broadway in Orphans. But he and Alec Baldwin couldn’t stop yelling at each other. So Shia By Lainey • Apr 02, 2013 10:50 am
Tom Cruise Tom Cruise the conversationalist God that was painful. Just sat through Letterman’s interview with Tom Cruise last night. It was 3 segments which...if you’re familiar with Dave, you know, normally, only the veteran chatters, the good ones, they get 3 segments. Like Tom Hanks. Or Julia Roberts.
