Yesterday before the Top Ten List, Letterman announced - somewhat mysteriously - that he had called Conan O'Brien.
See the clip within this montage:
My best guess for asking "if everything is fine" refers to the Letterman/Leno/Oprah Super Bowl of Love ad. Based on Bill Carter's book "The War for Late Night", it seemed Conan was offended by the idea and/or that he was asked to participate. When word was passed to Conan that he was wanted for the piece, he reportedly said, "No fucking way I'm doing that. It's not a joke to me -- it's real."
However, it is total speculation that that was what this latest call was really about. Either way it would be silly to "feud" over something so trivial and hopefully this paves the way for Dave and Conan as guests on each other's show. Make it happen, science.
I thought that Dave and Conan were relatively benign (compared to say, Dave and chin-man, or Conan and sir-pointy-face).
ReplyDeleteI like Dave, and of course I like Conan. Hopefully there's no bad blood there.
