The film "American Splendor" seemed to be a unique era in film. It was a low-budget, "small" movie with little or no advertisement and yet it was a "hit" amongst people in my sphere. It just spread through word of mouth, people talked about it.
In the movie Dave Letterman is portrayed as something of a villain. He's the big star that has the ordinary guy on his show and mocks him for laughs. And although the "betrayal" appearance isn't this one, it's pretty clear to me that that element is pure artistic license. Harvey is a NUT (in the best sense of the word) and Dave is a polite talk show host who only occasionally, and lightly, counter-punches to Harvey's flailing arms assault.
