I didn't get a chance to see the show, but apparently David Letterman last night did a monologue that Johnny Carson wrote just before he died.
Only after he sat down did he tell the audience that it was written by Carson.
I've always thought Letterman was better than Leno, and I'm glad that Carson considered Dave his true heir.
Quote:
Letterman set up one joke by noting scientists had been working on an airplane that flew 50 miles above the Earth. Only two man-made objects were visible at that distance, he said.
"One is the Great Wall of China," Letterman said. "and the other is Donald Trump's hair."
Letterman said Hilton's dog, Tinker Bell, was missing for a few days because it was "with the Taco Bell chihuahua making a sex video."
Another joke noted Democrat John Kerry, under fire for his Vietnam service record, was criticized for throwing away some of his military service medals.
"Not to be outdone, President Bush threw away his National Guard spotty attendance records," he said
