The TV Zone

In the war against "Tonight," one must enlist many weapons: Last night on "Late Show with David Letterman," Stern.

Here's the first part of that momentous encounter...Been a year and a half since he was last here.

Howard: "I'm backstage with your [staff]...they say we think this is a night we're gonna beat the Tonight Show...I'm thinking why is the pressure on me? "

"We gotta beat this Conan...Dave put me on national television many many years ago,...
I never liked Jay. I can't stand Jay....I've never seen anyone who behaves like a robot. I saw his final show - on his last show, he was reading it off a telePrompter. Where's the humanity? HERE'S the host we wanna watch..."

And that was about it. How wild and crazy was last night's encounter? Let's put it this way: They talked a lot about married life and therapy.

Still, amusing (in parts) as always.
