Culture Buzz Worth it just for Letterman's reaction at the end. Here's everyone's favorite South African hip-hop outfit, complete with alien contact lenses and creepy masks, performing “I Fink U Freeky” on Old Uncle Dave's show.

The FBI is investigating death threats directed towards David Letterman found on a jihadist website, including statements such as, “Is there not among you (someone)…to cut the tongue of this lowly Jew and shut it forever?” The author of the threats was angered over jokes Letterman has made involving al-Qaida leaders Osama bin Laden and Ilyas Kashmirandi. Oh, and Letterman isn't Jewish.
I think this demonstrates a remarkable sense of humor from both parties. Turnabout is fat play! What?

Culture Buzz James Whittemore, a 22-year-old actor alternately described by media outlets as “jobless” and “failed,” got drunk on Saturday night and smashed his way into the Ed Sullivan Theater (after being caught urinating on the doors by surveillance cameras). He proceeded to cause $5,000 worth of damage to the lobby and box office. Hopefully he takes this act on the road and trashes Leno's theater.
Emphasis on “attempts.” It turns into a LGBT Abbott and Costello routine. David Letterman is America's cranky, befuddled, yet well-intentioned grandpa.
David Letterman has a freak out after a little baby anteater 'bites' him. Did someone inform him before hand that they don't actually have teeth? The pool little guy, he just wanted some love.
This is how you stay level-headed “in the business”: never turn away New York's finest. P.S. I know that guy.
