David Letterman Confronts Katie Couric About John McCain (Video)

By The Staff at wowOwow.com
'Late Show with David Letterman'

David Letterman did a do-over interview last night with Katie Couric.

Apparently, the CBS late-night comedian had a "brain synapse misfiring" when Couric appeared on his show on Wednesday and he failed to confront her about the John McCain interview mishap — the one where McCain said he was rushing back to Washington to fix our economy but instead sat down for an exclusive interview with the CBS Evening News anchor. It was pretty surprising on Wednesday when Letterman didn’t mention it — considering he ranted nonstop for days after McCain ditched his scheduled September 24 visit.

So after the New York Post poked fun of Letterman the next morning, the funnyman mustered up the courage to phone Couric during Thursday’s show.

To think I used to dislike this guy. Even preferred Leno over him - WTF was I thinking?! And Katie is badass.

Letterman also made a sophomoric and demeaning comment about how this was the first time he had been aroused by a Vice-Presidential candidate.

Don’t you think Letterman was being sexist here?
