I went to the taping of the Friday 19th show.

The Late Show is back on UK TV screens on new channel, Diva TV - Available on Sky channel 282 - Letterman is shown at 9pm weeknights and reruns on Saturdays and Sundays at 11pm. Diva TV shows it on a delay - which varies - so check the “Upcoming Shows” box at the top right of the sidebar for Diva TV schedules (listings on the “Guest Listings” pages are US airdates).

So, Dave’s appearance on Oprah’s show was last week. I haven’t seen it myself yet, but someone over on YouTube has uploaded the whole thing - links below.

Dave does a special Top Ten list as well

On Friday David Letterman made a return to Ball State University. Known for avoiding publicity, you can read the speculation about the visit here; Letterman’s in town, but will he speak?.

At the visit a new Communications building was named after Letterman, following years of support for students and the radio station David Letterman once worked on. Read more about the visit at the Chicago Sun Times.

As per the news a week or so ago, Dave will be appearing on Oprah’s show tomorrow (10th September) on US TV. The show will be in Madison Square Garden and will kick off the new season. For viewers in the UK, Oprah will be shown on Diva TV will it launches on the 1st October (it’s not known what sort of delay there will be though so it may not include the show with Dave’s appearance).

Friday Night With Jonathan Ross was back on our screens last night, with Wossy showing off his new facial hair. A somewhat bizarre look for Jonathan - maybe he’s been watching too much of his pal Ricky Gervais on The Office with that sort of beard. Keira Knightley seemed impressed though - “You look like Johnny Depp because of your beard”. Picture is available here.
