Don Rickles and Denzel Washington on the Late Show

The banter between Don Rickles, Denzel Washington and Letterman was hilarious. The show aired on Diva TV earlier tonight (originally broadcast on CBS on 15/01/2008), and there’s a video clip on YouTube. Don Rickles always cracks me up – I find it funny the way he talks to Dave, but Dave never seems to mind. If you haven’t seen this show yet, it’s repeated on Diva TV this Saturday (2nd February) at 11pm (Virgin Media and Sky).

CNBC Life – New programming block coming February

A new programming block on CNBC Europe (as currently being advertised on the channel) – to be called CNBC Life – will be starting on the 23rd February. This could prove to be really interesting for The Tonight Show With Jay Leno and Late Night With Conan O’Brien show airings on the channel, as CNBC Life is rumoured to be an entertainment and sport programming block. Judging on speculation alone, this could mean the return of full episodes of Leno and Conan every night of the week (and maybe even NBC’s Today programme), along with an overhaul of the schedules. Watch this space – CNBC haven’t released any details at the moment, other than it’s a programming block starting 23/02/2008.

More speculation is available on the Viewpoint blog – “NBC Universal to begin CNBC life?”
