I'm just full of Oprah news today. Looks like the "feud" she had with David Letterman is about to end; America's favorite Book Club president will appear on The Late Show on December 1. She's appearing to promote the play she's producing, a musical adaptation of The Color Purple.Dave announced the news to the audience at tonight's taping, and he couldn't be more thrilled. "She's huge. Put bygones behind us, the water under the bridge, over the dam, wherever water goes -- standing in your basement -- she's going to be here on this show and it's going to be fantastic," he gushed.
It's too bad, though; I loved Dave's groveling to Oprah over the years. If anyone remembers his nightly "Super Bowl of Love," you'll agree with me. Now, I just hope he doesn't start getting all gooey with her like he does with Dr. Phil. Gooey Dave is not a funny Dave.

I like Dave's show and watch it just about every night. I prefer him to Leno by quite a bit. I just hope he doesn't screw up somehow with Oprah's interview. Once in a while, but very rarely, he doesn't do a good job and I've often thought it's because he's star-struck in some instances. Most people would be star-struck at seeing Oprah, but I hope Dave keeps his cool and turns her long-awaited appearance into a blockbuster happening. The fact that she's agreed to be on his program tells me how dedicated she is to promoting the broadway version of The Color Purple.

Well, yay for Dave!! He's finally getting his wish. I, too, prefer him far
above Leno. As I told my son, who grew up with Dave, I watch Dave for Dave, I watch Jay for the guests. Good for Dave!!
