What You Missed Last Night: Anna Wintour does not play baseball
Vogue editor (and Devil Wears Prada subject) Anna Wintour was on The Late Show last night. She came out in her trademark sunglasses but didn't wear them for the interview (that would have been fantastic). After talking to Dave about her work and a new documentary about her, he talked to her about playing baseball with the next guest Mark Texiera. Sadly, she didn't want to. It would have been great to see Wintour shagging flies.
Paul McCartney visits The Late Show
It's hard to believe but last night was the first time that Paul McCartney was on The Late Show with David Letterman.
As Letterman says in the clip below, they had been trying to get him for 15 years with no success. McCartney had been in the studio before, of course, as a member of The Beatles on The Ed Sullivan Show in 1964 (and once for MTV), but this was his first time on Dave's show. He talks about coming to America back then and what the other band members were like.
(Here's video of the performance from McCartney and his band.)

Bruce Willis stars in Die Hard 5: Intern Harder
The Die Hard franchise has gone through a lot of scenarios, from a skyscraper being taken over to an airport being taken over to bombs being planted around a citiy to terrorists trying to kill the Apple guy, but I think I'd watch a movie about the adventures of a highly skilled late night talk show intern. From last night's Late Show:
Bill Murray to help Letterman celebrate 25 years
Wow, I feel really old.
David Letterman celebrates 25 years in the talk show seat (it's actually more, if you count his short-lived morning show that no one seemed to love but me) on February 1, and Bill Murray will come back to the show to help him celebrate the milestone. Murray was Letterman's first guest on the old NBC show in 1982 and his first guest on the CBS show in 1993.
The other guest on the February 1 show will be LeBron James. I'm not sure how that ties into the special day, but there you go. I'd rather see a regular, like Amy Sedaris, Steve Martin, Charles Grodin, Regis Philbin, or Tom Hanks. Hopefully they'll be some clips.
