Letterman 

Pretentious fuck whom many people find amusing in a "I'm semi-conscious because its five past fuck-knows-what-hour and hey here's some late night TV - oh this guys funny, but only because my brain is concentrating most of its energy on digestion" sort of way. Characteristics of the Letterman include corny predictable jokes, cabaret music, boring celebrity guests and a good old wank. Apparently the Letterman likes his studio nice and cold, so when a journalist asked why it was so cold in there some PR person was all grovelling-like "because Letterman likes it that way" - what sort of self-centered fucking bullshit is that? Do you control the fucking atmospheric temperature now as well as the airwaves between 3 and 4 am?

letterman 

A person who constantly flames/cheap shots other people to stroke his ego. Whereas a cheap shot is a Leno, a person who cheap shots others is a Letterman.
God, what a Letterman. That moderator keeps insulting people and locking topics for no reason.

Letterman 

the funniest late night show host today. much funnier than jay leno.
I tried to watch jay leno, but i got a real sense of how fake LA is very quickly. I hurried and flipped it to Letterman, who always makes me laugh.
Have you seen his "Will it Float?" skit? It is hilarious!

Letterman apology 

the passive-agressive act of dramatically apologizing not only for an action which one has committed, but also for things which one has previously committed, has not committed, and would not likely commit, all in an effort to reduce one's culpability for the central action in question. This is similar to a strategy employed by jewish grandmothers, where one apologizes for all things that have ever happened, whether good or bad.
Example of a "Letterman apology":

Dave: ... so my apologies to subjecting them to that vulnerability and being brow-beaten and humiliated, it never occured to me, and as a matter of fact Alan Coulter kept wanting to know if we'd had sex, do you remember that Alan?

Alan: I did and I don't remember.

Dave: So I'll just say I'm terribly sorry ... And now, also because what can it hurt, once again I'd like to apologize to the former governor of Alaska, Sarah Palin...
