Feud? What feud?

David Letterman will make his first appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show next month, another sign the talk-show titans have buried the hatchet after a rift that lasted more than a decade.

Letterman will tape the interview, a rare appearance on someone else's show, on Sept. 10 at Madison Square Garden in New York, Winfrey's production company announced Wednesday.

Oprah is probably one of the most giving extremely wealthy people that we have in the world. True enough, donating money to museums and the arts is well and fine if you're into that sort of thing, but I believe that it's more important to invest in people and education than investing in things. I commend her for giving so much and letting the world know, because maybe it will change someone from being selfish into someone who will help out a fellow human being.

Oprah is just the most wonderful person I know. Well, not really know since I never met her or will likely meet her since I cannot afford to go to the places she goes or live in the places she lives. But anyway, she is my idol and anything she asks of me I will do. I only wish that one day she will let me be in the audience of her show so I can get one of the gifts she makes her sponsors give out.

I love Maya Rudolph's impression on SNL... :)

I have to say I agree with Old School Democrat. Oprah is so arrogant and so full of herself. Her comments are inane, her interviews appalling. She is now her own biggest fan. When she asks a question, she asks the audience to support her in her brilliance and candidness for asking it. "Isn't that what we all want to know?"

She spends lavishly, and then chastises people who wish to do so but can't. She berates people not able to live within their means, and then lords obscene wealth over people not only in admitting to "her favorite things" but in giving these things away to her studio acolytes.

A country that empowers someone like Oprah, who has been leaning ever more rightwards in her politics, has something seriously rotten at its core. She makes me cringe.

Poor poor David Letterman.

There were moments when Oprah was interesting to watch. But now she has became an emetic. I personally consider her dangerous. She represents everything what is wrong in our society today. One person getting insanely wealthy promoting false diets, every unnecessary crap in the world, every stupid movie, cd, book or decorating idea. She is so far removed from reality, it is not even funny.
Sure, Africa needs our help. But they need our help by stopping global warming. More and more people starve to death because of huge draughts in Africa caused by climate changes. They need our help by providing cheap medication and education for Aids. Oprah's concern should be with the African descendants here in the U.S., who are not making it. Her concern should be about the people who do not have health insurance and proper education. But I guess, that is an ungrateful job.

Nobody gets so wealthy without exploiting people. The least thing they can do is give back. There is nothing great about it. Or do you want her to leave millions to her dogs like Leona Helmsley?

I guess the ratings of Letterman are not so good anymore and he has to do something about it. I do not applaud him for going on Oprah. The only reason people are going on Oprah is to sell themselves or their product.

I used to love David Letterman

What's with the headline, Dave "caves"? Where's the caving? They kissed and made up awhile ago now. If there's no feud any longer what is there to cave into? Nice story, silly headline.

By the way, Letterman had a great edit of Idaho Senator Larry Craig the other night:

No. No. No. Oprah is profoundly creepy. I'm not trying to take away from her incredible professional success. That's really to be applauded, and she may be a wonderful woman for all I know, but she comes off as utterly full of herself, absolutely unable to laugh at herself, and demonstrates an almost pathological self-absorption at every turn. I can't believe people criticize Angelina Jolie but applaud a woman who freely admits she doesn't devote her energies to African-American children because they are inadequately grateful in worshipping at her shrine. Dave, I miss the Oprah transcripts sketch more than I can say. One of the show's greatest all time running gags ever.

You are taking her comments out of context. She has for years been doing a lot for the African American community, one example is the state of the art Boys and Girls CLub of America Center she built in her hometown, some hickish place in Alabama? Mississippi?sigh...anyhow, someplace whre black yout certainly is overlooked.


I guess a successful African American woman, who traversed from rags to riches to become the wealthiest woman in America can only be considered "creepy" in dysfunctionally racist America.

No surprise.

Brooklyn citizen, my reaction to Oprah may be racist (I hope not, but it's certainly possible), but where do you get off conflating
Mississippi and Alabama and then dismissing both as hickish? I guess regional bigotry is okay. You'd think someone from Brooklyn would be a little more sensible to geographic stereotyping.

I remember watching him when he was "TV boy" but now that he is "TV geezer" he is just not the same.

See that?

If Dave and Oprah can finally come to terms...why can't Sunni and Shiites? ;)

Yea! Love Dave. Love Oprah.

Don't know if this was over the Oscar thing or not-don't think Dave meant anything harmful by it.

I wish Oprah would run for President. I really mean that.
It will be very hard for me to vote again for another white man.
Hillary, though, powerfully capable, plays the white man game too well.
Hillary thinks she needs to be equal to her male counterparts. Well she doesnt need to dumb herself down just be equal. I believe Hillary is tainted.
Oprah would win in a landslide victory as an independent
