Letterman's Most Hilariously Awkward Moments

Cracked:

David Letterman may not be the greatest late night host ever (sorry, nobody's ever going to top Craig Ferguson), but there's one type of interaction in which Letterman absolutely shines: dealing with people he has no respect for. If Letterman thinks the guest isn't worth his time (and he'll let you know within the first thirty seconds), you'd be well advised to set the Tivo and microwave a bowl of popcorn, because shit is about to get hilariously awkward.
