Secret Super Bowl Ad Featuring Letterman, Leno & Oprah Was Dave’s Idea

The New York Times: According to staff members of the “Late Show with David Letterman” who were on the scene that day - including the executive producer Rob Burnett – it all happened because Mr. Letterman had an idea he thought would be truly funny: a Super Bowl ad that featured the two longest-running adversaries in late night, sitting with Ms. Winfrey as though at a Super Bowl party.

Letterman is a despicable person. He should be fired and taken off the TV.

What the F is Oprah doing in this commerical? Gotta have the oreo snadwich or what? lol.

Lester   February 7th, 2010 - 10:14 pm

Dave’s still a dick and Orca Windbag is still a fatass.

“Dave thought it would be funny….”

They wanted Sarah Palin to do a commercial but she was too busy counting all her “sucker” cash she got from the teabaggers.

GlobalObserver   February 7th, 2010 - 10:26 pm

Dave thought the ad would be funny?

Maybe that is why he is no longer funny.

MSM Sucks. /Alt. Media Rocks!   February 7th, 2010 - 10:58 pm

EWWWWW glad I missed that! LOL

WhaWhaWha…whatever

I guess you can only speak of what you really know about, teabaggers.
I never ever heard that disgusting term before the leftist started in with it, figures only sleaze can come up with something like this as a political ‘progressive’ word.
Nice…

Dozens of you brainwashing LSM (Palin ‘hating’ ones) journalists ‘investigated’ Govenor Palin and couldn’t find one speck of dust to make her look bad, but you’re doing a fine job of representing your side in all of this with the typical lies and low class tone.

BUT I do enjoy your angst over this fine woman.
Carry on!

Whatwhatwhat   February 7th, 2010 - 11:01 pm

No one told you people to start a movement by sending teabags to people you don’t like. That was the teabaggers fault for coming up with that.

One of the crappiest commercials. Totally bored watching it.

TJL   February 7th, 2010 - 11:21 pm

Wow, tough room.
I thought it was pretty funny, and it was without a doubt one of the biggest surprizes of the evening.

Ivan in Phoenix   February 8th, 2010 - 12:38 am

Please, can someone, anyone, buy Leno a new shirt. Has he ever worn anything but denim when he is not doing late night TV?!

Whywhywhy   February 8th, 2010 - 2:27 am

They wanted Michelle Obama to do it but she was too busy feeding corn cobs to her 300 pound children.

track4harvest   February 8th, 2010 - 2:33 am

I thought it was pretty funny. What a bunch of humorless windbags you all are. Lighten up.

Joe   February 8th, 2010 - 2:41 am

How interesting. The liberal left “news organizations” spent millions to investigate Palin. All they could find is she might of had something to do with getting a wife beater fired, she chooses not to skew her view by reading a bunch of biased news papers and magazines (how well is Couric doing now, the people she works with despiser her), she consulted her husband while governor, and she purchased her own book to increase revenue. -Holy Cow better stop the presses. YET, these so called news organizations failed to reveal that John Edwards was having an affair for several years, his mistress was pregnant with his child, and his wife knew about the whole thing and covered it up. The left will take a microscope to amplify an aunt hill while painting the window black to hide the mountain.

txmike   February 8th, 2010 - 2:59 am

Very lame and predictable . Lacking in humor. Lenno was so not into the idea it made a lame joke that much worse.

NOLA who dat?   February 8th, 2010 - 3:37 am

I am not a fan of any of them. However, I thought it was cute and very unexpected among a field of just okay ads, with the exception of e-girlfriend and bud-friends. I wanted to see it again when I saw it was for Letterman, I started doubting it was really Leno & her. Way to go D.

John Campbell   February 8th, 2010 - 4:03 am

I think the commercial was funny and well done. Playing on the rivalry that is known to exist was cute. All three of them are people I really don’t care to see anyway thanks to their politics so the commercial painting them as a couple of children with Opera as their mom/referee was fitting.

As for the “Teabagger” comments, Is it any real surprise that the average conservative is not aware of the perversion behind it? You have to realize where the typical leftist has their mind. In the gutter. Just watch their protests. Flipping people off, both live and on posters. The “F” word is every other word or they can’t complete a sentence. There support of deviant sexual practices in politics and promotion of it in our schools and colleges. Treating abortion as just another pregnancy prevention tool. With minds like that one could easily summize their upbringing is not of the highest caliber.

Stupid and yet very funny that they would bring Oprah in to mediate between these two chowder-heads. Funny that they are the same people they always have been. Whiners.

Oh! I was wondering who those old people were!

snaggletoothie   February 8th, 2010 - 8:20 am

The unfunny comedy of the super entitled.

Dix Handley   February 8th, 2010 - 8:33 am

Oprah was not there. She was added in by a computer from what I read in some article somewhere. Not sure if it’s true though.

Bugler   February 8th, 2010 - 8:40 am

Does anyone watch any of these shows? Really?

john   February 8th, 2010 - 9:00 am

.

Looks to me like Leno is slumming it.

Lady liberty   February 8th, 2010 - 9:09 am

Leno did a Great job making Letterman & Oprah look as insignificant as they really are.

justamom   February 8th, 2010 - 9:38 am

I thought it was stupid and I’m glad Dave’s team lost.

Tony   February 8th, 2010 - 9:58 am

I received my Radio & TV education from Ball State a few years after Letterman. They still worship him there. I used to love his show, but can’t stand to watch him anymore.

Having said that, this promo is hilarious if you know the history of how Letterman reportedly really ticked off Oprah many years ago and Leno and Letterman were always at odds over “The Tonight Show” replacement decision. Seeing them all scrunched up on that sofa together gave me a good laugh.

[sigh]… where are the Marx Brothers when you need ‘em?

(resisting Obama joke, resisting… resisting…)

Chris   February 8th, 2010 - 11:36 am

Would have been funnier to have also had Conan pounding on the door begging to be let in.

NickB   February 8th, 2010 - 11:54 am

Notice Orpha already wolfed down her entire bowl of chips. Too bad Leno had to join these two pathetic hacks… boring.

captain grumpy   February 8th, 2010 - 8:02 pm

Why does Leno always looks like he just lost his dog.
