Last night on The Late Show, David Letterman noted the writers approval of the new contract by having the WGA's Dave Young and the AMPTP's Nick Counter come out onstage at the Ed Sullivan Theater. And shake hands. And hug. And then lip-lock for a passionate 2-minute kiss. And then keep kissing throughout the show. Suffice it to say, these weren't the real Dave Young and Nick Counter. See the video here.
Aw, you totally killed my mood by telling me it wasn’t ACTUALLY them that were kissing.
Shame on you, Nikki.
Shame.

I actually knew it wasn’t them. Still that did get a laugh, but not as funny as Stephen Colbert cleaning himself with Starbucks coffee and toppings.

Late Night has become so unfunny, these guys don’t even try, they repeat the same lame skits every night that no one thinks are funny except them, they’re trying to emulate the humor back when the show was really funny but these guys don’t have it. It’s an insulated little boys club that amuses itself.
Dave, once a hero, has become a bit creepy, a bit of a dirty old man. He never had to work blue and it doesn’t become him. Also, he [or his writers] are a bit too obsessed with Diablo Cody having been a stripper. Creepy.
Leno sucks worse, but we don’t watch either show anymore.

Sorry tv fans, I thought it was shockingly funny. The premise of the piece was that two enemies find newfound love for each other. If you followed the strike at all, both Dave Young and Nick Counter were so much at odds with each other that it would take an effort to get the real men together just to shake hands on the deal.
BTW: Letterman’s obsession with Diablo Cody’s former life is just one of the kicks he goes on once in a while. But if you truly want creepy, just watch the 8:30 PM eastern reairing of The Colbert Report. That is much worse than two enemies kissing.

yes, we get the “joke”
no need to dissect it for us
just not funny .. you’re entitled to your opinion
Dave’s kicks aren’t once in a while, but night after night which is ok if funny and not obsessively creepy.
no need to explain Letterman’s ways - we have encyclopedic knowledge of him.
