 David Letterman Biography
Letterman's sometimes cutting humor doesn't work with all guests-he almost reduced guest Nastassja Kinski to tears when he made fun of her hair, and Cher called him an asshole on the show-but has proved a saving grace with some guests--a psychotic Crispin Glover or a foul-mouthed Madonna.
It was not a smooth transition, with NBC claiming that many of Letterman's most popular routines were their "intellectual property" and could not be used on a different network.
Letterman used them anyway, and his Late Show was a huge success when it debuted opposite Leno, consistently winning in the ratings, though he has been hurt badly by CBS's inability to provide a strong lead-in for his show.

In fact, until last night when I started making my calls to let people know what was going to be in the paper today, Ted Koppel and his staff and the management of ABC News had no idea that the management of the network was negotiating with Letterman to give away the "Nightline" time slot.

Letterman of course is an hour-long show and "Nightline" is half an hour.
