New York, New York (AP) -- The violent conflicts so often associated with hip hop spilled over into the mainstream late last night, when widely recognized “Big Poppa” of the late night talk show world, David Letterman, was fatally gunned down while heading to his car.
There was one witness who did not see the crime, but did hear the late night perpetrator scream out, “you’re out too late at night this time Letterman!” Gunshots and Dave's screams were the sounds that followed.
Most speculate that the beef between he and Leno's Tonight Show crew is the reason for Dave’s fatal demise.
Jay Leno when hearing of the tragedy released this statement:
I sincerely hope the media doesn’t twist this story into something that will only cause more problems. The brief-but-impressive ratings spike a story like this will provide your network is not worth the lives that may be lost if I am forced to have to defend my family … and staff of writers.
I will say it once. I was not involved with Mr. Letterman’s violent death, and though our relationship was adversarial, I would always prefer to settle beef on the tube. Going mono-y-monologue as it were.
*rimshot*
My heart and deepest condolences go out to his family.
And now … Kevin Eubanks and The Tonight Show band!!!
After the band played a few songs Mr. Leno flashed the “J-L” hand-sign that has become his trademark and left the building.
While Leno is the main suspect, there are some who say band-leader Max Weinberg of The Conan O’Brien show is worth investigating. If Letterman were rubbed out, Conan and Max would potentially be in line to take over, thereby not having to wait for Leno to retire.
While officials try to sort out the details of this harrowing tale of vengeful murder, Paul Schafer has started a tribute blog to Letterman called, "Dave the GOAT"

ReplyDeleteLMAO
ReplyDeleteI think Conan O'Brian is the one behind this... has anyone frisked the schroom on this head? You know how many weapons could be stashed in there? Hell, the WMD's may be in that nest!
I don't think I should do this but
ReplyDelete*pouring a little liquor*
I would have preferred that you offed Leno too ... but all the same this made for one heck of a fine read.
ReplyDeleteGreat job!
Letterman has to be the one to die. there's no story if you kill the one everyone likes best.
