David Letterman was determined to bring "Late Show" to his millions of fans tonight despite the encroaching Hurricane Sandy -- which resulted in the late-night vet taping the show in an empty Ed Sullivan Theater.
And how does Letterman fare without the support of an adoring studio audience? Or put another way, if a talk show host cracks wise in a hurricane and there's no one around to hear him, does anybody care? The answer will come tonight but producers put up a preview online.
Introduced as "the perfect storm," the comedian emerges to dead silence. We then cut to a little further along in the show, where Letterman reads monologue jokes to his longtime bandleader Paul Shaffer.
His scheduled guest for Monday,Denzel Washington made it to the taping in a yellow rain slicker.''The Flight'' star feigned exhaustion as he made his way to the host causing Letterman to note''Here's
some acting right here,ladies and gentlemen''.
