Shamu the other day nearly killed one of the trainers during a show. Take a look at what Sea World did to make sure this never happens again.

I know David Letterman’s show is comedy, but Dave also does some great interviews. I have always liked and respected Dave, and still do, but I would prefer to know Dave does his homework before doing important interviews. Dave reveals below, he has not done any homework at all, but he is great at insulting the opposing side rather than giving them a fair shake. I guess I expect Dave to live up to my expectations, which I may have set too high for Dave. Here’s more:

Any lingering doubts that David Letterman detests Bill O’Reilly will be laid to rest tonight, when the gap-toothed funnyman has the conservative Fox News powerhouse on his CBS "Late Show" and machine-guns him with insults.

In a tape previewed by Page Six, things go downhill fast as O’Reilly sits down and jokingly presents the liberal-leaning host with a plastic sword to do battle and holds up a plastic shield to defend himself.

An irritated Letterman cracks, "Oh, that’s nice, that’s cute, you come out with toys . . . Am I right about one thing: You guys over there at Fox and guys like Rush Limbaugh, you guys know it’s all just a goof, right? You’re just horsing around. You’re doing it ’cause you know it’ll be entertaining?" Letterman adds he’s never seen O’Reilly’s show because, "I dial up Fox and it’s always ’The Simpsons.’ "

O’Reilly tries to lighten the mood by telling the audience he and Letterman are "on the same bowling league" and asks whether he’d appear on "Dancing With the Stars."

"Bonehead!" snaps Letterman, who then starts shaking his fist and waving his arms at O’Reilly as the subject turns to the war in Iraq. "Let me ask you a question – was there more heinous, more dangerous violence taking place [before America invaded] Iraq, or is there more heinous, dangerous violence taking place now in Iraq?"

"Oh, stop it," O’Reilly scolds the host. "Saddam Hussein slaughtered 300,000 to 400,000 people, all right, so knock it off . . . It isn’t so black and white, Dave – it isn’t, ’We’re a bad country. Bush is an evil liar.’ That’s not true."

"I didn’t say he was an evil liar," Letterman shoots back. "You’re putting words in my mouth, just the way you put artificial facts in your head!"

Letterman admits he hasn’t read O’Reilly’s new book, "Culture War," because "I looked at it. I said, ’What is it, a book on sailing?’ "

Checking his watch to signal an end to the insult-a-thon, Letterman sarcastically quips, "Oh, gosh, where has the time gone?" He adds: "I have no idea what I’m talking about – but I don’t think you do, either."

Last night Martha Stewart was on The Late Show with David Letterman, and she sucked blood from his finger like it was cookie batter from a spatula.

Vince Vaughn and David Letterman David Letterman Grills Vince Vaughn Over Aniston Romance. Wedding Crashers star Vince Vaughn was put on the spot when he taped an appearance on American chat show The Late Show yesterday (May 4, 2006), when host David Letterman grilled Vince about his relationship with Jennifer Aniston. Vaughn and Aniston have been frequently photographed together, but have never officially confirmed they are dating. Letterman started the interview by saying, "Hey, nice going on that Jennifer Aniston thing." The couple star together in the upcoming film THE Break-Up, and Letterman added that he thought they made a nice couple. An embarrassed and amused Vaughn responded, "It’s very nice of you to say that, Dave, thank you. As the conversation develops, Vaughn, 36, turns to the audience and, referring to Letterman, announces: "Do you like the way he just kind of takes the approach that it’s fact?" Letterman fared much better than Today show reporter Jill Rappaport, who on April 4 was met with silence from Aniston when she inquired about Vaughn (in particular, whether Oprah Winfrey was really about to toss the couple an $8 million wedding, as had been rumored). Aniston even skirted the Vaughn issue two weeks later when Winfrey had her on the show to clear up the wedding rumors. When Winfrey asked if there was anything else she wanted to address, Aniston said: "No wedding, no moves, no no. I’ll keep you posted." Inside I’ll bet Vince is saying to himself, "OMG I still can’t believe Jennifer Aniston is my girlfriend," but I’m wondering what Jennifer Aniston is saying to herself. Vince is a nice guy either way. [Source] [Source2]
