Editing David Letterman (section)

=== Oprah Winfrey ===
Oprah Winfrey appeared on Letterman's show when he was hosting NBC's ''Late Night'' on May 2, 1989. After that appearance, the two had a 16-year feud<ref>{{cite news|last=Bauderap |first= David |url=https://www.news.com.au/entertainment/tv/free-lunch-behind-16-year-letterman-oprah-feud/news-story/30577be0bbc81d0c6d731bd5a39a75b3 |title=Free lunch behind 16-year Letterman, Oprah feud |work=News.com.au |date=October 1, 2010 |access-date=May 31, 2022}}</ref> that arose, as Winfrey explained to Letterman after it had been resolved, as a result of the acerbic tone of their 1989 interview, of which she said that it "felt so uncomfortable to me that I didn't want to have that experience again". The feud apparently ended on December 2, 2005, when Winfrey appeared on CBS's ''Late Show with David Letterman'' in an event Letterman jokingly called "the [[Super Bowl]] of Love".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://tv.yahoo.com/show/32704/news/urn:newsml:tv.ap.org:20070830:people_winfrey_letterman__ER:1759 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070906075743/http://tv.yahoo.com/show/32704/news/urn%3Anewsml%3Atv.ap.org%3A20070830%3Apeople_winfrey_letterman__ER%3A1759 |archive-date=September 6, 2007 |publisher=[[Yahoo!]] |title=Letterman to appear on 'Oprah' }}</ref>

Winfrey and Letterman also appeared together in a ''Late Show'' promo aired during CBS's coverage of [[Super Bowl XLI]] in February 2007, with the two sitting next to each other on a couch watching the game. Since the game was played between the [[Indianapolis Colts]] and [[Chicago Bears]], the Indianapolis-born Letterman wore a Peyton Manning jersey, while Winfrey, whose show was taped in Chicago, wore a [[Brian Urlacher]] jersey.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_i5we6MB-w| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070216011733/http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_i5we6MB-w| archive-date=2007-02-16|publisher=YouTube|title=Dave and Oprah's Super Bowl of Love}}</ref> On September 10, 2007, Letterman made his first appearance on ''[[The Oprah Winfrey Show]]'' at [[Madison Square Garden]] in New York City.

Three years later, during CBS's coverage of [[Super Bowl XLIV]] between the Colts and the [[New Orleans Saints]], the two appeared again in a ''Late Show'' promo, this time with Winfrey sitting on a couch between Letterman and Leno. Letterman wore the retired {{Abbr|No.|Number}} 70 jersey of [[Art Donovan]], a member of the Colts' Hall of Fame and a regular Letterman guest. The appearance was Letterman's idea: Leno flew to New York City on an NBC corporate jet, sneaking into the [[Ed Sullivan Theater]] during the ''Late Show''{{'}}s February 4 taping wearing a disguise and meeting Winfrey and Letterman at a living room set created in the theater's balcony, where they taped their promo.<ref>{{cite news| title= How the Letterman-Oprah-Leno Super Bowl Ad Came Together | url= http://mediadecoder.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/02/07/how-the-letterman-oprah-leno-super-bowl-ad-came-together/ | publisher=Media Decoder | date=  February 7, 2010 | access-date=February 8, 2010 | first= Bill |last=Carter}}</ref>

Winfrey interviewed Letterman in January 2013 on ''[[Oprah's Next Chapter]]''. They discussed their feud and Winfrey revealed that she had had a "terrible experience" while appearing on Letterman's show years earlier. Letterman could not recall the incident but apologized.<ref>{{cite news| title=  Letterman On 'Oprah's Next Chapter': 'I'm Sorry' (VIDEO) | url= https://www.huffpost.com/entry/letterman-on-oprah-david-letterman_n_2427870 | work= HuffPost | date=  January 12, 2013 | access-date=May 31, 2022 | first=Joan | last=Podrazik}}</ref>
