David Letterman Intimidated by a Woodpecker on 'Late Show' (VIDEO)

by Aimee Deeken, posted May 6th 2010 5:00AM

David Letterman Versus WoodpeckerDavid Letterman seemed fascinated by the Woody Woodpecker lookalike that Jack Hanna brought to the 'Late Show' (weeknights, 11:35PM ET on CBS) -- until Hanna expected him to get so close to it.

The animal expert asked Letterman to open his mouth toward the bird. "No, I'm not opening my mouth! You open your mouth!"

Hanna led by example, and the bird stuck out its tongue. The host suddenly got brave and let the woodpecker close to his face. The bird didn't peck -- he touched Letterman's face with his long tongue. Suddenly the 63-year-old turned into a giddy, hooting schoolboy.

For the life of me, I cannot understand what is the slightest bit funny about David Letterman.

Too bad his wife doesn't have some traits of the woodpecker. Maybe she could have intimidated him and he wouldn't have screwed all those other women, starting when she was pregnant with their son. He's a bad guy.

I love David Letterman, he is REAL, and he's funny. I bet half you people condemning his "immoral acts" have cheated yourselves. At least he had the integrity to admit it, on national tv no less. He's human; he's not perfect. None of us are. If everyone worried less about other people's lives & more about their own, the world would be a much better place.

"until Hanna expected him to get so close to it."

Can AOL hire some writers with more than a high school education please?

Does anyone still watch this old, bitter, immoral, and unfunny use to be?

I will never watch that pig Letterman again! Why is he still on the air after the pain he caused?
