Dave Doing "Oprah"

It's going to be a gabfest like no other.

Oprah Winfrey, the undisputed queen of daytime television has decided to make nice with her Late Night nemesis, David Letterman, by inviting him to appear on her show.

Letterman has been angling for an invite from Winfrey for weeks, even keeping an "Oprah Log" on his show to record how many days passed without a call from the host.

He's also begged Oprah to guest on his show--but to no avail. The talk show diva has said that her prior two appearances left a bad taste in her mouth and that wild horses couldn't drag her to Letterman's CBS studio.

"Both times I was sort of like the butt of his jokes," Winfrey recently told Time magazine. "I felt completely uncomfortable sitting in that chair, and I vowed I would not ever put myself in that position again."

However, now that the seating arrangement's been reversed, it seems that the hostess with the mostess is feeling more secure. Meanwhile, Letterman seemed slightly unsure of how to react to Oprah's invite.

"What we're hearing now is that Oprah no longer hates me," Letterman said on Friday's episode of Late Night. "And what we're hearing now, and while I'm gratified on the one hand, I'm a little concerned about this--we're hearing that Oprah is actually inviting me to appear on her show."

For her part, Winfrey has insisted that she never hated Letterman, and has always had "a great deal of respect for his talent."

She even celebrated the recent birth of Letterman's son, Harry, by sending the wisecracker a tub of children's books.

It's that kind of positive energy Letterman is hoping to find when he arrives at Winfrey's Chicago studios--where, he said, he plans to "break down and sob like a little girl."

"You'll see the advertisements for the 'Late Show Super Bowl of Love.' And Dr. Phil will come out first and straighten me out, because the problem is me," Letterman said. "And then, when he feels it's safe, Oprah will come out...And then the love will explode. And at the end of the show, Oprah and I will go downstage, the audience will have flowers for us. Oprah and I will embrace. Oprah and I will kiss."

Now that should make for good television.
