Dave and Oprah Keep Up Appearances
David Letterman and Oprah Winfrey are keeping the white flag waving.
The Late Show host will make his first appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show next month, more proof that the reported bad blood between the two is a thing of the past.
Winfrey was first to extend an olive branch in the so-called feud, by agreeing to appear on The Late Show in 2005, after declining invitations to do so for 16 years. It was her first sitdown on the CBS late-nighter, though she twice appeared on Letterman's NBC show in the '80s.
Despite telling Time magazine in 2003 that she felt "completely uncomfortable" being the butt of Letterman's jokes and had vowed never to put herself in that position again, the queen of daytime disavowed any knowledge of a rift during her appearance.
"I have never for a moment had a feud with you as far as I knew," she told Letterman. "There is no feud. It's only peace and love."
"I want you to know, it's really over, whatever you thought was happening," she added.
"Are you sure it's over?" Letterman asked in response.
In a further sign that "it" is indeed over, the duo teamed up again earlier this year for a Super Bowl ad promoting The Late Show, in which they play a jersey-clad couple, with Winfrey rooting for her home team, the Chicago Bears, and Letterman for his, the Indianapolis Colts.
"You want the Bears, and I want the Colts, but we both win, because we're in love," Letterman says, as he crunches on chips.
"Honey, don't talk with your mouth full," Winfrey says. (The Colts won, 29-17.)
Letterman's decision to sit down with Winfrey on her turf represents an unusual move for the host, who rarely deigns to appear on someone else's show.
Winfrey's production company said Wednesday that Letterman would tape his appearance at Madison Square Garden on Sept. 10.
The nationally syndicated show will appear live in some markets and be rebroadcast in others, a Harpo rep said.
