I tuned in about a third of the way through last night's show, and Paul kept bugging Dave about the meeting. Every time Paul would bring it up, Dave would give him a dirty look and make a wisecrack about the network or Moonves.

For clarification, it should be mentioned that Les Moonves does generally have a good sense of humor, and he wasn't mad at Letterman for making fun of him. He was just worried that the jokes were getting old, and that they weren't funny anymore. Which I kinda' agree with -- it was hilarious to see Dave make fun of Les several months ago, but it's been going on every night since then, and it's just not as funny anymore.

In any case, I don't think Dave needs to worry. CBS would never fire him, because if they did, another network (can anyone say "ABC"?) would snap him up in a heartbeat.
