I need clarity | December 2nd, 2005
Can someone please explain to me why Letterman’s Academy Awards joke (Oprah, Uma. Uma, Oprah) was so awkward and the beginning of a “feud?” I don’t see a)how that is a joke, b)why that would be awkward, or c)why it would make Oprah mad. Thank you.

Oprah doesn’t “get” Letterman’s brand of humor. She let his continual “Oprah mentions” build a wall. For crying out loud, he makes fun of his mother! His mother loves it.

Please trust that if I understood any portion of this question I would be happy to venture an answer. Perhaps you can explain it to me this weekend when we are in Phx.

I would love to, but we will be fishing at Lee’s Ferry. Will you be here Sunday?

Letterman apparently acted as if he was introducing the two in what had to be on his worst attempts at humor.
