David Letterman: ‘You Folks Enjoy The Osama Bin Laden Season Finale?’

Monday night’s Late Show featured plenty of bin Laden-related material, including a monologue that began with David Letterman asking his audience how they enjoyed “the Osama bin Laden season finale,” and included a Top Ten list of bin Laden’s last words.

The show had NBC’s Brian Williams as a guest, and Letterman wisely decided the two should pose for a photo holding a copy of Monday’s New York Post, saying “it’ll be in the Post tomorrow.”

Williams described how his Sunday night was interrupted by a phone call from a White House official who revealed, he says, that the story involved bin Laden, saying “we got OBL” and adding a warning, “tell no one.” Williams says his wife–while he was on the phone and preparing to go to work–had started his car and even put a bottle of water in the cup holder. “I might have exceeded state and local speed limits on my way to 30 Rock.”
