Sandler to sit in for Letterman, uncomfortable interviews to follow.
According to the Associated Press, David Letterman went home sick today after coming down with a stomach bug. Adam Sandler, who was suppose to be tonight’s guest got a quick promotion to host.
Since coming to CBS in 1993, Letterman has had a string of guest hosts twice. First when he had his heart surgery in 2000 and then a few years later when he came down with a case of shingles. Tonight will mark the first time he simply got sick and couldn’t go on the air.
The Late Show does double tapings on Monday so he’ll be back on the air Wednesday night. Thursday and Friday’s shows are pre-empted by college basketball.

I watched (natch). As far as how Sandler compared to other guest hosts, I’d say he did an adequate job given that he was clearly out of his element. He also had more comedy elements built into the show than previous guest hosts. Bringing your dog out on stage for the duration of the program was kind of brilliant in its deflection of awkward interview moments.
