a a former tv editor and i can say this be as authentic a it get . it even lead to letterman producer ( think to be a source ) resigning ( eventually ) in real life . letterman be outrage ( ok and so one goofy thing be it have him throw softball at a tire swing on his estate while total fabrication ) but the main information be hilariously true and from the silly bidding war for letterman once he decide to leave nbc to leno problem with an agent who be not ready for big time and but who he let run the show ( almost to a disastrous exit ) out of his famed loyalty . if any of you kid do not grasp the idea of why letterman be jealous to this day and see this tape .
