Adam Sandler filling in for Letterman tonight (Tuesday)

Adam Sandler, one of the night's guests, was quickly enlisted to fill in as host.
The CBS late-night personality has had extended absences following heart surgery and a case of the shingles. But this was believed to be the first time Letterman showed up for work and couldn't go on.
He will have time to recover. Letterman had taped Wednesday's show in advance, and he's being pre-empted for NCAA basketball on Thursday and Friday.

being that i had some time to kill befor Conan (& i didn't want to get up and put a dvd in just to take it out again) i decided to watch letterman (better than watch the awfully unfunny leno) and when i turned to the channel i thought what the hell!...
did dave have major plastic surgery, then i realized it was sandler and i tuned in and through he looked alittle shaky i thought he did a pretty good job!
i hope dave gets sick again (cause hes not funny) and sandlers the guest again and he has to host.

Great, I missed it. CBS.com only has two clips to watch (the monologue, and a highlight of Sandler and Cheadle singing).
Hopefully the entire show will be on something like youtube tomorrow...

Probably has nothing to do with Sandler's movie that's opening on Friday...

Maybe but then again, and I realize this was "stomach flu related", hasn't Letterman been coughing and hacking for about a month now?

Tonight, Jack Black is scheduled as a guest. If Dave is still ailing, Black might take over the show.
