Letterman: is he or isn't he in HD?

By Kevin C. Tofel

We just got a question from Chris via our contact form: "Do you know if David Letterman is supposed to debut in HD tonight as previously reported?" Chris, thanks for the question and I wish we had the answer! Here's what we know:

  • Several sources over the past several weeks indicated that today would be the HDTV debut of "The Late Show with David Letterman"
  • Not a single one of our typical HDTV listing sources shows that tonight's show is in HDTV
  • TV listing sources can often be wrong
  • We'll know for sure by 11:36 p.m. ET

Here's my thought and I'm hoping you'll chime in with yours. I expect that yes, tonight's episode will be in HDTV and that Dave will make a big deal of it. I'm imagining some close ups of that famous tooth gap and perhaps even view of Paul's ear hairs. However, this is just my guess; I'll be staying up later than normal to see if they do broadcast in HDTV.

What do you think: HD for Letterman tonight or not?
