I mentioned a few items back that last night's Late Show With David Letterman was taped on Monday. It was…but I have since learned from someone who was in the audience that a few chunks of Friday's show were retaped on Thursday following the taping of that evening's episode.
Also: The decision to tape next Friday's show on Friday is apparently because the Vice-Presidential Debate is on Thursday. They feel Dave needs to be able to comment on it. After that, they'll probably go back to taping Friday's show on Monday, which I still think is a mistake.
