I think my favorite of his comments were the ones that caused the audience
to audibly turn against him. Like, for one, he talked about how his flight
to the U.S. was problem-free, adding, "Wow, it's really easy to get into
this country." That got him booed. Later, some joke bombed, and he said,
"You'd better be nice to me; I'm just about the only ally you've got left."
I thought the interview with Kim Cattrall was like a train wreck at times,
though; Eddie Izzard really should've been first, since Elvis seemed so
comparatively comfortable with him...but, then, I guess Kim Cattrall scores
higher name recognition with US TV viewers, so that's why she was first...

did anyone catch Elvis Costello hosting David Letterman show last night?
this was something i thought i'd never see. actually, Elvis did better
than i would have thought, which shouldn't really suprise me as he is so
quick witted. But he did seem to be a bit nervous at times, and his British
humor seemed, well, out of place. nonetheless, it was entertaining - almost
surreal. i especially liked his opening monologue closer of him singing to
the tune of "Alison... my aim is true..." : "Letterman... I want your show."
unfortunately i fell asleep before he played with the Imposters at the end.
but i did tape it - let's hope it works, unlike the time i tried to tape the
Wondermints last month and got golf instead!
