Late Night Highlights: Don Rickles Assaults, Regis Serenades, or Vice Versa
As far as late night host-guest relationships go, Regis Philbin and David Letterman share one of the more underrated bonds in history. The Late Show has tapped the Reege dozens of times over its 17-year span, usually for quiet Friday night episodes. But with zero NBC competition (and the complementary ratings surge) these days, the Reege was upgraded to a prime Thursday night spot. And after all these years, Philbin still delivered one of his most entertaining segments -- but maybe that is because Letterman ignored him the entire night. That clip, as well as the five other highlights you missed last night while crying inside your freshly-organized closets, after the jump.
6. Padding the Banks
Elizabeth Banks promoted her multi-episode arc on 30 Rock by sharing some commercial audition horror stories with David Letterman.

Dear Movieline,
At about 1:10 in to the Philbins Performance video my eyes started bleeding. But luckily at 1:22 my eardrums burst so I couldn't hear my own terrified screams.
Count your blessings where you can, I guess.
Not bad..if it had been 1:30 long they could go out on a high note and leave people interested.
Now for something completely different:
