Fresh off her gold medal gymnastics performance, 16-year-old Shawn Johnson sits down with Letterman before heading home to a big Iowa hoedown. America's latest sweetheart thanks the "hair and makeup" people for making it look...

Here's a little weekend treat, a 1987 clip of David Letterman running a piece of footage from a Los Angeles news desk during an earthquake. It's hard not to view it as an out-take from Anchorman, which becomes yet another...
