In this episode of the Late Show with David Letterman, we are treated to three fantastic guests.

Roddick also jokes about his own lack of rhythm and musical ability, before discussing his experience filming the movie "Just Go With It" with Adam Sandler.
Next up is actor/musician Jack Black, who chats with Letterman about his new movie "Kung Fu Panda 2" and the challenges of voice acting. Black also talks about performing with his band Tenacious D and the thrill of playing for a live audience. The conversation turns to Black's friendship with fellow actor and comedian Will Ferrell, and the two swap stories about their wild antics on the set of "Anchorman."
