Late Show with David Letterman Season 14 Episode 92 Jack Hanna, Katherine Heigl, Patty Griffin
- February 8, 2007
Late Show with David Letterman is a popular American late-night talk show that has been on the air since 1993. The fourteenth season of the show, which aired in 2007, saw host David Letterman continuing to bring his unique sense of humor and interviewing skills to audiences across America.
In episode 92, Letterman welcomed three guests to the show - animal expert Jack Hanna, actress Katherine Heigl, and singer-songwriter Patty Griffin. Each guest brought their own unique talents and perspectives to the show, making for an entertaining and informative episode.
First up was Jack Hanna, a well-known animal expert and regular guest on the Late Show. Hanna brought with him a number of exotic animals, including a penguin, an armadillo, and a porcupine. Letterman and Hanna bantered back and forth as the animals made their appearances, with Letterman expressing his usual mix of amusement and apprehension at the creatures.
As always, Hanna was full of interesting facts and anecdotes about the animals he brought with him. He discussed the threats facing penguin populations, the incredible survival skills of armadillos, and the dangers posed by porcupine quills. The animals themselves were well-behaved (for the most part), and Letterman and the audience were able to get up close and personal with them.
Next up was Katherine Heigl, the actress best known for her roles in Grey's Anatomy and Knocked Up. Heigl discussed her recent marriage (she had just tied the knot a few weeks prior), her experience working with notorious director Judd Apatow, and her upcoming projects.
Letterman and Heigl had a good rapport, with Letterman teasing her about her recent wedding and Heigl playing along in good humor. She also talked about her decision to take on more serious roles in her career, including her upcoming film about the tragic events of September 11th, 2001.
Finally, Patty Griffin closed out the show with a performance of her song "Up to the Mountain". Griffin is a singer-songwriter known for her folk and Americana music, and her haunting performance on Late Show was no exception. She played her guitar and sang with emotion and intensity, leaving the audience captivated.
Overall, season 14 episode 92 of Late Show with David Letterman was a solid installment of the long-running talk show. The mix of guests - a live animal segment, a well-known actress, and a talented musician - ensured that there was something for everyone. As always, Letterman's irreverent humor and offbeat interviewing style kept things entertaining throughout.
