Craig Ferguson jokingly declared himself the "King of Late Night" Friday night and the Scot comedian just might become just that if the Fire David Letterman crusade catches hold and produces the result it demands.
FireDavidLetterman.com has been set up to hold David Letterman "accountable for his disgraceful statements," according to the site's Mission Statement. The site includes a sample protest/boycott letter and a list of "Late Show with David Letterman" advertising sponsors' to which one can write. The site also calls upon the outraged to write, e-mail, or call their local CBS affiliate or local sponsor of the show to let them know they disapprove or will boycott their station/product until David Letterman's show is removed from the station's lineup. The site even lists six ways to make FireDavidLetterman.com viral.
But under the title "Fire David Letterman" is the announcement of a rally to be held on Tuesday, June 16, at the Ed Sullivan Theatre in New York City (where "Late Show with David Letterman") is recorded.
David Letterman seems to have touched a nerve with his inappropriate joke told Monday night. Not one to ever let a Sarah Palin moment go un-joked about, Letterman included in his Top 10 List that night ("Top Ten Highlights of Sarah Palin's Trip to New York") that Palin had went to Bloomingdale's to "update her 'slutty flight attendant' look." After some criticism leveled for the sexist joke, most detractors centered on the 'awkward' joke where he said that Sarah Palin's daughter had been "knocked up" by Alex Rodriguez (New York Yankees baseball player) in the seventh inning.
