With formal protests planned for Tuesday, David Letterman formally apologized once and for all Monday night for a joke he told a week earlier about Sarah Palin's family that seemed to have only grown in controversy as last week went on. I'm Dave Letterman,"he began. "Goodwill ambassador."

By The Cajun Boy Reports have surfaced that David Letterman offered yet another apology to Sarah Palin at this afternoon's taping of his show set to air later tonight. He couldn't have made a bigger mistake. Regardless, here's what Letterman said at the taping of his show today, which is set to air later ton...

By matt@iscribelimited.com (Hilton Hater) Those that take issue with David Letterman mocking Bristol Palin need to hate the game, not the player. Letterman would be the first to say that he isn't a saint. He's a comedian that sometimes makes distasteful jokes for the sake of a laugh. Like ALL comedians do.

By matt@iscribelimited.com (Hilton Hater) Asked by Extra if David Letterman crossed a line with his jokes about Bristol Palin this week, her baby daddy replied: No wonder young girls especially have such low self-esteem in America when we think it's funny for a so-called comedian to get away with such a remark as he did."

By John Cook Sarah Palin went on the Today Show this morning to tell everyone to "rise up" against David Letterman, the noted TV rapist and "so-called comedian." Palin continued her insistence that Letterman had made a joke about the "statutory rape of my 14-year-old daughter, Willow."

Not only did his "Late Show"  beat "The Tonight Show" for the first time in seven months Tuesday (with a show featuring Julia Roberts), he was also in regular (and clearly desperate) cable TV news cycles because of a joke regarding Sarah Palin's family.

By steve@thehollywoodgossip.com (Free Britney) Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin recently paid a visit to the Big Apple, and as he has been known to do on The Late Show, David Letterman had some fun at her expense. Tuesday night, Letterman joked in his monologue that when Sarah visited Yankee Stadium, she sat in "far, far right field" with Rudy Giulia...

By Hamilton Nolan It's only been a week since Conan took over Jay Leno's old gig, and he's already losing. Letterman was up 13% in the ratings this past week vs. the week before—and last night he passed the Tonight Show, which has been steadily losing viewer every night since Conan started:

By Richard His disastrous Letterman interview brought Joaquin Phoenix's whole quitting-acting-to-become-a-bearded-rapper shtick to a dizzying climax last night. Dave played it off as legit. Others think it's all an Andy Kaufman-esque hoax. We think it's both!

By Roger Catlin Was it performance art or career meltdown?
