It's on ITV2 tomorrow at 1:35am. So that's Thursday morning technically.

i plan on getting into new york around 4 to check it out and hang around until the taping is over. i think theres some sort of barrier near the doors where the guests exit the studio where fans line up. im not expecting much. a handshake or autograph would be nice but even just to see him walk by would be worth it.

David Letterman is a man of the highest order and I personally hold him very fondly in my heart. What a wonderful man.

I wonder if he's using the audience reaction to gauge whether he should go on Ellen's show or not. ??? I say forget Ellen, go on Conan O'Brien's Late Show!

Seeing him on any of these shows would be great.

If he went on Sesame Street, I'd be happy.

I just became a vegetarian at 15. My brother's being a real dick about it so he told me that Morrissey wears leather and I shouldn't base my ideologies on such a hypocrite. Does he?

surely you people can't be so stupid and humorless to believe that Morrissey would ACTUALLY be going on Ellen, can you? Yes, he did say that at the vegas show, but only a fool wouldn't see it as a joke.

Dave is having a big week with all of my adolescent idols on his show.

while i'm thinking whishfully, there was a recount of ohio vote and kerry won by a handful of votes

As Morrissey’s squaring up to David Letterman tonight, a question-and-answer posting seems appropriate. I think that Rico, the English teacher; Stan; Simon; Joe Razor; Jim Rome; unonimos, and especially, that most diverse, untiring and prolific poster, anonymous (!) will like it anyway. Here’s to a sparkling intervi!

Sociology - Q: What guarantees may a mortgage company insist on? A: If you are buying a house, they will insist you are well endowed.
Q: In a democratic society, how important are elections? A: Very important. Sex can only happen when a male gets an election.

Morrissey called Letterman boring at a concert a few years ago.

I wonder what Howard will be saying about Moz in his show tommorow morning.

hmmm, you just got back from a taping that has not yet occurred--apparently, you have invented a time machine? the taping is at 5.

more than Morrissey right now actually

Does anyone know if Moz is only singing or if he will be interviewed as well. I have a feeling he won't be interviewed.

I was quite chuffed not to be stuck up in the balcony for this one and had a good spot fairly close to the stage. Nick Cage and Jason Alexander were the guests. Boring, really.

After those two were done blabbing, Moz came out in his Priest's garb and kinda stood there, awkwardly, waiting for his cue. It must have seemed like forever. He did some waving, waved at me, waved at the few fans in the balcony. I wonder what all regular the folks in the audience thought of him standing there? Haha.

Fairly decent version of FOTGTD. Gaz got up on the drum riser. Other than that, nothing out of the ordinary.

Show over.

Hurried outside in time to catch Moz ducking, quite dramatically, into a black limo, flashes going off everywhere. Drove off, all alone in the back seat, into the lovely New York night.

Just got home from Letterman and chasing those boys around town! Well since everyone has already covered what you will see tonight on the show i'll tell you how im still shaking in my boots over seeing the gang! Got lucky with the second row balcony to the right of Julia (nice to see you) and yes Moz gave us much love up there screaming like we were. Before the show we just missed the band going in by a minute or two but just in time to see the man himself pull up and quickly scurry in. (camera malfunction *&#$%@!) Then hoping and wishing for something, another side door opened right behind us and we saw Gary walk by. Well then we locked our eyes on the door and saw Deano standing casually against a railing. I oh so sweetly motioned him over and asked for a pic and he graciously obliged!!! Hot stuff that boy is!!! Ok then the door shut leaving us just waiting on miracles at this point. Head inside-while on line hear some rehearsing-wait online-charge up the stairs-show is a go-Moz sees us all in the balcony waives- feel the love- wonderful happy and cute he was it seems like to me anyway- great performance-rush down the stairs and to the side door. Catch a glimpse of a happy Morrissey getting into his Mercedes and dash off. Then we get Gary and i think Jesse step out wave a little and cross the street and go on their merry way. (oh boy were we tempted to follow) But i thought-hey there are more boys to see yet. There we stood and Good ole Dean came out and sign what seems like a million things for everyone. I couldn't resist so i called him over and he thanked us for coming and glad we enjoyed the show and we got hugs and a kiss! YIPPEEEE!!!!! He then entered the waiting van. Then.....BOZ. Got to signing away he did. Me being on the other side of him-i waited then i yelled BOZ BOZ BOZ please its just us over here! And over he came all smiles! i asked for a smooch and got a doozy i did, and a hug (they both smelled yummy) While in midhug i told him they performed brilliantly he thanked me kindly" Thank you very much, Cheers" We noticed he wasn't getting in the van but crossing the street. At this point we knew they were all out and we could follow suit. we proceeded to follow Boz and 2 other fellows for a bit through Time Square before the uncomfortable feeling that we were stalkers came over us. We wished him well (in our hearts and minds) and veered off in another direction letting him go about his business in peace stalker free! HAHAHA. And that my friends was a night to remember! So personal in such a small theatre like that. I loved it. Can't say im a fan of Late Night TV but what a small price to pay to see a great great Man and his Band. Love him for life!!

Just got back from the CBS studios on broadway where Morrissey and the boys did 'First of the gang'. His voice was amazing, he looked relaxed in his priest outfit and at the end of the song he did the sign of the cross and kissed the silver crucifix he had on round his neck - he shook Lettermans hand at the end.
I think he may have recognised a few people in the audience as he waved up at the balcony a couple of times. The lads all had Jobraith t- shirts on and Dean looked fierce. As always. Nicholas Cage was the other guest - looking like Elvis himself in Leather Jacket and trousers - white vest and winkle pickers. Some other geezer (I think he's on Frazier was on as well) Wierd Afternoon.

Can anyone tape this, or is there a way that I can get a copy from the company? There is a flash flood underway in SA, and the power is going on and off at my house. Goddamnit! First, Morrissey cancels his Texas tours, then this?!

Saw the Letterman taping today...Moz was wonderful as useful....and still wearing the priest suit. Where were all the fans? I screamed as loud as I could and frantically waved to him even though I don't think he saw me. I was somewhere near the middle rows (in a grey sweater). Rushed out immediately after the show to try to get a glimpse of him. I waited near his car and screamed his name but he got in his car so fast. I can't believe I was so close to him...I just want to hug and kiss the guy! Love you Moz!

waited outside with a bunch of other fans that couldnt get into the taping. he came out after nicholas cage and jason alexander had already left which was good because a decent portion of the crowd at the barrier dispersed. a few minutes before he came out his manager took all of our letters to give to him as well as a rose my friend had bought for him. he walked out and to the confusion and surprise of all the everyday people just huddled around to see what celebrities were there, every started shouting "Morrissey!" to which he paused, smiled, and gave a kind of startled look before ducking into the limo. after that we went and talked to the people who had been inside for the taping. then the band came out to sign autographs. i got my picture taken with boz. all in all it was fun and worthwhile and i cant wait to watch the show!

p.s. suzzane and julia c. nice to meet you and lets be in touch soon about the pictures!

-jp

What did he say exactly?

Does anybody have any information whatsoever on this?

Did Letterman talk to him at all?

Did Dave interview him?

i just got back five minutes ago. he played first of the gang and wore his priest outfit.
fantastic, only one song as dave was running late.
but definitely worth it, he also waved to us in the crowd. not too many mozzer fans there. he was looking out into the audience and a few people were cheering and he looked to us on the left side of the stage and waved.
afterwards we saw him leave into a speeding black mercedes.
great performance,
louise
