When I went to a Late Show taping last year, Letterman opened up his interview with Dianna Agron by noting that she and James Franco (the first guest) had crossed paths. Agron made a kind of dumb response to the note. Letterman proceded to eviscerate her for it (to the point where she looked very uncomfortable) before moving on with the interview. It was skillfully edited out of the broadcast: only if you were in the theater would you have known what happened.
