David Letterman will be making a guest appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show when her show comes to New York to tape its season premiere. What Oprah doesn’t know is that Dave plans on dunking her in a pool of water to settle the question everyone’s been asking: Will Oprah Float?

In early 1995, it was announced Letterman would host that year's 67th Academy Awards ceremony on March 27. Critics blasted Letterman for what they deemed a poor hosting of the Oscars, noting that his irreverent style undermined the importance and glamor of the event. In a joke about their unusual names, he started off by introducing Uma Thurman to Oprah Winfrey, and then the both of them to Keanu Reeves: "Uma...Oprah! Oprah...Uma! Oprah, Uma...Keanu!" This and many of his other jokes fell flat.

Winfrey quickly noted that the "new house" reference was a joke, and after the show ended she politely reminded the audience that Letterman was kidding around. "You know that house thing was a joke," she said. "I'm generous, but not stupid." Two years ago, Winfrey gave cars to the entire audience attending her 20th season premiere.

Whether the pair of humbling episodes had anything to do with a change in lifestyle, Letterman moved in with girlfriend Regina Lasko in 2001 and became a first time father in 2003, naming his son after his father. In 2007, Letterman further came out of his shell; this time to bury the hatchet with Winfrey, and was slated to tape an interview for her show in September, following an appearance Winfrey had made first on his show the previous year.

While Oprah Winfrey is tops with women and adults aged 65 and over, David Letterman is No. 1 for men. Among adults aged 18 to 24, who are an important demographic to advertisers, Conan O'Brien is the most popular. Not surprisingly, Bill O'Reilly is tops among conservatives, while liberals choose Jon Stewart as their favorite.
