The first one is the ventriloquists. I know they have made a big hullaballoo about "Ventriloquist Week" for quite some time, generally turning it into a farce, but in my opinion, they should make this an annual thing. These guys are some of the most talented performers in the business. Willie Tyler and Lester -- I can remember watching him on the Flip Wilson Show almost 40 years ago, and he is still as entertaining as he ever was. I'm really looking forward to Jeff Dunham and Walter; I've caught his schtick on Comedy Central several times.
The second one is Dr. Phil, making yet another appearance with Letterman. I really like the interplay between these two guys. Dr. Phil has a good comeback for every barb that Letterman throws. But the high point of the segment, for me, was when they talked about Letterman's concerns about his son. I thought it revealed an openness and a tender side that Letterman rarely shows.
