David Letterman on Mike Pence Not Wearing Mask at Mayo Clinic

The Hollywood Reporter:

Letterman, who noted the wife of his former musical director Paul Shaffer was hospitalized with COVID-19, lambasted Pence for the move.

“Now if you go to the Mayo Clinic because you have COVID-19, you really have it,” Letterman said. “[Pence] takes time off from his gig as a mannequin, and he’s walking around without a mask taunting these poor people who are bedridden and wearing a mask. To me, that is just taunting people who are ill, to see that guy walking around in his $40 suit walking around in the Mayo Clinic without a mask.”

Letterman joked that he had intel that Trump would not wear a mask because his aides couldn’t figure out how to attach it to his hair.

Man, if only Letterman still had a show. He was doing episodes of his late night talk show from unusual locations long before now, when all the late night talk shows have to be shot from unusual locations.
