NEW YORK, Feb. 4 /PRNewswire/ -- Dave and Oprah -- in love? Well, not exactly -- but show business titans David Letterman and Oprah Winfrey did team up to shoot a special surprise LATE SHOW with DAVID LETTERMAN promo that was broadcast during CBS Sports' coverage of Super Bowl XLI, Sunday, Feb. 4. The one-time-only spot, which ran during the highly-rated first quarter of the big game, was secretly taped Wednesday, Jan. 24 at the Ed Sullivan Theater in New York City. In the promotional spot, Indianapolis native Letterman, wearing a Colts jersey, and Chicago resident Winfrey, donning a Bears jersey, sit snuggled together on a couch watching the game. Letterman, while eating a mouthful of food, says to her, "You want the Bears and I want the Colts, but we both win because we're in love." Winfrey then turns to him and says, "Honey, don't talk with your mouth full," with Letterman responding, "Oh, sorry." This marks Letterman and Winfrey's first appearance together since her highly-rated visit to the Late Show on Dec. 1, 2005. That broadcast, which marked Winfrey's first visit with Letterman in 16 years, was viewed by 13.45 million viewers, making it the fourth-most-watched episode of the Late Show ever.
