		<description><![CDATA[David Letterman, who has been quietly doing his second-place late night joker show over on CBS like forever, is all of a sudden beating the Tonight Show in the ratings. Calling Sarah Palin a slut really pays off!

Fallon&#8217;s scored a 2.3 rating which is an improvement, for now, on Conan&#8217;s 1.7 average&#8212;we imagine that people will be less endeared to Fallon [...]]]></description>

Mostly it was the canny-meets-annoying way that ABC kept teasing new changes and surprises to the flagging awards ceremony. What would they beeee, [...]]]></description>
