Comedian David Letterman’s CBS “Late Show” reportedly has invited his former late-night television arch rival Jay Leno to appear as a guest on the program before Letterman retires from TV in May.
The offer was extended last year, according to a report published on Wednesday by tvinsider.com, which cited unnamed sources.
A guest appearance on Letterman’s show by Leno, who stepped down last year as host of NBC’s “The Tonight Show,” could potentially be a ratings coup for CBS as it looks to capitalize on hoopla surrounding Letterman’s May 20 send-off.
CBS and “Late Show” producer Worldwide Pants both declined comment on the report.
