UWS “Ratgate”: Letterman Opens Thursday Night Monologue With Fairway Rat Joke

Friday, September 28th, 2012

The latest Fairway rodent sighting continues to make its way around various media outlets.

Last night, David Letterman kicked off his monologue with a joke about the Fairway rat.

CBS doesn’t allow video embedding, so you have to click over to their site.

You can skip ahead to the 1:25 mark (it runs for about 40 seconds, until 2:05).

If you’re not familiar with all the details, here’s the original post on MyUpperWest from Wednesday, along with the video below.

H/t to my friend @ReginaDeCicco for the Letterman tip. FYI, she’s an Upper West Sider and will be performing tomorrow (Saturday night) at the UWS Underground Lounge
