David Letterman has shown some verbal muscle in the past month during his tussle with Jay Leno, and on Monday he showed some physical strength as well when he knocked over long-time stage manager Biff Henderson with a football toss, sending him to the hospital.
While waiting on-set for the arrival of New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees, who was stuck in traffic, Letterman fired a pass to Henderson. “I caught it,” he said, according to the NY Daily News, before falling off the stage and nearly into the laps of several ‘Late Show’ audience members.
“I can smell a lawsuit,” Letterman reportedly joked before Henderson complained of not being able to move his knees.
Audience member Sheva Oliver described the scene to the News: “They cut the cameras and the band played for about 20 minutes and that’s how we all knew it was serious.”
Paramedics were quickly ushered in, and Henderson was wheeled out on a gurney and taken to a nearby hospital where he was treated and released.
