Lumpy Rutherford's Blue Period

JUST KIDDING: David Letterman's late night extravaganza seemed doomed in Detroit for awhile (Detroit was one of the first markets to drop his morning show, replacing it with John Davidson's, an unforgivably crass thing to do) but after the local NBC outlet's nefarious plans were leaked to the public by Motown media watchdog and muckraking journalist Mike Duffy, the hue and cry was intense enough to make the powers that be decide to give the show more time to click, ratings-wise (while, in a let's-not-encourage-therabble type move, denying that the h & c had anything to do with their decision).
