Thank you...I will try to hit two sponsors everyday. I wrote to letterman directly via the contact listed on the show website, it is CBSMailbag@aol.com
He jumped the shark quite a while ago.
It’s just a shame that he had to take any vestige of class down with him.
I’ve contacted 4 sponsors so far, plus CBS.
According to the lady who answered the phone at CBS Interactive, “We’ve been getting a lot of phone calls” without me asking, apparently the switchboard lady is overwhelmed)
The correct phone call is 212-975-4321
Thanks for posting this.
The first place I called, Brinker Int’ restaurants. The spokesperson said she had just heard about it and understood the outrage.
That she would make sure she passed my comment on.
I am thinking Brinkers (Chili’s,On the border, macaroni grill etc) deserves a pass for at least acknowledging this was despicable
By the way, the guy you get at the “Late Show” is a jerk.
All the ones with a clear e-mail addy on the list have been contacted, urging them to pull their advertising from CBS for a time, and/or openly coming out and condemning Letterman and CBS for their remarks (as a concerned advertiser).
Keep it up people, let’s kick some arse on this.
Thanks!

Result: Bad info on Best Western and received the following from Ancestry.com
"Thank you for bringing this important matter to our attention. I can confirm to you that Ancestry.com is not an advertiser or sponsor of the CBS Late Show with David Letterman. It is unclear how the companys name ended up on this list, but it appears to be a mistake. I wanted to respond to you personally to clarify the situation.
