Letterman apologizes for censoring comic Bill Hicks in 1993

Letterman should have taken a page from the late, great, Andy Kaufman's book (coincidentally, Kaufman's apology was on the show, itself.)
Andy was never afraid to be a man and apologise for something that was crap (or, for that matter, he was never afraid to dish out the crap, either.)

He was slighted through his whole career and dying at 36 (?) was the biggest burn, he would have been awesome during the Bush Years.

That's ok - his style lives on in George Car... whoops.

Sam Kini... ohh. :(

Denis Leary? The point is that they're all the same guy and I'm sure I could name more. lol

Still, Hicks had the best delivery of any of them with the exception of Carlin - that's one's a tie for me.
