The snake finally ate its own tail in the long-running NBC debacle over its mishandling of the network’s late-night switcheroo, with a Super Bowl promotion for David Letterman’s “Late Show” on CBS (CBS) last night. Starring Letterman, daytime talk show queen Oprah Winfrey and–big reveal–Jay Leno, it was a touchdown for Dave.

Here’s a priceless video segment from David Letterman’s “Late Show” last night, as he is taught how to use Twitter by actor Kevin Spacey. After asking how much it costs and noting that he could get anyone on Manhattan’s 57th Street to say hello just as much as Spacey could get tweets from his 800,000 followers, Letterman officially declares Twitter a “waste of time.” Perhaps so, but it also makes for great talk-show schtick.
