David Letterman revealed last night that he'll be taking over for Oprah Winfrey when she steps down from her talk show

"I will be the new Oprah. Why? "I don't like staying up this late," he joked "It's gonna be exactly the same show...I'm giving away cars, I'm giving away houses."

"Every now and then we'll get an author on and I'll work him over: 'Who do you think YOU are?' And then we'll get some movie star hopping up and down on furniture...I'm the new Oprah." 

Dave wants to discount the popularly held belief that he's a "snarky putz." He's also getting Stedman in the deal and that her "O" magazine will now be "D." 

He goes on to predict that Oprah is making a "huge mistake" by creating her own network and predicts that Civil War reenactments two or three months.

I think a great replacement for Oprah Winfrey would be Robin Williams.
