Doctors say Letterman underwent emergency quintuple bypass surgery after an angiogram found one of his arteries was seriously constricted. A spokesperson says the procedure went smoothly and David Letterman is expected to make a full recovery. The Late Show host has often joked about his health, especially his high cholesterol level. For a month, he even went on an oat bran diet, complaining nightly about the taste of the stuff. CBS says the network will air re-runs of the Late Show until Letterman gets back on his feet. That won't be soon enough for many of his fans.

((PAULETTE DEAN/DANVILLE AREA HUMANE SOCIETY: THEY ARE USED TO PROTECT THE CANINE OFFICERS, JUST AS MUCH AS A BULLET PROOF VEST PROTECTS THE HUMAN HANDLERS. THESE CANINE OFFICERS GO INTO THE SAME DANGEROUS CONDITIONS THAT THEIR HUMAN HANDLERS DO AND THEY DESERVE SOME PROTECTION.))
