And finally tonight, David Letterman doesn't have to turn green with envy
over Dennis Rodman's hair.
That's because the comedian and the Chicago Bulls star are now a matching
pair.
Tonight Rodman gave Letterman a quick spray with his trademark hair coloring.
No word yet if Dave's going to follow it up with the full body tattoos.
Stay tuned and you can see Rodman on the Late Show coming up next.
