David Letterman will be the host of the Academy Awards telecast this year, the first purely television star to fill that role since Johnny Carson handled the job in the 1960s and 70s.The motion picture academy and ABC, which is to broadcast the awards show on March 27, made the announcement of Mr. Letterman's selection yesterday. Ted Harbert, the president of ABC Entertainment, said he hoped this would be the "long-term solution" to the question of who would be host."If Dave likes the experience, this could be a great answer for the show, just the way Carson did the show for many years," Mr. Harbert said.

David Letterman was pretty thoroughly savaged by the press for his performance as host of the Academy Awards broadcast. But he's ready to do it again, he said in his first interview since the Oscars. "Overall, I enjoyed the experience, as strange as that may sound. The only thing that is sort of residually troubling to me is the notion that I embarrassed myself. But having developed fairly thick skin over my 48 years, that's not too much of a problem."What was a problem, he said, was trying to re-create the seat-of-the-pants feeling of his "Late Show" on CBS."

ABC's efforts to land late-night host David Letterman have cast a shadow over the fate of Nightline, Ted Koppel's highly regarded news program at the struggling network. Staffers at ABC said that the news division, including ABC News President David Westin, first learned of the Letterman negotiations on Thursday night. Like Nightline, Letterman's current CBS show airs weeknights at 11:35. But senior ABC network executives have recently made it clear to Letterman they would be willing to shift or cancel the news program to accommodate him. Several people at ABC News confirmed the network's eagerness yesterday to pursue Letterman, even at Nightline's expense.

If your dog plays soccer, please, don't go to Hagerstown on Saturday to try to have Fido featured on David Letterman's Stupid Pet Tricks."Dogs that play soccer, that's like my worst nightmare," says Bill Langworth, stupid pet and human trick coordinator (now there's a job title!) for "The Late Show with David Letterman.""I mean, it might be amusing for you at home, but on the show, everything's got to have a beginning, a middle and an end. How long can you watch a dog kick a ball around the stage?"

"The Kennedy Center Honors" is one of the nation's great TV treasures. And while this year's show is a little uneven, the high points still make it one of my favorite TV viewing experiences of the year. Maybe you have to be a little older to appreciate this annual production on some levels. If you grew up with TV in the 1950s and '60s, the golden age of variety shows hosted by such stars as Judy Garland and Danny Kaye, you can appreciate "Kennedy Center Honors" as the last, great variety show on television.

Baltimore comedian Mike E. Winfield just scored a gig hosting a new weekly show on Fuse. Winfield, an actor with a most-voluptuous Afro who last year had a recurring role on "The Office," will be the face of "Off Beat," a show that will highlight the week's funniest music-related videos. It premiers at 10 p.m. Sept. 14. There are 12 episodes of the show planned, which should take Winfield's primetime run through November. Winfield, who now lives in Sacramento, made his television debut on "Late Show with David Letterman" in 2010.

Dodge flexes its muscle Steve Johnson Chicago Tribune The best ad was for the Dodge Charger. The clever, self-mocking script listed the many accommodations domesticated men make: "I will put the seat down," "I will watch your vampire TV shows with you," and so on. And because of this, it concluded, "I will drive the car I want to drive," positing the reborn Charger muscle car as "Man's Last Stand." Why it worked: It was cleverly written, and the visuals - a series of men staring blankly at the camera - were arresting.

Talk-show host David Letterman said Thursday that he was the victim of a $2 million extortion attempt related to his sexual relationships with staff members on CBS' "Late Show With David Letterman." During a taping for Thursday night's broadcast, Letterman told viewers that three weeks ago, he was approached by a person who claimed to have information about the host's affairs with female staff members.

Consider yourself enlightened.

In my blog on Thursday, I called Fox's wretched Octomom special the official low point of summer viewing. Before making that call, I went back through the summer schedules and my posts to make sure I wasn't slighting some equally dreadful TV production. I wasn't. In the process, though, I realized it's been a weird summer of TV. So I started writing down my highs and lows. Here are my seven highs and three lows - for a summertime Top 10 list. Notice the decided lack of dramas and sitcoms on my list of bests.

You have to admit late-night TV has become a lot more interesting in the past two weeks, since Jay Leno, who consistently dominated the competition, left for prime time. Two weeks ago all eyes were on Conan O'Brien, who struggled in his much-hyped opening nights to find the right voice - especially when it came to the monologue, his great and glaring weakness. Last week, David Letterman was all the buzz with crude jokes about Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's daughters - and Palin's angry response that stopped just short of labeling him a sexual "pervert" - her word, not mine.
