I think Teri Garr is playing... I mean she is on often (why does she
keep coming back?) and her reactions and actions are melodramatic.
I don't think she is being manipulated into it, I think she plays
with it.  I do think Letterman is overly rude to some people at times
though.

Concerning musical guests, I agree that he seems to treat them
with respect.  Even Screaming Trees and Shakespear's Sister (listening
to now), with all of one members weird make-up, got respect, even
though there were a couple jokes about glitter.  He also said he felt
like a geek when he went out to thank them and they all started
dancing and he was just standing there.
