 (March 27th, 2008 - Editor)                    Actress Kelly Preston ("The Tenth Circle," "Death Sentence") will guest star in NBC's hit drama "Medium" for a four episode arc, beginning Monday, April 14, 10-11:00 p.m. ET. Beginning with an episode entitled "Partners In Crime," Preston will play Meghan Doyle, an attractive venture capitalist who likes what she sees when Joe Dubois (Jake Weber) makes a presentation on his new solar power-based invention to her investment firm. Her decision to independently fund and become business partners with Joe ultimately creates tension in his marriage to Allison (Emmy winner Patricia Arquette), it was announced today by Executive Producer Glenn Gordon Caron.
          "We're thrilled to have Kelly join us for the final episodes of Season 4," said Caron. "For the role of Meghan Doyle, a venture capitalist who decides to underwrite Joe, we needed an actress who exuded both intelligence and sexuality. Someone who could stand toe-to-toe with Patricia and Jake, and credibly create chaos in a household and a marriage that is as strong as any on television."

******************************************************************************************************************************           Opening Remarks From The "Late Show With David Letterman" On The CBS Television Network from Monday, March 17th to Friday, March 21st, 2008.

"Happy St. Patrick's Day, ladies and gentlemen.  Today is St. Patrick's Day. Tomorrow, of course, is 'Let's Join AA Day.'"

          "It was exciting. Up in Albany at the Governor's mansion earlier today, women were outside of the governor's mansion wearing buttons that read, 'Kiss Me, I'm $4,000."

          "And I feel bad when this kind of stuff happens, but they were celebrating St. Patrick's Day down in Washington, and, of course, President Bush was so confused.  He comes out on the White House lawn and pardons a corned beef."

          "Did you folks have a good St. Patrick's Day?  A lot of people get drunk. Did you folks get drunk on St. Patrick's Day?  I think maybe I had a little too much to drink yesterday.  I don't remember what happened exactly, but I woke up this morning between former Governor Jim McGreevey and his wife."

          "It just gets stranger and stranger, doesn't it?  We had the former Governor Jim McGreevey, who announced one day that he was not going to be married anymore because he liked kissing boys.  And so, that's right.  I don't mean boys, I meant men.  So, anyway, they said, 'Okay, you don't have to be governor anymore.'  And then, now it turns out that he and his wife and another guy were have a three-way sexual - three-way.  And I read that and I said to myself, 'I can't even handle a three-way bulb.'"

"How about the economy?  You folks jittery about the economy?  And the stock market?  One day, ka-boom, the next day, whoa-ho.  And it's crazy, isn't it?  George Bush earlier today reassured the country about the economy, and he said, 'I'm on top of it.'  George W. Bush, our President, said, 'I'm on top of it.'  And I said to myself, 'Well, that's good enough for me."

          "There was one bit of good news for the economy earlier today.  At the last minute, a large investment bank was rescued at the last minute.  It was adopted by Angelina Jolie.".

"How about that John McCain, ladies and gentlemen?  Do you like John McCain?  John McCain recently said that he supports George Bush's Iraq policy.  And I said, 'Well, sure, slice me eight more years of that, will you?'"

"You folks excited about March Madness?  You know, here's how it works:  we go from 65 to32 then to 16 then to eight and - uh, oh no - no, no, those are Hillary Clinton's super delegates."

          "Here's something, I was thinking about this today:  Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama and what a contest for the Democratic Presidential nomination.  Kind of exciting, isn't it?  But they have a lot in common.  Hillary and Barack have a great deal in common.  Both are lawyers, both are senators and neither one is sleeping with Bill Clinton."

          "Can you tell spring is just around the corner?  Can you feel it?  Here is a sure sign of spring in New York City. Donald Trump evicted a family of robins from his hair."

          "Just a reminder, and I don't want to be like an old man about this, but you've got to pay your income tax.  Have you been paying your income tax?  A large part of the audience not been paying their income tax.  Well, you have to or you'll be doing time in the old gray bar hotel.  They'll have you in the slammer.  And do you have a good accountant?  That's the key.  My accountant, I'm going to change, because I can't tell you the number of times I go over there with all my forms and stuff and I knock on the door and I walk in and he's playing 'Guitar Hero."
