Last week, a contributor to a hard-line website posted a
threat of violence against Letterman because the comedian had made fun of Al-Qaeda
leaders on a previous show. Letterman, back from vacation Monday, played the
threat for monologue laughs.
During Wednesday’s taping, Letterman asked Kutcher if his
bowtie was bullet-proof. The actor replied that “you can’t be too careful”
sitting next to a guy facing a threat.
Kutcher joined CBS’ “Two and a Half Men” after Charlie Sheen
was fired. He and Letterman predicted success for the revamped sitcom.
