Some of you may have seen this at the time, but for those of you who haven’t – and those of you who might want to watch it again – here’s Letterman’s mea culpa from January of this year for cutting the late Bill Hicks from his show some sixteen years ago. Click here for part one.

Hicks was absolutely brilliant. The closest to Father Bruce since Pryor.
Letterman's apology was admirable and surprising because of the lack of bucks stopping anywhere anymore. If only politicians possessed that kind of humility. Where have you gone, Harry Truman?
Thanks for posting, Mickey. We are absolutely starved for sanity these days and I find it on Doc 40.
Don't take that the wrong way. You are perfectly capable of being insane when you choose to be.
By the way, Hicks' facial parody of so-called pro-lifers is reminiscent of Uncle Bill's "decent church-going women with their mean, pinched, bitter, evil faces" from Thanksgiving Prayer. One sees a lot of that with the Death Panel Pods.
If the pink rabbits would just stop talking to me.
I know some pink elephants that can make ANYTHING go away...
Also: Bill Hicks... Awesome...
I don't get the cult of Bill Hicks. He wasn't funny. Period.
Oh yes he was.
Odd timing. I've been listening to Bill Hicks while driving to and fro work all week. I truly wish he were still with us.
Peter give Bill Hicks another listen.
It's called irony. He was making jokes yet was scared about how the world was going. He was probably also scared cause he had the cancer,and time was running out.
People like Bill Maher,Lewis Black,Jon Stewart all wish they could be as good as him.
Sorry to be on the soapbox,
I'll get down now.
