*In late [[October 2005]], [[Jay Leno]] told the ''[[New York Daily News]]'' that he and Letterman have not spoken to one another in 13 years.
*In [[December 2005]], a fan named [[Colleen Nestler]] (whom Letterman claimed he had never met) filedsought a temporary restraining order in a [[Santa Fe, New Mexico]] court against Letterman, claiming he used code words and gestures on his television broadcasts to convey romantic feelings towards her. She claims these incidents caused her "mental cruelty." After a judge granted the order, Letterman's lawyer declared the order "absurd and frivolous" and filed a motion to end it. [http://www.eonline.com/News/Items/0,1,18017,00.html?newsrellink] At a [[December 26]] hearing, the order was lifted. [http://www.eonline.com/News/Items/0,1,18041,00.html] As usual, Letterman was able to make fun out of the situation: during one of his monologues soon after the story broke, he told the audience after they laughed at a joke he had made: "That wasn't a joke, that was a coded message."
*In an interview on Tom Snyder's Late Late Show, Letterman expressed his fascination for the hobby of short-wave radio listening. [http://users.abac.com/ksitterley/snyder2.htm]
