It will be Stern's 15th appearance on the show. Producers for the Letterman show book their own guests, and Stern has been scheduled to appear on the show since January, according to a CBS representative. At that time, Stern was still on the air at CBS Radio and no lawsuit had been filed. Stern appeared on the Fox News Channel program Hannity & Colmes on Tuesday, March 7. On that show, he defended his position in the legal proceeding and made derogatory comments about CBS CEO Leslie Moonves. Letterman will no doubt ask him about the lawsuit on the March 13 episode. Late Wednesday, CBS issued a formal comment stating it does not interfere with guest bookings on the show. "This is a booking that had been planned by the [Letterman] show since January. Obviously, issues have risen since then, but we respect the show's editorial independence and don't intend to censor their programming decisions," read the statement.
