You Have Killer Legs, Kiefer

The whole Leno / Conan imbroglio has led some to wonder if the late-night talk show format is viable anymore. I’d like to retort that, were it not for shows like “The Late Show With David Letterman,” we wouldn’t have golden moments like this: Kiefer Sutherland, making good on a football bet from the weekend, showing up for Dave’s show … in a dress.

Sure, Sutherland showed up to talk about the new season of “24,” which kicks off with a two-night premiere this Sunday on FOX, but I can tell you that conversation wasn’t nearly as interesting as the account of Kiefer buying the dress.
