Stage and Screen favorite Kristin Chenoweth won the 2009 Emmy Award for Best Supporting Actress In A Comedy Series. She starred in the ABC series "Pushing Daisies," where she was nominated for the Emmy Award and won for her comic and inspired work. She visited The Late Show with David Letterman on September 24, 2009 and you can watch the segment right here on STAGE TUBE! Late Show airs at 11:35pm on WCBS channel 2 in the tri-state area.

Chenoweth is also set to guest judge on Fox's AMERICAN IDOL this season. Chenoweth joins Simon Cowell, Randy Jackson and Kara DioGuardi at the judges table for the Orlando auditions. The ninth season of AMERICAN IDOL will premiere on Fox in January 2010.

Kristin Chenoweth effortlessly transitions between television, stage and film. Television fans know her as Annabeth Schott on "The West Wing," and she was seen in the season finale of ABC's hit comedy "Ugly Betty." She portrayed Marian, the librarian, in ABC's movie version of Meredith Willson's "The Music Man;" Lily St. Regis in the television adaptation of "Annie"; and Mrs. Noodle on "Sesame Street." Ms. Chenoweth also starred in her own series "Kristin" for NBC.

Many remember her Tony Award-winning Broadway performance in "You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown" and her triumphant star turn when she originated the role of Glinda the Good Witch in "Wicked," which earned her a leading actress Tony Award nomination. She also performed in the Broadway comedy "Epic Proportions" and in the Kander and Ebb musical "Steel Pier," for which she won a Theatre World Award. Ms. Chenoweth also performed in an Off-Broadway production of Moliere's "Scapin" for the Roundabout Theatre Company. Ms. Chenoweth starred in "Stairway to Paradise," an original Encores! production celebrating the great Broadway revue, and in the highly lauded limited engagement of "The Apple Tree" at Roundabout Theatre Company's Studio 54.

David Letterman marked his 25th year in late night comedy on Feb. 1, 2007, and this year also marks his 14th year as the host of the LATE SHOW with DAVID LETTERMAN on CBS. After more than 4,500 late night broadcasts, he remains one of the most influential personalities in the history of television. Other than the late Johnny Carson, who hosted "The Tonight Show" for 30 years, no late night host comes near Letterman in longevity, critical praise and award recognition. Often imitated but never matched, Letterman presents, night after night, an unpredictable hour of innovative comedy.
