Wednesday night's "Late Show," Letterman's best yet on CBS, offered several examples of why his lively, anything-can-happen ambience makes Leno's more predictable, middle-of-the-road "Tonight" seem rather sleepy. Hey, where else are you gonna see slo-mo replays of Demi Moore spitting out a big wad of gum? Nowhere else but Dave's place. And you won't catch Jay ad-libbing the loboto-mized laugh of Beavis Butt-head the way Dave did Wednes- day. On other talk shows, Moore sometimes comes across like an aloof Hollywood prima donna.

But with Letterman, she was immediately at ease, a fun-loving, down-to-earth great dame. Who woulda thunk it? Knight-Ridder Newspapers Dave is getting to be pleasantly addictive in a real hurry. It was easy to miss him most nights on NBC, where "Late Night With David Letterman" aired to a a.m. audience that Letterman Joked was made up mostly of inmates, insomniacs and college students. But geez.

"Everybody else's topics are getting gamier and gamier," Philbin complains. "We're not doing that. We're two people. Interrelating, talking--- nothing new, to tell you the truth. But different" The real concept of the show, in a symbolic sense, is that they are husband and wife," says executive producer Michael Gelman.

Simplicity itself. But call it "easy" and you give Philbin fits. "It is a grind." he says. There are some days when you don't go out the night before, when absolutely NOTHING interesting has happened to you. But with us, it's every morning, live, and there are some mornings you Just don't feel like it."

They might talk about the weather, about the kitchen Regis is redoing, about pregnant Kathie Lee's gas pains and how she won't be taking 3-year-old son Cody to that scary "Jurassic Park."

Glamour and the everyday commingle seamlessly. It's the fast lane with frequent side trips for the common touch. "I am so SICK and TIRED of the TRAFFIC in this TOWN! It Just drives me NUTS!" Philbin might explode, doing his famous little-guy-against-the-world, before Gifford tames him with her full-throated laugh.
