Well-known to have a longtime beef with one another, David Letterman finally gave a little insight to his feud with Oprah Winfrey.
Claiming that their issues didn't stem from his hosting duties at the 1995 Oscars, the "Late Show" host said, "This predates the Academy Awards. She hated me long before then."
Chatting on the Jon Stewart Show, Letterman continues, "We were both having lunch on vacation. I said to [now-wife] Regina, 'Oh, this is hilarious, I'm going to make Oprah buy us lunch'? so the waiter comes over, I said, 'Oh, this woman right there has been kind enough to take care of our check.' As we're leaving, I wave to Oprah? and then we walk. We got a free lunch and that's where it started!"
Following sixteen years of tension, the two finally let bygones be bygones, as Oprah made an appearance on Dave's show in 2005.
