TV & VIDEO - March 17, 1989

Having kissed and made up with Willard Scott, “Today” show host Bryant Gumbel apparently is ready to let bygones be bygones in his grudge against David Letterman. Early-morning Gumbel has been mad at late-night Letterman ever since Letterman, shouting through a bullhorn, interrupted a taping of “Today” in 1985 at the Rockefeller Center skating rink. But the two are talking again, Gumbel having called Letterman to thank him for returning a copy of Gumbel’s now-famous memo that criticized his “Today” co-workers, particularly Scott. On Monday, Scott kissed Gumbel on the cheek during the “Today” show as they buried their hatchet.
