David Letterman has shown up in numerous comics. The Dark Knight Returns being the most famous:

But also in the Avengers:

This issue of The Incredible Hulk features a twofer, referencing not only Siskel and Ebert's At the Movies, but also commenting on the then-recent casting of Michael Keaton as Batman:
