A Tribute to Paul Newman by David Letterman

Last night on David Letterman, there was a short but terribly moving tribute to Paul Newman showing clips of Newman's various appearances on David Letterman over the years accompanied by Rufus Wainwright's "(Cold and Broken) Hallelujah" . I tried finding a video that was limited to just the brief clip, but all I could find was the long version where Dave, with all due respect, prattles on and on with an anecdote about Paul Newman, he, and a custom-made car Newman got him as a gift. Last night, it was moderately amusing, as Dave's stammering and acerbic befuddlement usually is, but if you want to skip straight to the tribute, just drag the cursor to 7:28, and try not to get choked up.
