15 years later, amends



FTT hero Bill Hicks died 15 years ago, and one of the last indignities of his life was being censored by longtime supporter David Letterman for a skit he did on the Late Show. Tonight, Letterman is making amends, and bringing in the comedian's mother to introduce the clip.
