A "Late Show With David Letterman" crew member was briefly hospitalized for
smoke inhalation in a small electrical fire at the building that houses the Ed
Sullivan Theater.
Fire officials responded about 10 a.m. Wednesday after a report of an odor of
smoke inside the building at 1697 Broadway, where Letterman does his late-night
talk show at the historic 80-year-old theater. According to CBS, one crew member
was taken to a hospital as a precaution, but then released.
A small fire that originated inside an air conditioning unit was blamed for
the smoke. No other injuries were reported, and the Letterman taping with guests
Rebecca Romijn, Jimmy Walker and LeAnn Rimes wasn't delayed.
"Everyone was OK, and they actually believe the fire was started by a
disgruntled audience," Letterman joked on the show.
