Days after walking out in the middle of her CNN interview with Fredericka Whitfield, comedian Joan Rivers got a taste of her own medicine when she appeared on last night's Late Show with David Letterman on CBS.

Asked by the host about the incident, Rivers explained that Whitfield had been "very judgmental, very nasty, very opinionated ... like my wedding night," and later revealed she was recently passed over for a Depends commercial. "Remember June Allison?" Rivers asked Dave, recalling the original Depends ads spokeswoman. "While I'm talking to you, I'm taking a dump," which prompted Letterman to stand up, take off his jacket and Exit the stage!
