NEW YORK (Hollywood Reporter) - Adam Sandler filled in as host of "Late Show With David Letterman" on Tuesday after Letterman went home early with a stomach bug.

Sandler was previously booked as the main guest on Tuesday show to promote his upcoming drama "Reign Over Me," but agreed to host when Letterman fell ill before taping began, CBS said. Sandler's co-star Don Cheadle, in town like Sandler for the movie's premiere at New York University, was called to fill in as a guest.

Previously scheduled guests race-car driver Danica Patrick and musician Lucinda Williams also appeared, as did comedian Todd Barry. Barry was also called to fill.

Letterman's illness isn't serious, and he was expected back for next Monday's show. Wednesday's show was pre-taped, and Thursday's and Friday's shows are repeats with a later start because of the CBS telecast of the NCAA men's basketball tournament.

...that Dave will allow someone to sit in for him. And since he wasn't feeling that well to come to the Sullivan Theater, Adam did a pretty good job subbing for him!
