David Letterman Admits He Is Morning Drunk at Indianapolis 500 (Video)

If his racing team doesn’t win, ex-“Late Show” host tells “SportsCenter,” “I have every intention of faking my own death”

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready…

David Letterman is already celebrating with champagne at the Indianapolis 500 — or maybe it’s tequila, rum or even something more exotic.

“By the way, I’m drunk now,” he said Saturday morning on ESPN’s “SportsCenter,” one day ahead of the big Brickyard race — the 10oth to date.

The co-owner of Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing was in town — and in a racing jacket — for the sold-out Sunday spectacle. Watch the brief Vine at the bottom of this post for the early admission.

Clearly, the ex-CBS host plans on his driver winning tomorrow. If the team falls short, there will be highly personal consequences for the comedian.

“If we don’t win … I have every intention of faking my own death,” Letterman said. “I know a fellow who will remove my fingerprints. I have a post office box somewhere on the planet, that’s all I can tell ya.”
