LATE SHOW’S MOONVES OVER MIAMI: Bill Murray did his best to lubricate the grinding gears of Letterman’s Late Show by drumming up an amusing Super Bowl bit with the rapidly-fossilizing host last night.
During a guest sitdown, Murray *convinced* Letterman to phone CBS President Les Moonves about getting tickets to the big game.

Letterman to Moonves: “Are you going to the game?”
Moonves: “Of course I’m going to the game … Dave, would you like to join me?”
Letterman: “Yes, I would, Les, … but that’s the weekend I do my hospice volunteer work so I may not be able to make it. But my family wants to go.”
Murray then moved on Moonves: “Hi, I’m Dave’s brother, Bill. Let’s get to work on the relationship.”
Moonves: “When would you like to start?”
Murray: “I’m thinking maybe February 4th around 6:40 in the evening. … I need six down low.”
Moonves: “If it’s important to Dave Letterman, who is the most important person on the network to me, I would be happy to accommodate you.”
