The beloved funnyman underwent heart surgery in March, and he's opening up to David Letterman about the experience on tonight's "Late Show" on CBS. In a black t-shirt depicting a white heart, Willams tells Letterman that his heart "valves were shot."
He goes on to say that one of his valves was repaired, while the other was replaced with a cow valve. In trademark fashion, Williams joked about the experience: "I have a cow valve, which is great, and the grazing's been fun -- and I give a good quart of cream, too, my friend."
But in all seriousness, he tells Letterman, who underwent quintuple bypass surgery almost ten years ago, "You do get a second lease on life and it's a gift, you know, thank you, and thank all of you. It's, like, a great thing."
For more with Williams, who hits theaters on May 22 in 'Night at the Museum 2: Battle of the Smithsonian,' tune in to tonight's "Late Show with David Letterman."
