Look up the definition of slander. It is something that people sue
for all the time. However, I don't know how likely you are to be
successful, especially since it would seem that slander is largely
how comedians make a living. With something as targeted as what he's
done (obviously discrediting a specific individual), though, you may
have a better chance. Of course, you are also talking about going up
against someone/something with significant financial backing - good
luck!
Regardless, in the end, any action against Letterman would probably
just be fuel for him to use against you (Leyan). Perhaps a better
approach would be to try to get Leyan (the real one) some air time -
perhaps even on Letterman's show. Sure, he's not likely to repeat
his 11 second performance, but at least he could repair some of the
damage done by the negative publicity provided by Letterman.
