The Mentalist star Simon Baker leads son Claude Blue, 10, into their waiting car after taping an appearance on The Late Show With David Letterman in New York City on Monday afternoon.

Harry got to visit his godmother, Nicole Kidman, who also made appearance on the late-night talk show on the same day. Fellow Aussie actress Naomi Watts is also a godparent to Simon‘s children.

Simon is married to actress Rebecca Rigg and they also have a daughter Stella Breeze, 15, and son Harry Friday, 7.

The Mentalist airs Tuesdays @ 9PM ET/PT on CBS.

The Mentalist hottie Simon Baker takes the cover of the November 24th issue of TV Guide.

In the show, the 39-year-old Aussie actor plays unconventional investigator Patrick Jane, the “master manipulator” who seeks revenge for the murder of his wife and daughter.

Here are a few interview snippets:

On his crazy life: “My life is pretty hectic but I’m really into it…if I died tomorrow, I’d die a happy man.”

On his childhood nickname: “They called me Ping Pong Ball, because I bounced around a lot.”

On his evil tendencies: “I am a devil and I finally found a role where I get paid to be a devil.”

Check out the new cover for TV Guide featuring the new guys for Fall TV 2008.

Pictured (left to right): Rufus Sewell (Eleventh Hour), Simon Baker (The Mentalist), Christian Slater (My Own Worst Enemy), Joshua Jackson (Fringe) and Jason O’Mara (Life on Mars).

I saw the premiere episode of Fringe and my feelings echo those of Variety‘s. Solid casting except for Jackson, who may forever be puppy-dog Pacey of Dawson’s Creek. But viewers shouldn’t be dissuaded to watch to show because of him. I really am dying to know what happens in the next episode, as I usually am with any show from J.J. Abrams (Felicity, Alias, Lost) . The Fringe premiere airs next Tuesday, Sept. 9 @ 8PM ET/PT on FOX.

The Sept. 8th issue of TV Guide hits newsstands this Thursday, Sept. 4th.
