Yes. Here are just some of the tricks he's going to do:

Letterman: (yells) The plane has landed.
Pope:  Gets down on both knees and kisses the floor.

Letterman: Tosses a Ritz cracker to him, and says, "Communion!".
Pope: Catches the cracker in his mouth and starts making crosses with his hands.

Letterman: Tosses a skull cap in the air.
Pope:  Leaps into the air, catches the cap on his head, and lands in a 
       genuflecting position.

The Pope will also demonstrate his sense of humor.  David will select members of
the audience to be blessed by the Pope.  In reality, the Pope damns them to 
eternal Hell in Latin.  Since noone knows Latin, JP has a real good laugh.
