Honestly, if you think about it, he was always a one trick pony.

Letterman had pretty much lost it when he retired.  His show was brilliant in the early days, even when he was on during the daytime.  Toward the end, he was just going through the motions.

As far as the box office numbers slumping as badly as they have recently, part of that is indeed due to people staying home and watching the movies there.  But, part of it is also the fact that the product Hollywood has been cranking out more recently is just crap.  The number of retreads that are popping up really water down the movie experience.  There are a few franchises that still rate serious box office, but the lack of originality coming out of Hollywood these days, and the garbage they're cranking out lately has had an impact on what we're seeing at the box office.
