David Letterman Retiring

Quote:Yeah, Letterman was great for a long time, but over the past several years, he's gotten more and more bitter. There was a time when it was cool to watch Dave, but those days are long gone.


He got the shaft when NBC passed him over for the Tonight Show in favor of Leno despite Johnny Carson hand-picking him as his replacement. When Dave went to CBS, it was like he was going against the establishment. Like you mentioned, guys like Chris Elliot and Larry "Bud" Melman, Mujibur and Sirajul all became celebrities as a result of the show. I remember going to NYC and sitting in the studio audience when he was at his peak, and it was a blast. The entire experience from the show itself to being able to visit the gift shop and other stores who were made famous by the show was awesome.


It will be interesting to see what CBS does. It wouldn't surprise me to see them go after someone like Conan O'Brien.
Yep. I used to watch Letterman religiously. It was a given since I was on second shift in his early days. Grab a couple of sixers after work and head over to my apartment with my friends and watch Dave. I think he started getting lame after he had his serious health problems. He just wasn't the same after that. I haven't watched in years.


Besides the celebrities, used to love some of the old bits. Stupid pet tricks. Stupid human tricks. Throwing stuff off a 10-story tower. Running things over with a locomotive.
