I thought he was already dead and just forgot to lay down.
“Nasty, bitter, left wing television host announces his retirement”
They forgot pervert sexual predator.
I stopped watching this nut many years ago when he put a meatball on top of a xmas tree
I used to love him, but quit when I began to feel personally insulted. Never missed him, not for one minute, since then.
I used to watch him back in the 80’s. Loved the time my hometown hero Jerry “The King” Lawler bitch slapped Andy Kaufman on live TV.
imagine if he had made those same JOKES about Obama daughter instead of Palins kid
Well,,,,The Velcro Suit was funny! That’s about it.
I’d say the late night shows are pretty close to “over”. People would rather watch movies. The shows are only advertisement for anyone who made a movie or wrote a book.

That wasn’t in the title at the article source.
I thought there were two things that really impressed me about what a nasty Letterman was.
The first was indirect, in that he was nasty to Shirley MacLaine, apparently for no particular reason, and so when she told other actresses that he had a “bad aura”, or the equivalent spiritualist babble, they went on his show expecting the worst, and were not surprised when he mistreated them as well. And then told him to his face that they came on his show while knowing he was a creep, so weren’t shocked by his rudeness.
The second was more to the point, that Letterman does not like animals, though he had to invite them on the show, and the animals picked up on that dislike and returned it.
Maybe she had a point about his “bad aura”, but that’s pretty obvious with a jerk and a-hole like him.
I never could stand letterman or the little weasel paul shaffer(sp)!
As bad as his liberalism is, it wasn’t the main reason I could’t stand watching him. It was his bitterness and nastiness. I don’t see how someone so nasty could be a TV host.
Sadly there will be a line of un-funny “comedians”, just as left wing and bitter to take his place. The idea of giving a non-lib a platform is repugnant to these network execs.
There was a time earlier in their careers, when both Letterman and Bill Maher were comics.
I used to think his late late show, after Johnny was funny, when I caught it... he was a young man then..
in older age, he got nasty and political...
same with Bill Maher... I saw him at the Improv in Hollywood, and thought he was tremendously funny...
but later he became a political animal...
haven’t watched either of these guys since.
Same here. The Tonight Show was his white whale. He sure became embittered.
I never understood how the unfunny POS lasted this long.
If Dave had retired on top in 1987, we’d probably all think much better of him.
Up until the 2000 Presidential election, I tuned in to watch Letterman most nights of the week. Then came the contested election, and Letterman — who simply couldn’t wrap his demented mind around the fact Bush won — decided to go political, lambasting Republicans and Conservatives on a nightly basis. Never watched that POS again.
