I was a big Letterman fan about 30 years ago. He became less funny each year. The last time I saw him, over 10 years ago, he was just a bitter, backward, caricature.
Yes. I took to calling him “Bitterman” his last decade or so on air. He was no longer funny. He was no longer entertaining. He was just bitter - and it came through quite clearly.
I agree, he was funny on NBC, but when he didn’t get the Tonight Show gig, he went to CBS and was painfully unfunny.
I quit watching 2 months after he moved to CBS.
After his his heart attack/surgery, he seemed to become very bitter and angry. I’ve heard that’s not uncommon.
Liberals have become less than less funny each year as they gain more and more power over popular culture.....back in the 60’s/70’s, they were the young rebels poking fun at the stodgy establishment.....now that they are the Establishment, they’ve transformed into humorless, dead serious, scolding enforcers of “correct think”
Same here. He was really witty in the DISTANT past then it became more and more obvious he’s just an a-hole.
