I'm sorry to hear this. This brings back memories of the era when David Letterman was still off-beat, sarcastic, non-formulamatic and funny, a show that gave me a lot of laughs and good times in college when he was still on, and still funny, after the Tonight Show on NBC. I miss when Letterman and his show were fun, and Larry Bud is a remnant of that era, rather than the bitter partisan Michael Moore suck-up he is now.
Agreed. Letterman is completely unwatchable due to his partisan politics. He is snide and I would love to smack him. I smirk with glee knowing he never got Johnny's chair.
Letterman's show used to be hilarious a long time ago. I remember the skits with Chris Elliott (remember the panicky guy and the guy under the seats - were they same?), and Brother Theodore was funny too.
That was a very long time ago. I haven't watched that show in years.
His show became formulaic and lately he's showing his politics on a regular basis. Some of it, like Great Moments in Presidential Speeches where he shows a Bush stumble or stutter, is just down right meanspirited. He'll do that four or five days in a row.
He never has been a great interviewer, like Paar or Carson and I think he could use the skill now.
