Letterman has jumped the shark.
The recent bad jokes about Palin and her daughter shows that Letterman has jumped the shark. A term used to describe a TV shows beginning of the end. This usually corresponds to the point where a show with falling ratings apparently becomes more desperate to draw in viewers. In the process of undergoing these changes, the TV or movie series loses its original appeal. Shows that have "jumped the shark" are typically deemed to have passed their peak.
Face it if Letterman cannot or will not attack Obama or the Clintons so his show has lost the political satire that he used to do. So all he can do to appear current is make disgusting jokes about safe targets, like Palin and her daughter. The fact that he has to make vulgar disgusting comments shows that he has gotten to old and bitter, and lost his edge. To attack a 14 or even 18 year old girl with a cheap shot is just sad, and show he has nothing left. I don’t think that Letterman’s contract will be renewed, and he may be off the air in less than two years.
“Since she presumably chooses to do this...perhaps we should be talking about her sanity, instead of just her homeliness... “
That’s true!
Let’s quit calling her homely and we can start calling her crazy! lol.
I know - it was a bad attempt at a joke.
I was thinking - maybe she was better looking before she met him.
Maybe that’s what happens to ya after you’ve lived with him for awhile?
Hey - did you hear why Letterman decided to finally have a child?
So he could have a good excuse to hang out at amusement parks.
Top Letterman ugly wife jokes:
Dave doesn’t go out in public with his wife much. It’s because he’s tired of having to carry around the pooper scooper.
Dave did take his wife out in public last week... She came in 4th place at the Belmont.
Some people meet their spouses at work or school or online. Dave met his at a carnival sideshow.
You would think an incredibly rich and famous television star would at least marry somebody that he could have sex with with his eyes open and the lights on.
Dave’s wife is homely looking. If she ever gave me a naked lap dance, I’d overdose on Viagra before ever getting an erection.
Dave once took his wife to the zoo. The zookeeper said, “Thanks for bringing her back.”
Some people think Dave’s jokes are vile, disgusting and plain ugly. No, those are the turn-on traits that Dave looks for in women.
Some people think Dave’s teeth and hair are bad, but when you get a good look at his wife, you’ll know it’s really his vision that’s totally messed up.
Please remember to tip the waitresses! :)
When my grandma was in her 80's, and had a sagging face with one drooping eye, you could still tell that when she was young, she'd been a real looker.
From what I can see, Mrs. Letterman has never once seen a pretty face in the mirror.
I have to admit she does look like David Duchovny. Weird.
I don’t really think it’s appropriate to comment on her looks, though I’m now guilty of it as well.
Well, to be honest, my eldest two are both in their late twenties. It's my second brood that are at home now.
I don't think his wife is off limits, either. She should be telling him to stop being such a jerk...unless she enjoys jokes about little girls getting raped by baseball players.
That is a great joke. Show me a tasteful joke and I will show you one thats not funny.

I am told Letterman’s kid does play date swaps with Michael Jackson’s son Prince.
