“But the list just isn’t funny.”

Uh, all the lists aren’t funny.

Letterman isn’t funny.

Unless you think his ugly dumbass goofy smilin’ face is funny.

Just sayin’ ...

Satire. This is the same guy who wrote a satirical interview with Tina Fey, in which she says she is now a Palin supporter.

If you had a drab, ugly wife named Regina

Isn't Regina Letterman's wife's name? If not, she should change it because the rest of the joke is true.......

From the comments:

Good one! Considering that the Late Show is in long-ago-scheduled repeats this coming week.

What other reliable exclusives do you have about the show?

The last time Letterman was funny was around 15 years ago.
