Help us PJ O'Rourke...you're our only hope.
LOL - Even if this were true, (it’s not) riding Tiger’s coattails AND new writers couldn’t help Letterman’s slide to into irrelevancy.
David Letterman has always been an embarrassment to Hooosierland.
Quit? To go work for who? Jimmy Fallon? Ya, right.
It is only believable if believe people in the entermainment industry have any principles.
No kidding....
“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’ ...
So they quit. Show’s never been funny anyway.
Satire. This is the same guy who wrote a satirical interview with Tina Fey, in which she says she is now a Palin supporter.
No one can say it like P J Rourke
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.
