Pat Sajak is a pretty funny guy but I think they’ll find him slumped over the wheel.

That is pretty exact. Do they know which Thursday afternoon in 2015 this will happen?

Letterman plays the fool for Obama... who cares if he’s leaving?

Retire? I thought he DIED years ago (or was I thinking about his humor?)

Is Letterman losing to Fallon?

If so, it's gotta hurt his ego.

Maybe Conan can replace Letterman. Both of them try to be at least a bit edgier than Jay or Jimmy.

Or maybe Jimmy Kimmel and ABC can go back to trying to compete with Nightline hosted by Ronan Farrow.

He is but he had a talk show and it didn’t go that well ratings wise.

Ha Ha Ha and Ho Ho Ho. Dropping watermelons and old TV sets off the rooftop. What a comic genius he was. So funny. Man, those were clever stunts. Watermelon then a TV. A TV and then a watermelon. Ha Ha Ha Dave. You jerk.

Before late night he was on in the mornings. Didn’t last because of the audience. One year because he was on contract with NBC for a late night show that didn’t happen.

Same schtick back then. He hasn’t changed his show in 35 years.
