Good. Sunday shows are Democratic propoganda shows anyway. However, David Letterman had the highest ratings since the 90’s and that is rather sad.

Well, when you are in the dumps, you can only go up.

Mainly because Conan is a bomb, I would guess. Me? I got no use for any of the late talkers (or Sunday shows).

I sort of assumed Letterman was more politically sophisticated than a high school sophomore. Guess I was wrong.

" David Letterman had the highest ratings since the 90’s and that is rather sad."

Actually, it was the highest rating since the Oprah appearence several years ago. And, you have to dig a little into the numbers to really appreciate what happened.

Obama was on Leno earlier this year, about two months(ish) after the inauguration. That appearance garnered a metered rating of 11.2. What's a metered rating? I have no idea, but that's the ratings-speak in the industry.

But, when Barry was on Letterman last week, the metered rating for that show was 5.6 - a 50% decline from the number he posted for Leno. So, while Obama's appearance was a boom to Letterman, he performed very poorly compared to just a few months ago. In short, people are getting sick of seeing him the the tele.

The Fidel schtick is not working too well on the American-Americans, I guess.
