I had forgotten about that...thanks for posting it! I’m very glad to have experienced many years of Johnny Carson’s Tonight Show. A piece of Americana!
There was a time when David Letterman was funny, and I think Carson saw it. But unlike Carson, Letterman didn’t have the class or self-control to keep his personal views out of his work, and he devolved into the unfunny, angry leftist he is today. I haven’t watched him in almost twenty years.
