1. more ads than actual show
2. half the actual show taken up by chintzy promos
3. strange adobe after affects de-wrinkler
4. monkeylike, camp sidekick
5. same old jokes running for years and never really funny in the first place
6. moronic audience clapping at unremarkable things
7. dull usage of audience and crew as stooges in stunts
8. inarticulate guests - mostly unknown outside the US
9. nasty AOR musical interludes
10. got boring after it changed networks

Top ten Reasons I Love Letterman:

1. It's fucking awesome.
2. It's fucking awesome.
3. It's fucking awesome.
4. It's fucking awesome.

Man, when I get passionate about something I can really convincingly argue the cause.

#10 is the one, on the money.

top ten reasons i love letterman:

letterman is cool. the top ten list is gay sometimes but it still cracks me up nonetheless

I'm more of a Conan person...

Letterman's no Jon Stewart.

hey kids, do ya love the rock and roll?

and

Big Ass Ham

ahhh the good ol' days of Letterman

I honestly don't think I've agreed with any post of yours Ive ever read. Not one. Not that there is anything wrong with differing oppinions, I was just kind of impressed at your dedication to posing the antithesis of my views. Well done.

Better than that piece of shit Leno.

You've just described every talk show since Steve Allen hosted the Tonight Show back in the 50s.

Letterman at his most boring is 10 times funnier than Leno will ever be. You really dislike him because he rips on Bush all the time.

Conan is great, but more for the writing, which has suffered recently. Conan himself is pretty hit or miss and falls back on the same few reactions to everything.

Kilborne is a smarmy, misogynistic frat boy, but I guess those people need something to watch too.

Jimmy Kimmel is great. His show is fun to watch, because they take all the standard talk show boredom and deconstruct it. I love Uncle Frank and Cousin Sal. It's like someone in your family getting a talk show.

John Stewart is what Dennis Miller used to be, without the attitude. It's not a talk show though.

Carson Daly is a massive tool.

Davis Letterman's morning show was one of the best things ever on TV.

heres 10 reasons why I love letterman.

10. Ball get outa my nachos. (mostly anything by Bif)
09. Creative veiwer mail responses.
08. using clips against bush, dr. phil. etc etc.
07. the top ten list.
06. that laugh that sounds like hes having a heart attack
05 paul's rediculousness and saying yeah a lot.
04 Norm McDonalds impression of Dave Letterman
03 That episode of Family Guy where Peter was Dave and Brian was Paul
02 Dumb use of Stagehands and Announcer that acctually turn out funny
01. Simply put dave just doesn't give a fuck

I think a lot of this goes for Leno, but not Dave.

the company my friend zack works for does the animated intro to the top ten list sometimes
Hatchling Studios

Did anyone catch the other night when he let out a HUGE belch in the middle of a sentence? It was great. It just rolled out and there was nothing he could do about it. His reaction was classic Dave.

Greatest impersionation evar.

I have no idea what that means ...


Dave rocks.

awesome

it took a lot of research....

I used to be a big Letterman fan - i guess about 15 years ago - but it was fresh and innovative then. I still have a video tape of David letting a chimp with a lightweight camera roam around the audience, rigging etc. I was hilarious to see the trouble it wreaked (and to see Dave offer its water to an unaware Dr. Ruth).

The top 10 & letters were good too.

Back then the show was natural.

now its on steroids and life support

I'll take Paul Shaffer's inane laughter anyday over Kevin Eubanks' insipid giggle.

and thats why you rock.

Dave also once did a show where the picture gradually rotated in 360 degrees throughout the broadcast ...

They just can't do that type of shit at 11:30.

Watch Dave.
Watch Leno.

There is no comparison.

he was good in spinal tap
