does anybody like David Letterman?

I don't think he is funny at all. I can barely watch his show and the only reason I watch it every now and then is when he has a guest on that I want to see.

Used to really like it when I was in school and stayed up late. Went to a live taping about 8 years ago. I have a job now so can't stay up that late to watch it

Loved the show in the 80's (monkey cam), hadn't watched in a decade atleast.

He was the best in the late 80's through the mid 90's. Now when I catch it once every 8-12 months it's pretty awful. He has changed with age.

20+ years ago it was good - hasn't been for decades.

I haven't really watched since joining the Army (staying up til past midnight is hard when you have to wake up at 5:30 am), but I always preferred him over Leno.

Some of his interviews are actually alright. If I do sit down and watch late night stuff, I only watch Letterman in the 35 minutes between the end of Conan and the start of Ferguson.

Used to watch religiously about 15 years ago. The only time I watch now is when Jack Hannah is on. Their chemistry together is awesome!

He is so liberal, he would have to be VERY funny for me to watch his show, and he's not.

I haven't watched much at all since the 90s, but I always thought he was great at interviewing guests, and allowing them to be funny and steal the show.

There was not a bigger Letterman fan than me, but his show has turned into a political message for liberals and its hard to watch now if your not like minded. It is sad because Letterman's early stuff was groundbreaking comedy. I still have boxes of vhs tapes of the show from the 80's.
