does anybody like David Letterman?

[Billy Costigan]

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

 

[Manvol]

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

 

[BenGrimm]

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.

Only liberals like his show

 

[DynamiteMcGhee]

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!

 

[shelbyvillevol]

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

 

[n_huffhines]

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.

I hate republicans just as much as Letterman but I still find his shots to be ignorant and sorely lacking in creativity. Letterman is the worst late night show by a pretty large margin.

 

[bamacheats]

I hate democrats too, fwiw.

Conan FTW

 

[gordonr24]

He's too much like Kimmel and Colbert. He's turned his show way too much into politics. I don't find him funny at all. It shows in his ratings too as Leno has been kicking his ass ever since Leno got The Tonight Show gig over Letterman. Good choice

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Honestly I can't believe him or Leno are still on the air. Letterman still does the Top 10 every night and that hasn't been funny in decades. I haven't watched in about a year and when I last did it looked like even him and Paul were bored.

Let's bee friends.

 

[Billy Costigan]

I like Jay Leno. I know nothing about Letterman's politics but he is just not funny at all.

 

[volfanCLT]

Can't stand him.

 

[MG1968]

Letterman was pretty good up until Sept. 11, 2001. After that, his shows took on an overtly political tone and became less funny and more preachy.
