Letterman, eh? Such an acquired taste. Which is to say I've never met a non-[north-]American that got it. Same with Seinfeld.

I don't know whether I fully 'get' Seinfeld or Letterman, but I do know that I like them, a lot. Coming from London, it's entirely possible that the only thing I really get in full is Chas n Dave and Minder repeats. Oh well.

In a world of so much mindless tyalk show "interviews" (and I definitely throw in conan o brian and jay leno into this) I love that Dave Letterman will still use his show to ask actual questions and actual real life stuff, the very stuff that celebrities do not want to talk about. My favorite was when he asked her "you DO know what you were in for right?" like she is a dumbass, and the stupid dumbass just looks at him because SHE DOES NOT EVEN KNOW and then he sdays "because of driving with a suspended license right?" and the stupid bitch sez "yeah."

ain;t no softball questions!

the best Letterman of all was when Crispin Glover tried to karate kick him.

god that was some funny shit. it's been awhile since I've watched Dave, but I still like him.

crispin glover spent the better part of a decade trying to tell people he was NOT on LSD when that happened.

I remember seeing it live. it made me laugh!

me too! and to this day, it stands in the TOP 5 moments in television for me.

I think that I was 15 or 16 when it happened, and it blew my mind.

I know KUNG FU!!

I still say that shit.

I know kung fu! I am strong!!!!

it's pure fucking comic genius when something said 20 years ago can still make me laugh just as hard as it did the first time.

unfortunately, the picture that I posted above doesn't include his flying shoe. holymotheroffuck that's good shit.

No dear, I must disagree. That's like saying, "If all that's left to eat is fetid dogshit, I'm going to eat Queens-grade Corgi dogshit." You're still eating dogshit. It might be slightly less unpleasant, you might be less likely to get mixamytosis, you might even survive without an epic tapeworm, but you are still, at the end of the day, eating dogshit.

And winning a battle of wits against Paris Hilton isn't really much of an achievement, is it?

It's a bit like chewing through a particularly soft bit of dogshit.

KILL ALL METAPHORS WITH OVERUSE 2007!!!!!!!!!!!!

did letterman ever have it in the first place to lose though?

who said it was a battle of wits?
It was an interview, nothing more nothing less, but trademark letterman, not schilling his guest's latest "product" which he hates to do, and instead trying to see if she is truly dumb or just pretending.

Letterman is GOD.

you had to live through it to understand.

every single guy out there now, jimmy kimmelm, conan o brian, craig kilborn, etc., are all aping leterman and how he ran his show.

Interview? Dogshitview more like. Trademark? Dogshitmark more like. Schilling? Dog-archaic Dutch currency-shit more like. Truly dumb or just pretending? Truly dog of shit shitending more like.

I lived through some dogshit once. It was shit.

to each their own

beauty lies in the eye

Dogshit lies in your eye, apparently.

why cant i rep you all the time glice?

It's a travesty, for sure Mr Boy.
