I like him, too, but I don't think he's that funny anymore!

did anyone notice how much less miserable he became after he had his son? i remember it being painful to watch him sometimes because it genuinly felt like he didnt like what he was doing. dunno how to describe it any better, he just changed for the better. he GLOWS now! if only he could have as good guests as leno.

I haven't watched him in forever, I just kind of lost interest. But he's got enough great stuff in the archives to qualify as Classic.

I like him, but don't watch that often. The "George W. Bush Joke that's not really a joke" thing was funny.

Dave vs. O'Reilly

good fer Dave

"60 percent" - haha dave's so polite.

J.D. (Justyn Dillingham), Wednesday, 4 January 2006 07:18 (eighteen years ago) link

well sure. but he doesn't seem intimidated by O'Reilly (which even jon stewart does). i also like paul chiming in, "60 percent, yeah."

gypsy mothra (gypsy mothra), Wednesday, 4 January 2006 07:24 (eighteen years ago) link

watching that clip has reminded me that letterman is a much better interviewer than any other late-night host. stewart would make nervous kneejerk cracks through the whole thing and basically stay on o'reilly's good side, but DL's one funny line ("i'm not smart enough to debate you on this") really stings.

J.D. (Justyn Dillingham), Wednesday, 4 January 2006 07:34 (eighteen years ago) link

Will Dave make O'Reilly's fabled enemies list now?

His stint as Oscar host was fantastic. He skewered those pompous Hollywood liberals but good.

Best Line: "And here to introduce Best Foreign Film are Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins...and hang on, they're probably pissed off about somethin'."

Does the clip show when he stirred O'Reilly's water with his pencil right before introducing him? That really set the tone for what was to come.

Classic, by the way.

Vic Funk, Wednesday, 4 January 2006 19:05 (eighteen years ago) link

"Yeah, well, send Cindy Sheehan a hat."

Classic.

Has he lightened up on the nightly Brokeback jokes? The man has always been transparently twitchy about all things gay.

Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 4 January 2006 20:52 (eighteen years ago) link

Nope: he cracked one last night.

I LOVE how he's still doing "Great Moments in Presidental Speeches" or whatever it's called EVERY FUCKING NIGHT!

haven't bothered watching him for years (the decline since '82-88 is too sad), but tis pity he's now devolved into a self-regarding would-be pundit a la Jon Stewart. RIP.

Dr Morbius, Thursday, 25 September 2008 15:18 (fifteen years ago) link

(the decline since '82-88 is too sad)

nah, too easy

and what, Thursday, 25 September 2008 15:23 (fifteen years ago) link

after 20 years of pitiful Letterman, NOW you say something?

Mackro Mackro, Thursday, 25 September 2008 15:24 (fifteen years ago) link

He was always pretty damn self-regarding, and I don't think you could call any of his comments on McCain "punditry". Maybe sour grapes. I thought it was diverting enough. As Letterman usually is, if I'm in that mood.

NOW you say something?

Best 1982-86, esp when Sandra Bernhard or Pee-Wee were on. He's still gold compared to fucking Leno, but I watch maybe 3x a year.

Mackro, Shirley MacLaine says you and 'twat really are assholes.

oh, morbius, shut up.

YESSSSSS

Mackro Mackro, Thursday, 25 September 2008 15:37 (fifteen years ago) link

it seems like now that Morbs is in some kind of self-imposed exile from the election thread, he's turning into a sort of political gershy, reviving threads to sneak in posts

Nader, the Democracts, Chomsky, and the Left this time around

A bold plan drawn up by assholes to screw morons (dan m), Thursday, 25 September 2008 15:39 (fifteen years ago) link

That's his nickname for Ethan.

No, it's on the back of his baseball card.

Like anyone in showbiz, of course Letterman was self-regarding, but it was of an apolitical nature that at least had a solipsistic integrity about it (and was always leavened with his "I'm a jerk" ad libs which always sounded admirably sincere).

fun trend: bloggers telling ppl to shut up

Dr Morbius, Thursday, 25 September 2008 15:41 (fifteen years ago) link

i think craig ferguson is the funniest dude out there right now

Mohammed Butt (max), Thursday, 25 September 2008 15:42 (fifteen years ago) link

wait Ethan plays baseball with Shirley MacLaine now i am really confused

Mr. Que, Thursday, 25 September 2008 15:42 (fifteen years ago) link

fun trend: old ppl who don't watch the TV shows they complain about

Cletus Tiffins (Curt1s Stephens), Thursday, 25 September 2008 15:43 (fifteen years ago) link

lol at you assuming thread ban was self-imposed
