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.

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.

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.

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

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

OTM. The decline began as soon as Steve Jordan left the band and that ham-fisted fuck Anton Fig took over on drums. And when the band started to play pre-composed theme music for the bits instead of just flailing with Paul yelling "Yeah!" repeatedly.

ferguson is pretty funny, he was easily the best during the writers' strike too

tis pity (but not surprise) that you can't catch the ironic tone of his self-regard or the dignified passion of his emeritus-years nightly digressions into the state of the country

Letterman has gotten funnier since he's gotten more political. Props to Stewart, maybe, but it's a craft, not a science.

This was Letterman's finest moment in years, wtf. That he was pulling it off in his resolutely non-Daily Show format is just icing.
