Letterman Love
We are sick of Stephen Colbert. Not a lot, just enough to switch over to taping Letterman in the 1130/1135 pm slot on our DVR.
-------------
David Letterman is the closest thing in our society to the late, great Johnny Carson, who in his prime was one of the most infuential and important figures in American society. With the splintering of the viewing audience via cable and the internet no one can hope to match what Carson was, but Letterman, with his cool yet dorky, intelligent without being a know it all personality never grates, and always is easy to take.
We couldn't stand Leno. Don't find Conan funny. And don't watch the others enough to know anything about them.
But Letterman? We loved, love, and will always love David Letterman, in spite of his human foibles.
Here's hoping he has another ten to twenty year run in him, as he is one of the true broadcasting giants.
