Union 5-3992 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Damn, unlike Leno, I'll actually miss Letterman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReRushed Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Letterman lost it decades ago. Smug and bitter. But, way back in the 1980's the man was brilliant. I forced myself to stay up and watch Late Night. Anyway, regardless of my personal opinion, the man is a television legend. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was pretty solid through the 90s IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PolarizeMe Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Well, I figured he'd retire by the end of the decade but still...damn. I actually liked him unlike Jay "Bigjaw" Leno, and always thought that his musical guest part of the show was the best of all the late night shows. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narps Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 I used to watch Carson all the time. I really haven't watched much late night television since he retired and then passed. If Stern ever did a late night show and was allowed to do his thing uncensored then I would be interested. Never really cared for Leno either. I gave him a chance when he first took over The Tonight Show but just didn't like him. Dave is a icon for sure in late night . You gotta give him that.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xanadoood Posted April 4, 2014 Author Share Posted April 4, 2014 A man who has never made me laugh....meh. If you were an impressionable 13 year old in 1984, staying up late watching him, you'd get it. Watching him in recent years, I could see why some might not think he's all that great.
