Principled Man Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Letterman had the best musical guests as well as the best sounding mix (as far as musical guests go) IMO. I don't think any of the current late night talk shows will ever come close to topping Dave in that regard to be honest. It was always super cool when he had Steve Martin and Earl Scruggs and many other bluegrass greats come on and play..... :ebert: :ebert: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xanadoood Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Stern :eyeroll: Thats all I have for him, an eyeroll... Yeah, let's have some chiks on and have them take their tops off. Stern was outrageous but not clever IMO. Not like Dave. Dave never resorted to crude shit to get laughs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narps Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 I always loved Howard Stern's appearances on the show.I always loved Howard Stern. Heck with Dave...It's Howard's show when he's on. On his last appearance I doubt Dave said more than 10 wordsJust meant I have been a fan of Stern since he was on DC 101 way back. Super talent in my view. Don't mean to highjack the thread. Carry on folks... Stern more Talanted than Letterman? No.Just my opinion but I think Stern is brilliant. The best and most talented radio personality ever in my view. I used to get his Sirius show on Time Warner here and no longer do. I realize he is polarizing and its mostly love or hate with him but I choose the former. I have been following him off and on since 81' and was just saying to my wife yesterday that I wish I could still hear him in the morning as morning radio here is sh*t. A great interviewer also. Just my opinion as I said. Again, don't wish to highjack the thread. Back to Dave... :) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tombstone Mountain Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Stern :eyeroll: Thats all I have for him, an eyeroll...Say what you want about Howard Stern, that guy can really do great interviews. Check out his interviews with the Great Robert Duvall--amazing, insightful, and respectful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
custom55 Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 My 'best' friend since high school is technical director for Dave. I'm normally not up that late but I watch last night. Great moments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact he has been a regular guest on Letterman for over 30 years says a lot about their relationship and impact on radio/ tv . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hadn't really considered that angle but what you say is true. :cheers: They had a mutual admiration society going on over the years for sure. I know on Howard's show he had the "Evil Dave" character going for a long time. The dude sounded just like him too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Babycat Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 I wish I could say something about David Letterman (or even about Jay Leno or Conan O'Brien), but I never got to watch either of them. I will wish the fella well in his retirement, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
workingcinderellaman Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 I loved Letterman in high school. Since then, nope. I slept well last night.I loved the show as well back in the early to mid eighties. I used set the VCR to record it. And it was always on whenever my friends were over late on Friday night. I don't think he was nearly as funny after he left Late Night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too thought Late Night on NBC was much better. One of my all-time favorite bits was when he started a feud with (the notoriously prickly) Bryant Gumbel. Gumbel was recording a segment of The Today Show (live, of course), outside the studio. Dave threw open the window and yelled down, "I'm the president of NBC and I'm not wearing any pants!!" Completely disrupted Gumbel's interview and he was sooo pissed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
librarian Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 I miss Dave and Craig Ferguson already. Hope Mr. Colbert can step to the plate and deliver.On the other hand, maybe I'll actually get some sleep now instead of watching TV. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
