he embarrassed himself during the 2008 election and thereafter with his disgusting comments against the Palin daughter. Really showed no class. That turned me off and I don't think I watched him again. I did like many of his top 10 list over the years.


You are humorless then. The joke wasn't even about Palin's daughter, it was more about Alex Rodriguez. People who are offended by comedy are not right in the head.

I have lots of humor in my life thank you. If I want swearing and dirty jokes then I know where to go see them. I don't expect it on CBS. I am not offended by comedy.

The point you clearly missed, purposely I suspect, is that a 62- year old man making jokes about A-Rod knocking up a 14 year old girl is tasteless. He should have known better but didn't care because he hated Palin so much.

people talking about raping a 14 years old girl might also be seen as not right in the head. As are those people who think its fine. Just saying.

I don't want to get in a name calling thing with you even though its obvious you want to with me.

Letterman did NOT Joke about knocking up or raping a 14 year old. And the Butt of the jokes were NOT Palin's daughter, but were Elliot Spritzer and A-Fraud.

Letterman was the closest thing to The great Carson. Although I don't watch his show much anymore, with so many choices for what to watch, I'll miss him. It was a fantastic run.

If Conan O'Brien can get a talk show then there is hope for every living human being in the world to get one....Conan is not remotely funny.....

Johnny Carson is still the man that everyone gets compared to....

Nothing worth arguing here. I said initially I liked some of his stuff like the top 10 list, but thought his obvious liberal bias over the last few years turned me off. Jokes are jokes and during the Bush era he ripped him good and they were funny. I enjoyed them. Something changed in 2008. He got nasty and classless.

He was nothing close to Carson. No one is. Great run though. An American icon for sure.

Now here are two guys who know what's up. Conan is a tool, pure and simple. What's the deal with that hairdo?

Craig Ferguson is the best on the air right now. His monologues are great. All improvised on the spot. With Lettermans money I would of quit years ago.
