Ever since Leno won the Tonight Show gig, Letterman has really become bitter. Leno even talked about this at length, and invited Letterman on his show to patch things up. For me, I honestly don’t know what the big deal is. It’s just a friggin’ show. Letterman got his own show with CBS that was still just as popular with Leno (especially with CBS’s popular shows leading-in) and he still makes millions of dollars. It’s just sad what Letterman has become. Growing up in the 80s, you just wanted to stay up and watch him, he had the mousy curly hair and the warm smile, kind of looked like a little kid at times. C’est la vie.

UPDATE: Looks like the New York Times is doing their part to provide a little cover for their buddy Dave. That joke was mysteriously excluded from this transcript of his monologue from Monday night, as posted at the Times' Laugh Lines blog. (hat tip to Caleb Howe)

I’d love to have letterman in a boxing ring for about 10 minutes without the gloves.

It would only take 2-seconds..

Some things, like fine whiskey, should be savored.

Yeah but I thought the additional time might be good therapy for the both of us.

I will never, ever, be accused of inhabiting Sarah's rah-rah corner, but this is really over the top. Letterman is simply a big @ss. BTW, Dave, Sarah's look is best characterized as “naughty librarian.”

Put Letterman in a room alone with Todd Palin...and watch the liberal shiite himself and cry for his mommy.

This is a sick testimony to what entertains the American people. Did ya hear them laugh and applaud? It’s not Letterman, it is the people, incidentally, where is ARod on this? A statement from him condeming this would be nice. How about the advertisers, do they think this is ok?

I listened to Letterman do the top ten reasons...he was clueless...just reading the script...some scumbag hollywood writer wrote the script.

He is an adiot, nevertheless

To be funny it has to have an element of truth.

I could never really stand Letterman simply because he has never done satirical humor, i.e., taking an element of truth and stretching it. His brand has always been ridicule which I don't find to be funny. He typically stoops to cruel mockery as opposed to good natured spoofing.
