Letterman has jumped the shark.
The recent bad jokes about Palin and her daughter shows that Letterman has jumped the shark. A term used to describe a TV shows beginning of the end. This usually corresponds to the point where a show with falling ratings apparently becomes more desperate to draw in viewers. In the process of undergoing these changes, the TV or movie series loses its original appeal. Shows that have "jumped the shark" are typically deemed to have passed their peak.
Face it if Letterman cannot or will not attack Obama or the Clintons so his show has lost the political satire that he used to do. So all he can do to appear current is make disgusting jokes about safe targets, like Palin and her daughter. The fact that he has to make vulgar disgusting comments shows that he has gotten to old and bitter, and lost his edge. To attack a 14 or even 18 year old girl with a cheap shot is just sad, and show he has nothing left. I don’t think that Letterman’s contract will be renewed, and he may be off the air in less than two years.
He has a new name: Lecherman

But I enjoyed the Happy Days shark stuff..
How funny is sexbigot Letterman’s partisan hate on the laffmeter? Flatlining....
Thanks! Keep the pressure on-in this economy companies are afraid to lose even ONE customer! Let’s send that gap-toothed slimeball PACKING!
I would actually say that Letterman began losing his edge around 2000. Since 2003...it’s fairly lame with maybe two jokes a night that actually work. His interviews? He really can’t carry out even a decent 3-star interview. My guess is that he heavily relies upon his staff to make the show work now. He will not touch any big-name Democrat...which is fairly obvious...and I would probably attribute that to the staff that works for him.
He appears to be of the mind of just going forward and trying to get mileage off this to propel him back up. My suggestion...we start a series of jokes...call them “Dave-jokes”, which are pitiful, bad and stupid. Here is my contribution:
David Letterman visits the doctor for a checkup, and after some tests, the doctor comes in with a grave look on his face.
Doctor: Well, I have some bad news and some really bad news.
David Letterman: Well, give me the really bad news first.
Doctor: You have cancer, and only 6 months to live.
David Letterman: And the bad news?
Doctor: You have Alzheimer’s disease.
David Letterman: That’s great. I was afraid I had cancer!
I readily admit it’s tasteless and a terrible joke. But unless Dave stands up and say’s its tasteless and admits that bad jokes are bad jokes...then this whole game will continue on.
Letterman reminds me of the strange man at the playground who doesn’t have any children with him.
Letterman reminds me of the strange man at the park who the pigeons won’t approach for bread crumbs.
Can we fire the audience or laugh track with Uncle Dave The Perv Letterman?
Letterman reminds me of the strange man in the park in a trench coat.
Letterman reminds me of the guy I once caught sneaking into the women’s dressing room.
Letterman regularly goes to Chuck E. Cheese. Without his son.
Exactly. He'd be better off showing reruns of his "show" prior to 2000! His ratings might even go up, and the dumb-down public will nary notice the difference (except that he looks a little younger and is a lot funnier). They'll just think he got his hair dyed and his face lifted.
Letterman reminds me of the guy with a raincoat at an elementary school, a bus-stop, your local diner, etc., who opens his coat to reveal his tiny, bent ....
Hopefully Letcherman, His Bow Wow Former Assistant/Mistress Now Wife and Their Former Bastard,Now Legitimate Son will be Finished in NYC in the next months and Move to their Ranch in Montana to be never seen or heard of again:-)
While the comment may appear caustic, it is only being accurate since Letcherman chose to ridicule the serious subject of sexual relations,child molestation, rape, sexual perverts, marriage and parenthood in rather disgusting terminology all in one depraved alleged diaribe Letcherman tried to camouflage as a sick “Joke!” Hopefully the Communist Broadcasting Slumdog Network will dump letcherman in the very near future. Even Conan O’Brien appears brilliantly Funny compared to Letcherman’s Sour Dour Mean Snarls,Belches and Faarits:-)
Weird how two butt-ugly people can produce a great looking kid sometimes, isn’t it?
All they'd probably need to do is dub in '0bama' for 'Clinton' and 'Larry Sinclair' for any bimbo that Clinton was raping at the time, and they'd be home free.
I would suggest a more appropriate spelling: LETCHERMAN, maybe even LETCHERMANN to give it the more accurate Hitlerist ring, seemingly appropriate for this depraved Individual:-(
Letterman reminds me of the shifty eyed children’s photographer - fired for saying “sex it up” to the kiddies.
Alot has been said on FR about Mrs. Letterman’s appearance.
I say - give the woman a break.
She has to wake up every day next to David Letterman.
I think it already has been renewed through 2012.
Letchermann: Too Dumb to get into College, so he becomes the CBS Intellectual along with Kati Colonic:-)
Note the Baggie Pants on Mrs. Letchermann, she looks positively Divine! almost as Beautiful as Mrs. OBOZO:-)
No Wonder Mr. Letchermann is Insanely Jealous and Bitter about OUR GORGEOUS SARAH PALIN and HER STUNNINGLY GORGEOUS FAMILY WHO ARE REAL PATRIOTIC AMERICANS!!!
Three more years of avoidance, if so...
I LOVE THAT JOKE! May I have your permission to reuse it?
> Weird how two butt-ugly people can produce a great looking kid sometimes, isn’t it?
The child in the picture is a “Courtesy Kid” they get to use while theirs is at the vet getting his shots.
I'm not going to give her a break. She married one of the most vile and disgusting louts in the entertainment industry. What's that say about her?
Compare her choice of husbands to Sarah Palin's. Speaks volumes, I'd say.
LOL!
Is that Dave’s wife?
Poor Letterman, trying to claw his way into history through insults.
It means nothing, and will mean nothing.
What a pathetic poor minded man.
It amazes me that people can still stomach Lecherman.
He was funny but heck that was 15 years ago.
He as sucked since.
Hopefully at my job I can completely suck for 15 years and still get paid.
I agree. His son is adorable. Wish my children were that age again!
I've still got a four year old (he's the baby), and yes, he's adorable. It only took me six times to finally get it perfect ;-)
I love all of 'em, but that one's my heart.
The joke about hoping Letterman dies of heart failure is a reference to the Wanda Sykes “joke” about hoping Rush’s kidneys fail and the fact that Letterman had a heart bypass a few years ago.
They want to play hardball, I say, “batter up!”
SIX!! Can’t imagine the work but it’s great having a large family. Your baby will always be your baby and tug at your heart.
> The joke about hoping Letterman dies of heart failure is a reference to the Wanda Sykes “joke” about hoping Rush’s kidneys fail and the fact that Letterman had a heart bypass a few years ago.
Ahh. I thought you were kidding, but you were serious.
Fair enough, but when you think it thru carefully, *everybody* dies of heart failure. Everyone, no matter what. Even if you jump into a hi-speed plastic shredder, or get eaten by a shark, or get blown to a million pieces by a grenade or vaporized by an atomic bomb, or get cooked in an instant by jumping into a vat of molten iron: you die of heart failure. Always and without fail.
So wishing David Letterman to die of heart failure is sorta pointless.
> They want to play hardball, I say, “batter up!”
If you want to play hardball with them, you’d be best wishing for a different demise for David Letterman, else he might die of laughter.
Just a thought...
Letterman “jumped the shark” after his show just moved from NBC to CBS, IMHO.
Since she presumably chooses to do this...perhaps we should be talking about her sanity, instead of just her homeliness...
contract will be renewed, and he may be off the air in less than two years
One can only hope.
