Adam Carolla is very conservative and very funny.

(He and Jimmy Kimmel co-hosted The Man Show for a few years about a decade ago)

If only he’d retired 30 years ago. Replace him with Leno.

Jimmy Fallon must be destroying him in the ratings I think Jimmy Fallon is very funny and entertaining even though he kinda swoons over the Dem politicians. His band could stand to be a little more diverse also. I’m still a little pissed over the way they treated Michelle Bachman. :(

Replace him with Leno.

Could happen only if SOMEONE at CBS-TV or Worldwide Unzipped Fly found a brain and a FReeper who could show them how to use it.

The only thing worth watching on Letterman’s show was Johnny Carson’s final TV appearance. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E9i6A6LGwa4

I still remember the show when Letterman admitted to having improper sexual relationships with staff.

It was a shocking admission, but, I remember the audience cheered and laughed at that. It made me think, wow, his audience has no morals, no sense of decency, that even what was supposed to be a serious solemn admission of wrongdoing is greeted by the audience as if it is comedy.

Just damn.

Here I had my bucket list schedule to watch an entire Late Show with DL in 2016.

Now what am I going to do?

How can I die without ever sitting through an entire Late Show with DL.

When Letterman came on way back in the day after Carson I tried watching him. I never thought he was funny, he was just way too eclectic.
How he has lasted all these years is a true mystery.
The other thing I never understood was that Johnny Carson at one point wanted Letterman to replace him and NBC to their credit said no.
Go figure!!!!!!!!!!LOL

So did Dick Cavett. The most incredibly unfunny funny man I ever saw on TV. Cerebral, and all that, ya know. Sure.

From the way he engages with people on twitter I would suggest that if Sajak did another late night talk show, it should be a call in show. He feeds off the public quite well.
