Tuche’..... good riddance...
To see a guest on his show your first had to:
1. Endure his always unfunny monologue.
2. Ditto to the so called top ten list.
2. Toped off by his increasing bitter & nasty Lib attitude.
To be fair to Dave, there was no one funnier during his heyday in the ‘80s and ‘90s. He wasn’t the same after his heart attack. I think it made him arch and bitter, and I truly believe it is arch and bitter people who adopt the liberal line.
David Letterman is/was one of the (many) reasons I don’t watch TV.

I don’t really remember Steve Allen. I was a little mite when he was on late night. I do remember Jack Paar. He wasn’t bad. I have somewhere a book authored by Paar about the celebrities he met and the places he traveled to. Interesting and often funny read.
The proposition that the entire human race - consisting of enormous hordes of humanity - would be placed seriously in danger of a fiery eternity characterized by unspeakable torments purely because a man disobeyed a deity by eating a piece of fruit offered him by his wife is inherently incredible.
His endless blasphemy also includes:
The Bible has been interpreted to justify such evil practices as, for example, slavery, the slaughter of prisoners of war, the sadistic murders of women believed to be witches, capital punishment for hundreds of offenses, polygamy, and cruelty to animals. It has been used to encourage belief in the grossest superstition and to discourage the free teaching of scientific truths. We must never forget that both good and evil flow from the Bible. It is therefore not above criticism.
God is by definition the holder of all possible knowledge, it would be impossible for him to have faith in anything. Faith, then, is built upon ignorance and hope.
There is not the slightest question but that the God of the Old Testament is a jealous, vengeful God, inflicting not only on the sinful pagans but even on his Chosen People fire, lighting, hideous plagues and diseases, brimstone, and other curses.
Any and all liberals are not worth even the slightest of praise. They're simply evil beings. And yes, Steve Allen was indeed one of them, the anti-American commie elite of New York and Hollywood.
“Nah....Steve Allen beats them all...Schmock, Schmock!”
EXACTLY!!!
Carson cracked one too many jokes implying that Wayne Newton was queer. Newton marched into Carson's office and told him to knock it off or I kick your ass. Carson told no more Wayne Newton jokes after that.
Twenty years ago, Letterman actually had some measure of stroke in show business. But, he simply stayed too long to suit the changing tastes of his audience, and by the time the whole embarrassing episode he called a career was over, the poor sniveling bastard was reduced to asking his final audience to save some applause for his funeral. Such a pity.
Oh that’s heartbreaking to learn.
Oh well.
The leftist Letterman was always there, but never as blatant as over the past 15 years and his ratings proved it.
I attended one show live in 2003 when he pitched a bunch of softballs to Hillary and she put the crowd to sleep.

Good riddance.

Well, the difference being that Carson was funny. VERY funny. Shoot even the 80’s Letterman was reasonably funny. Last few decades, not so much.
Sorry FRiend but Jack Paar was in fact a very bad man. As a extreme liberal, he sought to tarnish the reputation of Conservative William F. Buckley. That alone makes him reprehensible. On top of that, Paar was rightly called "Fidel Casto's Buddy" by Conservative columnist Donald Rogers. As a leftist, he was likewise a weakling, as evidenced by his well-remembered girlish crying bouts on camera.
