Letterman has jumped the shark.

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..

[Lizavetta]

Actually, he jumped THIS. Which may be worse.

How funny is sexbigot Letterman’s partisan hate on the laffmeter? Flatlining....

[Frank_2001]

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.

[Post Toasties]

Letterman reminds me of the strange man at the park who the pigeons won’t approach for bread crumbs.

[Pastelsbywelz]

Can we fire the audience or laugh track with Uncle Dave The Perv Letterman?

[Tarheel]

Letterman reminds me of the strange man in the park in a trench coat.

[Scotswife]

Letterman reminds me of the guy I once caught sneaking into the women’s dressing room.

[Scotswife]

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.

[Rembrandt]

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:-)

[Windflier]

Weird how two butt-ugly people can produce a great looking kid sometimes, isn’t it?

[Post Toasties]

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.

[True Republican Patriot]

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:-(
