Oh, and you know what I love? The "Is This Something" sketch that they do. One time it was a woman who ate fire while scantily clad. They agreed that was "something".

oh, curtie. It wasn't the best one, but there was some funny skits...
I think Letterman is medium funny. To me he's no Conan or Craig Kilborn...

Why is it if you are called a comedian, you are not funny? Last Comic Standing proved that.
.

. It's so hard to please some of you people. I thought some of those comics were HILARIOUS. That Alanzo Boden, the black guy from season 2 is equally as funny as professional comdedians. That Italian Woman was great too. And from season 1, I loved fat Ralphie May, Dave Mordell, Rich Vos, and that woman from the final 5.

I mean, seriously. How many sterotypical jokes about your family can one person make? Comedy is an old hat anymore. BLAND.

I think most of Letterman's top ten lists are hilarious but that's just me.

Not to be mean or anything but did you expect him to live forever?
My condolences to his family.

That was (and rightfully so, IMO) Letterman.

I generally like his dry wit, but not at the Oscars... Uma and Oprah... Oprah and Uma he made longer an already unending night.

That goes without saying. He was bloody awful.

But just imagine if it had been Leno.

What a scary thought. Hopefully Academy would never do such a thing to an harmless audience.

I think his standup is *often* funny. Doesn't necessarily mean he'll be a good host, though...

Oh yeah his stand up is superb, but it doesn't always mean he'll be a good host. The Blue Collar Comedy Tour and it's sequel is the funniest 2 hours I've ever witnessed and caused my stomach great pain, but it didn't mean they're Blue Collar TV was any good.
