Letterman beating Conan

[Top41]

Too bad some of YOU can't put DECENCY above politics. But, since your socialist friend Letterman is making this comment it's ok.

You're sickening and pathetic.

All I can say is, the next time a conservative makes some stupid and vile comment about someone's kid (I doubt it will happen -- but SHOULD it...)-- I'll expect tolerance and understanding from you!

Idiots!!!

OK, this is going too far--you're entitled to your opinion, but calling others "sickening" and "pathetic" and "idiots" is crossing the line. Warning for flaming.

Let's try to get this thread back on topic. Thanks!

I wonder how many people had to be told after the fact which daughter Letterman was referring to before being outraged?

I really wonder if the synapses of some the brains in this thread even fire.

WILLOW was on the NY trip with Sarah Palin -- not BRISTOL! Ergo the comment about A NEW YORK BALL PLAYER engaging in statutory rape of minor. DAMN...what part of that is so hard to understand. You're just being obtuse.

It has NOTHING to do with confusion or any other bullshit excuse!

Letterman is scum and so are any of you condoning his so-called "joke". Whether we're talking about Palin or even a private citizen -- or one of your siblings -- it's irrelevant. The comments were disgusting and vile.

Letterman should be punished as all conservatives who get called on the SLIGHTEST comment are punished within the STATE OBAMA MEDIA (and don't...don't even presume to tell me the media is not biased. You've lost your minds if you think otherwise!).

No wonder Letterman thinks he can joke his way out of this. I guess people really are as stupid as he thinks they are.

Regardless, for every perceived comment from a conservative that "offends" I can think of TWO (at least) from every socialist to match.

So much for putting decency above politics

Have you guys heard about how supporters of Sarah Palin want David Letterman fired? Complete insanity if you ask me.

 

[bigdaddy]

Does she realize that he is about to sign a deal, which he should.

And Palin is a terrorist fucker who needs to shut her mouth and keep popping the children out.

 

[Chess Piece Face]

And if you have even seen what Dave actually said or his apology then you don't have a right to comment on it.

Why doesn't he have a right to comment on what he saw?

Meant to type "haven't even seen". Sorry.

 

[The Evil Dead]

Palin is anti-Conan and this is all a scheme to up Letterman's ratings.

You need serious help. You are truly demented.

And you must be an Obama supporter -- that automatically makes you a TERRORIST (Bill Ayers/Weather Underground) supporter by proxy.

Well, when you're "rolling in the mud with pigs -- you're going to get some mud on you".

This really isn't on topic for this forum and is more suited to TNZ. Let's take it there--I'd like to see this thread back on topic about Conan vs. Letterman...not Letterman vs. Palin. If it doesn't get back on topic--and get more civil--I'm going to have to close it.

You're on a roll... another warning for flaming. Seriously, buddy, there's a place to discuss this stuff in this incendiary manner--TNZ. Stop bringing it to GTV&M, where you're just going to get warned.

Between Conan and Letterman, I'm a huge Conan fan. He's off to a rocky start, but you have to remember he's going to bring his own flavor to the table and it's going to take time for those who only watched Leno to get a feel for it. Conan will surge ahead.

Letterman has now given a full apology to Governor Palin and her family, saying in part, "I understand, of course, why people are upset; I would be upset myself. I’m sorry about it and I’ll try to do better in the future."

You can read a full account of his apology here.

I used to be a huge David Letterman fan. The 1st episode of Late Show with David Letterman was one of the biggest TV moments of the early 1990s in my household. (Right up there next to the final episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation.) But I think he's just been resting on his laurels for the last decade or so. Other than the occasional Top 10 List, he's just not funny anymore.

IMO, Conan O'Brien has been the true king of late night for many many years now. He brings a kind of genius insanity and an expert timing to his entire show from start to finish. Unfortunately, I think he's lost some momentum since moving to the Tonight Show. I'm hoping that just comes from getting used to the new set & new city. I'm hoping he'll soon bring back some of the quirkier bits--like the Chuck Norris lever and Pierre Bernard's Recliner of Rage--if he hasn't already.

Still I have a nagging voice in the back of my head. That voice is the voice of Jerry Seinfeld. He once said that every year a person spends in New York he gets funnier while every year he spends in L.A. he gets less funny. I'm hoping that's not true of Conan.

I will try to catch Conan tonight, but I have to say that Leno had trouble in his first couple of years too.

True. But at that point, Leno hadn't already been hosting his own talk show for 16 years.

I accidentally watched part of Fallon last week, and I was amazed at how much I liked the bit. They had Mark Paul Gosselaar on, but he wasn't the actor; the guest was Zach Morris from Saved By The Bell.

Of course, the above had about zero to do with Fallon; Gosselaar is the one who pulled it off. But in any case, I thought it was a great segment.

Fuck! Doesn't that kid EVER age!?

I've watched the first week of Conan just to see how he did and it wasn't bad. I typically don't watch the late night shows (Not even Colbert or Stewart other than in passing) just because they are really daytime talk shows at night. Letterman just comes across as a grumpy old man sometimes too, even though I sometimes watch. All that late night stuff though is something I never got into on a regular basis. It's pretty much an occasional thing with me.

 

[Amaris]

I watched it too, and no, no he doesn't.

[Hoser]

I used to be a huge David Letterman fan.

I did too. A few years back my schedule shifted and I was on later more, so I watched Conan more. I got back to Dave recently because well....digital took out NBC.
I can't say I laughed as much as when I watch Conan or Ferguson, but I still really like the guy. I saw the ep where he made his joke, and I didn't take it the way it's been taken. IMHO Dave's been classy, period, the way he acted during the writer's strike and beyond....and the way he's apologized over and over for this, even though IMHO he shouldn't have to.

 

[Amaris]

I just don't find Dave's Top 10 to be funny anymore. I still like the guy, but he seems to be tired.

He was wearing about fifty coats of make-up in that clip.

Conan is so stupid, not funny that I think David Letterman will continue to beat Conan in the ratings. This will be first time that The Tonight Show has not won it's time shot. NBC made a real bad decision to put a stupid guy like Conan in a 11:30 pm time slot. Jay Leno said has a joke that NBC since currently the thrid network, might not be around for his new show to air in September, you know that might that might not be to far from truth after all.

Conan's ratings are going to kick ass and take names ahead of Letterman. It's only a matter of time.
