Letterman's Writers - On Getting Hired To Write Comedy (Paley Center, 2007)

[damens]

The Lettermen Show has the worst least funny writers in "Chat Show" history - by a LONG way !!

It isn't a horrible show now, but I agree the writers are just LAZY. Dave is still funny. He's still quick. It's just the comedy bits are lame because his writers don't do jack shit, and I doubt Dave puts much thought into the bits anymore because he's kind of gotten to a point where I think he doesn't make the show his entire life anymore. He really does need a new writing staff though.

letterman show USED to be good--when he was in a smaller studio ...now its simply too painful to watch.

And Bill Scheft used to be interviewed (on the radio, over the phone and quite often) on the Bob and Tom Show and man, it just bored me to tears.

But yes i agree that Letterman himself is amusing, but his show sucKs, it sucks outloud.
