Letterman used to rock. But here, I think the fact that Letterman had a show competing directly against Conan at this time, yet he went on to the detriment of his show to give Conan's show a much needed boost was a real stamp of approval.
Something the insecure weasel Leno never did to help Conan.
There is also another clip where Letterman goes on Stewart's last old show before it was cancelled, and gives Stewart really good advice and word... to me, that is THE Shit.
well, I was too young those days to watch letterman, also we didn't get those shows those days in India. I have no clue why leno did what he did, a real rat. Did you see that one where leno ripped a colbert joke?
Leno is really selfish. The term is narcissistic and sociopathic where you are only concerned with yourself, and disregard the feelings of others.
I did not see that but it doesn't surprise me one bit. Did you know that Leno doesn't have any comediens doing any sort of stand-up on his shows? Letterman still carries on that tradition bc that's how he and many others got discovered on Johnny's show.
It's also funny you mention that bc I am actually in the process of uploading a Letterman special that was on Primetime when he was really innovative (and why older-timers like me still have respect for Letterman), and in my description, describes Leno being known in the industry as a copy cat but doesn't credit anybody (there's a few clips of Howard Stern angry about that).
Once uploaded, I hope you can check out that Letterman special and let me know what you think.
@johnissoevil Audio of Gilbert Godfried speaking, reversed, slowed along with imagery of rotting baby seal carcasses attacked by clubbers while your banging a mallet on a squirrel monkey's brain w/the intent to eat it. ..is still a better experience than watching Leno...
@youartoyube Conan's. ..Ask him. Conan is awesome, but Dave is legendary. Allen = Chopan, Parr = Rachmaninov, Carson = Mozart, Letterman = Beethoven, O'Brien = Tchaikovsky, Leno = John Tesh when Yanni didn't show up. No diss to Conan...Tchaik's was the sha'dizzle ..But if ya [honestly] think Coco's better than Dave (In either's prime and/or even now), ya need to open your eyez...
@youartoyube In no parallel universe, in this real world where Conan only is successful by doing a very dumbed down, childish & 6th grader version of things Letterman was doing in the 80's. Have you seen Letterman in the 80's and 90's? Obviously not because then you would know that everything Conan has done and is doing was done with more wit, sarcasm, irreverence and rule breaking attitude by Letterman when Conan was in his dorm room in college taking notes and preparing to rip him off.
@cnelson1928 He does, he contributes material to the head writers, just like Conan. You don't really think Conan writes everything on the show, do you?
@cnelson1928 And you know why? Because Conan during that time basically did the show that Letterman did for years on NBC. You really do need to acquaint yourself with those old Letterman shows. I agree, Conan is great but absolutely nothing tops the level of creative inventiveness and flat-out funniness that was the old Letterman show.
stewart > conan >shit> leno
not a fan of letterman, but don't think he's shit either

Leno doesn't bc it's a threat to him.

@cactaceous obviously not, but during the writer's strike conan's show was the only one worth watching.
