Nice try at acting like Bill except Bill was funny.

What a hypocritical scum you are. You spent your money on Hannah Montana, and now you're acting like someone forced you to do it. You're exactly what these kind of comedians were talking about: a dumb idiot who needs someone else to tell him what to spend his money on, what to eat, to smoke or not to smoke, etc, because you're too dumb to run your own life.

@dagrimmreepa Dave can be a real genteman at times and this is one of those times. He even looks like he's choking up at the end.

The reason Bill's bit was pulled was because Letterman didn't want to piss of his Pro-Life advertisers that had commercial on that nights broadcast, it had nothing to do with the Hunt & Kill Billy Ray Cirrus bit.

Times were different in 1993. I'm not defending Letterman, but I was a young adult then, and I know that his jokes about killing pop stars and religion would have raised flags. The material seems quaint today, but we're talking almost 20 years ago. Bill Hicks was and is one of the great comic minds of the last 30 years, and Letterman did right by him by letting us see this, and accepting his role in what was a sad chapter. He didn't have to show it, much less have Bill's mother on, but he did.

RIP Bill Hicks...a comedic and philosophic genius

Obviously if Letterman had known Hicks was terminally ill he would not have cut his piece. It's network television, not Com Central...you can't just crack jokes about murdering pop stars on network television and have it aired. You guys who are giving Letterman shit are F#*CKING IDIOTS. This was what you call an unfortunate "misunderstanding" because Hicks did not disclose his terminal illness to Letterman and took a "I don't give a f*ck" approach to his bit. Hats off to Letterman...a gentleman
I don't see why y'all are complaining about David trying to right what he believes was a mistake he did. He didn't have to invite Bill's mom and apologize, he could have acted like nothing happened and carried on with his life. But he chose to man up and apologize, he caused a lot of pain and so he apologized frequently. He was being humble and admitting to his mistake. Way I see it: y'all are acting like bitches.

Fantastic Bill, you were great. Letterman is a slug. I don't buy his bull at all. Hicks was shining a light on our psychopathic world and Letterman helped the psychopaths who run everything keep the light out. Fuck you Letterman.
