With Every Failure, David...

I would imagine his comedy is not so subtly based on mocking hitler's oratory, considering his life experiences.

This is a clip from one of Letterman's early anniversary specials. I have the VHS. Nice! Brother Theodore was awesome

When Jay Leno succeeded Johnny Carson on "The Tongiht Show," David Letterman's own show basically "jumped the shark." Letterman, understably, had to compete with Leno's mainsteam approach, and so Letterman's show got less quirky, less funky, and less funny, like Leno's. Its really a shame.

Agree completely. Letterman's NBC show was irreverent, pioneering and about as delightfully off-kilter as any talk show has ever been. It ended there.

He was my favorite back in the day. I remember watching the 13 inch black and white Zenuth television in my dorm room at IU, and we would laugh. My aunt would always buy me Letterman stuff for my birthday or Xmas. When he sold out, I stopped watching and I cant recall the last time I watched... probably when I visit my parents. As far as Leno, I fail to comprehend why people watch his show. He is awkward at best.

When did he say "I am the bride at every funeral and the corpse at every wedding"-- that's his best line!

Hahahahaha no reason to get upset david's just going to change the subject anyway! lol

your he was funny in the Burbs!

I'm not sure how long my upload will stay on youtube but here is that episode:
