He was truly a genius! He was the funniest thing to hit television in my entire life. As a teen, I remember when he first showed up on TV with his morning show and then later with his late night show, feeling like I was really cool because I was a viewer, I was one of the cool kids because I watched Dave.
My brother watched the morning (Live) show and now I regret I never did. Steve Allen, who hosted The Tonight Show before Johnny Carson, started in daytime on NBC (I think).
In my area they came out at midnight which was way too late for me to stay up. So I would set my VCR to it, go to school come back, do my homework while watching Dave everyday. Then my mom would show up and say " hey! Did you record it? " so we'd rewatch it. Those were great days!
This could be why Dave didn't get the spot that Johnny Carson left instead Jay Leno go it. Maybe NBC prez got tired of Dave's crazy stunts who knows but that's my thought.
This wasn’t why at all. The company was divided over Dave, but, not because of these antics. Letterman also wanted full ownership of the Tonight Show, which NBC was not going to give him. The network was never looking to get rid of Dave. Ideally, they wanted to have both Leno and Letterman.
and ANOTHER THING.......if dave was so worried about moving up an hour, he shouldn't have named his show the late show! it was an EARLY show. we all know it. and HE knows it! don't disrespect the memory of Late Night by trying to pass his CBS show as a Late Show. late show my a$$!
You have to bring politics into this. You are the angry one, my friend. You just can't go 5 minutes without injecting your angry political views into a video about comedy. Your life must be really miserable.
All that analog equipment. What a memory.
They seemed upset. 🤣

You were one of the cool kids. Who’s your fav now?
No, you were NOT one of the cool kids. You were a dork like David.

That's not why.

Ok, waiting for Bryant gumbo accuses David of Sexual harassment?
Tom Green clearly stole so much of his shtick from Dave.
from steve allen.
Not funny! Wilfred Scott has the body of a 150 years young lady on his ledger.
Hilarious!
Back when Dave wasn’t pumping politics and was hilarious.
Making fun of Donnie Baloney while interviewing him on the show - that's probably "pumping politics" for trumpoids like yourself.

Ah yes when Letterman was actually funny and not a bitter angry liberal.
