I was a Letterman devotee for years and years. I stopped watching partly because my hours changed to getting up earlier for work. Also I thought Dave got a little too mellow after his son was born and he got married. I liked his edge with the celebs, while I appreciated his more positive moments such as right after 9/11 and so forth.
I too will likely watch the last show, just for old times sake.

I agree that the last few years and esp since his retirement annoucement he was phoning it is... BUT...
The last month has been amazing. He has had guests on (his favorite people) who were there for him, not to pump their latest projects. And they showed nightly highlight reels of some of the best stuff over the years. It has been a blast. One night Jerry Seinfeld came out and did the EXACT routine he did 20 years ago on his first guest spot and it held up perfectly. And there was.... well anyway... I almost started a thread about how good it was, but I knew the "meat to the sharks" reaction it would get, so I didnt.

letterman has been washed up for years-even if you like him you cant argue the facts.
leno crushed him in the ratings for 20 years straight and he even came in 3rd enough times that he put up a billboard in new york trying to make fun of it-"yeah.we're number 3" or something and it made him just look stupid.
truth is the guy seemed more and more bitter as the years wore on and he never got to be the actual king of late night like his idol johnny carson.
mick has a sense of humor when people bash the stones,keith doesnt.the chances of you seeing them kiss the ring of a guy who's probably losing in the ratings to jimmy fallon-less than zero.
he's just another sucker the stones outlasted.
Lem you should have learned by now that ratings mean shit...

F the ratings. And by the way did Leno get a send off and reverence like what Dave is getting?

Wayne Newton threatening to punch Carson's teeth down his throat was not "the gays standing up for themselves," it is not in the history books next to Stonewall, etc. Carson stopped making Wayne Newton jokes, not gay jokes.

Oh ok, because I didnt even know Wayne was a gay, not that there is anything wrong with that.

It's got to be Bruce Springsteen. Macca or the Stones would be great but I assume it's a big American artist.
Also, I'm surprised I haven't seen Regis on yet. He must be the main guest on the last show.
