Letterman's still funny and has always been funny. I hope that I'm that whip-smart and witty and "cool" when I'm 67/68. On his best day, Leno was never funnier and Letterman was never going to act like Kimmel (who idolizes Dave) or Lonnie Donnigan, because those guys are much younger than him.

Obama should have said something to Dave about when he was growing up in Kenya, he would stay up late at night plotting to overthrow American democracy and hoping to one day be a guest on the Late Show.
Two for two!

Surprised at the nearly complete lack of Regis on the tribute show.

The show needed to be at least 30mins longer.
It did show him as a weatherman. I didn't expect that.

Not happy that Will Ferrell doesn't look like he's going to get much or any time for his last visit.
It's great to get the President, but he doesn't need the whole damned show to talk policies.
Start the interview earlier than normal, give him two full segments and bring out the next guest.
It's not like they're probably going to be able to squeeze Will in somewhere else.
The cameo doesn't count.

I think they had Leno fly to NY and wear a hoodie or something into the building.

The tribute show was pretty damn great. It's going to be so weird having Letterman gone. The last of the classic hosts to go and the late night landscape as far as CBS and NBC go is looking pretty meh to me. I like Conan and Kimmel quite a bit so I'll watch them, but I doubt I'll watch Colbert as I've never been a huge fan of the guy.

Just back to my wife's family's house, what an amazing experience. Got in line to get my tickets at 1:45. Got my tickets about 30 minutes late. Ended up with red 73/74. We were the first group let in for the tapings. Got seated a little after 3:45 or so. Seated in the first full row right next to the band. Really shocked at how small the theater is.

Working my way throUgh my backlog of recent eps, thanks for the heads up on Reese , I'll fast forward that....
Enjoyed his Steve Martin segment...
The musical guests numbers have been a little underwhelming so far.. Hope they can all kick it up a notch the next two weeks....

Based on the preview for tonight's show it looks like Cher is stopping by. Hopefully, she'll call Dave an asshole one more time.

Martin Short was awesome. He should have been Dave's last guest.
And then Norah Jones comes on and sings a song about orgasms.

Now that was a final guest worthy of being a final guest.
Entertaining the entire time and what a killer song that was.
Rest in Peace Dave.
