It's supposed to run 20 minutes late. We've set the DVR to go over.
Will watch it tomorrow night.

I know I'm in the minority, but I never got Letterman's appeal. I think I saw him do or say something funny maybe twice. He seemed kind of "absent" most of the time when he was interviewing people and to me never had the charm, certainly, of Johnny Carson, for example (dating myself, I know!)
I wish him well and all that, but that's about the extent of it. I won't miss him (blasphemy!)

Hi, I never thought that Dave was that funny. he was clever, not funny! All in all he was just an overgrown kid having fun with his guests!

Oh, c'mon. Watch this, his very first show with first guest Bill Murray: https://youtu.be/2PsRDBGOzn8 and tell me he's not an instinctively funny guy.

The only thing I liked was his Top Ten List.
As for the rest, I also share Susan's views.

Hi,
Bit ... I come from the Goons, Michael Bentine, High Comedy, Peter Cook and Dudley Moore, and a lot of English comedy. I even was not a Monty Python fan in the early days, albeit I have started to enjoy some of their stuff, but half of it is boring! Grimms were better. Eric Idle by himself even better. Neil Innes by himself superior ... With the Americans I love are Ernie Kovakz, Tom Lehrer, and Spike Jones, and Jonathan Winters. Dave Letterman is not a talented comedian like all these folks were that wrote most of their own material.
Dave is given a lot of accolades and credit because he was a cash-cow for the network that was making around 15 to 20 million dollars per week for the network, and that made him a "star". The media in America is merely honoring his ability to keep the audiences going with being silly and his slapstick comedy and now thanking him for bringing in the money!

Most of the new crop, and the current old crop of comedians they're replacing, I've never thought were all that funny compared to those that came before them. This includes Leno, Letterman, Kimmel, Conan, Fallon, etc. Oh well!
Time for all of you to head over to Beyond My DAW!

Letterman is like Dylan, Jim Morrison or Neil Young.
You either got him or you didn't.
As myolpal says, it takes all kinds to make a horse race.

I guess I'm 3 for 4. There is not a whole lot to get with Dave, I'm afraid.

I grew up with Letterman. He was always my favourite of the two. Always found him so much better than Leno. I don't think he was so much funny as he was entertaining to watch. Some of his jokes would make me laugh, especially in the 90s when he was more proactive in doing things like going out to the Hello Deli. He certainly slowed down over the past decade and I think that kinda hurt the appeal for the show. After watching the last week of shows (I don't have cable and haven't really seen late show in about 5 years), it was time for him to retire. His self-mockery humour seemed more bitter than light-hearted like it use to be. Maybe because he knew the show was ending but it seemed like he was just getting tired of it all over the past month. His jokes were also very dated I noticed but that's to be expected I guess.
The last show... I felt it could have been a lot better. Even his final signoff seemed quick and heartless to me rather than the emotional moment it should have been. Then the Foo Fighters were playing up till pretty much the last second and I was really worried they would end with just that. I hate that empty feeling of incompleteness when a huge event ends like that. They did show him from the back waving to the crowd but... meh. :\

Hi bapu- I definitely got Dylan, Jim Morrison and Neil Young, but not Letterman. Can't 'splain it. -Susan
