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!

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.
