I never really liked Letterman, but really had no use for him after the affair with the intern broke. He was always the first one to make jokes and ridicule others for their mistakes, but hardly had any comments for his own indiscretions. And what really bothered me was that the other late night hosts also wouldn't make but a passing joke about Letterman's affair. It seemed to me, they all tried to forget it happened and sweep it under the rug, while crucifying others for the same thing.
Also, Letterman was more College humor? I remember watching when his "College" humor consisted of cutting each others ties in half on every show for awhile.
Finally, I couldn't stand Paul either, cringed every time he came on the screen. Loved Leno's "Headlines" and "Jaywalking" skits.
