IMHO Letterman was the best of all. Carson and Leno are overrated. BTW, what recent event had Letterman, Kimmel and Fallon together on the same stage?

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.

I feel sorry for all of nay-sayers. You obviously don't get it. Oh well your loss.

Did the last show have his wife or child on it? I have seen a few pictures of his child but never his wife.

I like Letterman okay. But to belittle those that don't like him? Sheesh.

Yes Gracie, his wife and son were in the audience, and he introduced them. Pretty wife and cute little guy.

5 more days in Alaska. Just a quick non-roaming internet check while we're in Juneau. :)

I couldn't agree more. Paul Shafer is hard to take. I didn't watch Letterman when Leno was on, because I liked Leno...... But after Leno left, I started watching Letterman....Fallen occasionally, if he has someone on that I want to see. Fallen is immature (guessi I'm showing my age). Can't stand Conan!!!

Last nights Letterman show was ridiculous and boring. Looking forward to tonight's show though.

Agree with ya in all these points!

Recorded the final show, confirmed why I never watched it. He isn't funny most of the time
