Vicefan7777 Posted May 26, 2015 Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 I remember Dave first entertaining us while I was in college. Staying up late after watching Johnny. He totally change the rules of a talk show host and pushed to make us laugh with his ridiculous antics. Thank you Dave! Shit, I feel old. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COOPER&BURNETT Posted May 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 I loved watching Carson, the King of late night TV, but Letterman was a breath of fresh air, and did stupid, silly things, like man on the street things, stupid human and stupid dog tricks. He also, along with Robin Williams, was the fastest thinking comedian around. He was quick witted. He's not dead, just retired. I'm happy for him.

Vicefan7777 Posted May 26, 2015 Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 It was tough to see Dave go. But we have to accept his decision. After all even he deserves some peace and quiet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
