I have always enjoyed watching "Late Show" with David Letterman. I loved to stay up and watch the Top Ten List even when Dave was on NBC. I always appreciated dropping fruit and frozen turkeys from the rooftops of New York City onto Broadway. Dave does not dress up in velcro suits and fling himself against a wall anymore or wear a fire suit covered in marshmellows and have his staff toast him. Over the years his crazy antics have been replaced by consistency. As stated in a recent Rolling Stone article, Jason Gay in an cover interview had the following comment, "I recently when back and watched the show you did after September 11th. That show was highly praised, but it was really unnerving, very raw and took you right back to the very difficult time."
Dave has over the years has changed from wacky late night guy to the voice of america. The "Late Show" host had some very strong and direct comments for John McCain last night. McCain had announced that he suspended his campain to focus on the Economic crisis and cancelled his appearane on Dave's show at the last possible moment. However, instead of rushing to DC, McCain stayed in New York for the night. Listen to Dave's 10 minute sharp, witty and direct commentary.
