The bottom line is that he's a hack. - Dignan May 29, 22:11 5
- To play devil's advocate, Letterman seems to spend a lot more time laughing at the joke he told 5 minutes ago, throwing over to Paul, callbacks... - Max May 29, 22:59
- For the last 5-6 years, Leno's jokes have consisted of how "fat" *wink wink* and "stupid" *nudge nudge* people are. He'll throw in the ocassional - Trish May 29, 22:27
- Safe = wider audience. I won't blame him for playing the numbers. -- nm - ? Redmond May 29, 22:17 1
  - Eh, safe is fine -- it obviously got him where he is. nm - Dignan May 29, 22:21
- And this isn't revelatory, but Leno used to be a fairly edgy comic. -- nm - Reagen May 29, 22:15
I think Dave comes across as arrogant as hell. Like he's bigger than the people he is interviewing. -- nm - ? Redmond May 29, 22:06 9
- That is why he is superior. - Spawn May 29, 22:07 8
  - Eh, it just makes me think he's an ass. I liked him better when he was humble. - ? Redmond May 29, 22:09 7
    - But see, Leno comes across as almost the sniveling kid to each guest, so glad you are here to see me... whatever I can do to make you look good... -- nm - Spawn May 29, 22:11 6
      - LOL, that's his job. They come on the show not to talk to Jay, but to promote shit. -- nm - ? Redmond May 29, 22:13 1
        
        That is the job that *he* chooses(/is forced maybe?) it to be. Just as Letterman chooses his, which is the one that I respect. -- nm - Spawn May 29, 22:20
      - wait till you see him at 10 o'clock! -- nm - dug May 29, 22:13 3
        
        I bet his guests will actually sit on a chair *on* his desk so he can kiss their asses easier. -- nm - Spawn May 29, 22:23 2
        
        If David Letterman was running late to his show, he would run you over with his car and blame you for getting it dirty with your blood. - ? Redmond May 29, 22:24 1
        
        You are finally coming around! - Spawn May 29, 22:25
I don't get any more snideness off him than any of the others, honestly. -- nm - loosiflu May 29, 22:05
