Wow, never thought I'd review a talk show but.. Jay Leno isn't that great, guys. If you've watched Jay Leno instead of David Letterman, watch David Letterman. He's just the best talk show ever. He's funny, smart, and brings great guests onto the show. Almost all of them I like and know.I heard that he was fired from his other show because Jay Leno took over so he started this show because he was angry at Leno and wanted to compete. Well, hes competing and winning. I don't really know much what to say because this is just a talk show so.. Yeah.I don't David Letterman ever takes a break. He has done the show since 1993 and is still keeping the spirit of doing talk shows and entertaining everyone. What I think was my favorite guest he did was probably Madonna when she was cussing. Although, It was probably in his other show but that was just funny. What I thought was the worst was the one with Marilyn Manson. David Letterman looked so bored and stressed because Marilyn was just so uninteresting.

Dave had one of his worst interviews ever last night with Bill O'Reilly. Dave came across looking foolish and uneducated when trying to debate Bill. He was also extremely rude to Bill. He told Bill that he believes "60% of what Bill says is crap" but then admitted he never watches or listens to Bill's shows!! Dave has become an extreme left-winger in his political views, but can't seem to come around and admit it. Notice how he is never rude to his extreme left-wing guests like Al Franken....only to conservatives like Bill O'Reilly! Dave....stick to comedy. When you try and debate people like Bill O'Reilly it becomes obvious that you're "not the brightest bulb on the circuit!"

I have been a big Letterman fan for years. I would tape shows when I was only 13, never missed a show. I agree that Letterman had his years where you could tell he felt like a failure and didn't put much into it. But I will add that he is much more real than Jay Leno. Jay Leno is your typical phony talk show host. You really saw how real Dave is if you saw his show on January 31, 2005 remembering Johnny Carson. I saw both his and Leno's shows on Johnny. Jay seemed much more scripted and fake. This was probably due to how the death of Johnny Carson hit the two, being that Dave was close with Johnny. (Johnny even wrote jokes in retirement and sent them to Dave to use). I have noticed lately that Dave's comedy is turning back around to the old Dave. Hopefully he realizes that he is appreciated and keeps up the turn around!

It is inevitable that the "Late Show" will forever be compared with the "Tonight Show." That Letterman was snubbed as a possible replacement for Johnny Carson back in 1992 is just another indication that Letterman was not well liked. I am a fan of Leno and "Tonight", but I wouldn't watch Letterman and "Late Show" even if "Tonight" were not on.However, I have watched a few episodes over the years, either out of curiosity or because Leno was a re-run. I have never -- repeat never -- enjoyed Letterman or one of his shows. He comes across as too smug, too self-centered, as if he were God's gift to comedy, but not funny. I don't doubt that he has many, many fans, but I am not one of them. I simply do not find his brand of "humor" enjoyable.I recall one year he was hosting an awards show, maybe even the Oscars. Trying to be funny, he attempted to make a joke out of the names of Oprah Winfrey and Uma Thurman, by introducing them to each other, "Oprah, Uma ... Uma, Orpah." It didn't work on the live audience, it didn't work on the TV audience. That's just one example why I view David Letterman as one of the least watchable personalities on TV.
