When David Letterman cmae with a new show, I was excited. Then he started interviewing people who are subpar to him, because they are pouplar. I am talknig fdirst and foremost about Jay-Z. A ex drug dealer who is obsessed with the N-word. Letterman just sits there and takes it. Is this what the great Leterman has instore for us, then i´m not interested!

I always enjoyed interesting guests in the various late shows having a bit more time to tell an interesting story. However, even if they had the full 10 minutes, you felt like you were missing out as they had to be cut off after one or two anecdotes. Additionally, the ad breaks always disrupted the flow of the conversation and even if you decided to catch up the day after on YouTube, you'd have to search for all the various clips in the correct order to have seen it all.All of that is now gone. "My next guest needs no introduction" allows Letterman to do what he seemingly always wanted to do - just have an in-depth conversation with an interesting guest, but without any interruptions. You can tell he's enjoying this and he seems to be willing to make the most of this new format. In the first episode, we have already seen him put a lot of research into his guest, Barack Obama. Future episodes will show us whether Letterman will continue to put as much effort into his job as interviewer, but I have very high hopes and think this show will continue to be revealing and entertaining.Overall, I quite enjoyed the first episode and I have very high hopes for the episodes to come.

The Late Show was entertainment and variety.There would be a range of jokes and fun and a segment where a guest would be asked questions and promote themselves.That worked very well.Now consider just taking the talking bit and dragging it out for the whole show. But wait - and do it with the same old faces.That's what we have here.Amazon took some old guys and got them to do basically their same old show and it is much the same fun. This was sort of tedious, but could do with speeding up the chat to just the relevant bits and then add some fun.My vote is to bring back the Will It Float segment.Oh, and have a shave.

Maybe the best show Letterman have ever done. A rock solid start with Mr Obama. Well done Letterman and keep up the good work in the following episodes.
