It's a late night talk show, either you like it or you don't. I don't care for it either way 🤷‍♀️

Letterman didn’t invent the late night show, but he perfected it.

There's a lot to like, and some stuff not to like as much.

Letterman satirized late night TV & mocked some of his oddball guests without their realizing it. Often seemed like one long mockumentary.

Letterman’s run on NBC was inventive, irreverent, creative, and ironic in a way TV hadn’t seen before. Comedy nerds should watch highlights.

David Letterman uses mature humor to appeal to his audience in this weeknight series, which gets its music from a house band led by Paul Shaffer.
