David Letterman Gives A Special Top 10 List For The Late Show‘s 18th Anniversary

video
» 26 comments

The Late Show with David Letterman has been on CBS for 18 whole years! That’s longer than most CW stars have been alive!* And that doesn’t even count the 12 or so years Letterman spent on the other network! So, last night, the host gave a special anniversary Top 10 List. And, in case you’re worried that it got all sentimental and treacly, I’ll just point out that the first on the list of “Ways Dave Celebrated his 18th Anniversary ” was “Got a lovely bouquet from the guy who wants to cut my tongue out.”

*Just kidding. Everyone on Gossip Girl is secretly 47. Or a robot.

It was a fun segment and even featured a funny cameo from the night’s guest Alec Baldwin who, maybe it’s just me but, totally looks like he’s dropped from his “TV Star” weight all the way to his “Movie Star” weight recently. Good for him!

Oh, and good for David Letterman and all his staff! Happy anniversary!

Watch the clip from CBS below:

    Letterman is a dusty, fetid old fossil who hasn’t had a decent show since Sarah Brightman & Lloyd Webber appeared there back in the early 90′s. Or was it the 80′s?

    Can’t wait for Al Queda to keep their promise regarding half-wit Letterman.

  • I feel old now

    That 12:30 Letterman show was great. Man that was a long time ago.

    dave, just do the top 1000 reasons why you should be canceled.

  • Redleaf

    If Dave were a conservative, I’d like him.
    But he’s a liberal, so he’s not funny. 

    I decide what comics, singers and actors I like based on their political views. If an artist I like makes a pro-liberal comment, I stop liking them (see Letterman, many years ago). If an artist I don’t like makes a pro-conservative comment, I will then like them (see Tom Selleck, who does lots of great made-for-cable movies).

    If an artist wants my support, they have to support conservative causes. All other artists are hack liberal losers and a blight on the creative community.

    How about the ” Top Ten ” interns the disgusting pig made sleep with him to work on his show.

    You are missing out on a lot of real talented people.  I would never base my appreciation for one’s talent on whether they were a democrat, a republican or whether they were straight, gay or black or white.

    It is sad to see such “prejudice” even in evaluating art and talent.  And yes, I even like Tom Selleck but I don’t agree with his politics.  but I don’t have to.

    Stop being so self-righteous. How many times have Sean Penn or George Clooney or David Letterman been mentioned in a mediaite story and immediately the artist gets destroyed and called a loser who should retire. I’m just saying what you’re all thinking.

    There is no bigotry like lib homophobia.

    You need to wipe your chin; Obama left some.

    You must have  a terribly empty feeling… in your skull?

    I like Clint Eastwood for example when he is playing a roll but i wouldn’t boycott him because he is a conservative. the two things are not and should not be connected if there is no politics involed.

    Do you kiss your mother with that mouth, STONEPARK? That mouth which has spent all
    morning suckling on the naughty bits of your sister’s pet spaniel, you
    disgusting pervert? Oh… pardon me sir, I do apologize! I really don’t know
    where that came from!
