Steve Vader posted:Jesus Christ, Norm MacDonald is my favorite goddamned standup ever. I love his style of just demolishing every joke concept he offers. Telling the history of two World Wars in the weirdest, broadest strokes possible is just killing me. Shame about the 5-6 minutes of dad jokes you have to sit through before the decent part.

Tonight's SNL Vintage features (assuming it's not cut) Norm as Letterman from a 1997 episode.

One of my favorite bits he used to do was the fake guests. He had a good run of them around 2006 where he had one of the stagehands on several times as various people like an inept chef and a guy who had traveled the world. My favorite fake guest though was the crime scene investigator guy (played by a real actor, not a stagehand), since it really fooled me for a couple of minutes. Sadly I can't find any of the fake guests on Youtube, so if anyone happens to have show #2526 from March 15 2006 laying around I'd love to see it again.

I like how Dave jumping to CBS was prompted by Carson's wish for him to take over The Tonight Show not being honored, and then Letterman revealed recently that CBS didn't ask him for input as to who should take over The Late Show

Well it's not like anyone had seniority in this case. If Craig wanted to stick around I'm sure they might have asked about that.

CBS was so eager to get Letterman back in the early '90s that they gave Worldwide Pants ownership of The Late Show and later The Late Late Show, and over time they got less and less happy with that arrangement to the point that the final Letterman / Ferguson contract called for CBS to take over co-production of those shows. The new incarnations with Corden and Colbert are owned wholly by CBS.

My guess is that I don't think it was a coincidence that he announced his TDS retirement shortly after Rosewater. Honestly, I don't think hosting interests him anymore: filmmaking does. And based on the reaction to Rosewater, he might not be great at it but he doesn't exactly suck at it either. So it's viable to him.

Comedy Central certainly didn't, otherwise they would have chained Colbert and John Oliver to their chairs. quote:Honestly, I don't think hosting interests him anymore: filmmaking does. I don't think it's the "hosting" thing that doesn't interest him anymore. Reading between the lines in his interviews since his announcement, he just seems flat-out exhausted from having to be so cynical as a core part of his job five days a week. And I don't blame him; doing that for sixteen years or whatever has to be draining, and while he probably had the clout at CC to pivot the show if he he wanted to, he also understands that wouldn't be what viewers would expect from The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, so he stepped down before he got really miserable.

The new incarnations with Corden and Colbert are owned wholly by CBS. A big part of that was that NBC had the right to match any deal that any other network put to Dave. So CBS made him an insane deal that NBC would never dream of matching- including a $50 million payout if he did not have a show that aired on 11:35 PM EST, ownership of the show etc. They didn't put forth the most money in their offer- that was Fox- but they had to make it an insane contract so that NBC wouldn't take the deal.

I grew up watching The Late Show, and even though I fell out of habit of watching it years ago, I'll miss Dave. He was the Late Night crank of my heart.

Classy only that they'll have to cling onto a new legacy they themselves will have to create. I have zero hope for Seth and his crew to take that torch and run with it. There are people from the past that are spoken as legends... and then there is Seth Myers.

I was a fanatic Letterman fan of the NBC shows. I faded away when the CBS run started, I don't know why. I loved the old shows where they didn't use the studio. He waited at home for the cable guy. The few he did from the upstairs offices for various reasons. I think he did some from hotel rooms.
