Alan's an old improviser ( Compass Players, precursor to Second City, with Ed Asner, Nichols & May, etc ), and Dave's a former stand up - so yeah, Alan's a bit P.O'd, but mostly he's doing a little improv comedy in keeping with the theme of the show, that is, "Show Business is B.S." … which Dave loves, so the two of them are needling each other, and Dave happens to love a good sparring partner.

Oh my god, I'm not alone! I'm really into comedy, various types of comedy, and Letterman is one of those guys that all the best comics and comedians respect and praise endlessly, and I just don't get it. At the best of times, he's snide and condescending in a way that's somewhat humorous (if he's interviewing somebody that's funny, but mostly it just makes me think he's a guy that thinks being a dick is in and of itself funny), but most of the time he's barely a passable straight man. It's kind of how I feel about SNL (yeah yeah yeah live and skit format is "hit or miss" but it seems like SNL even in it's hayday was mostly miss, nowadays it's straight trash), and yet all these really genius funny people treat SNL like it's the Holy Grail of comedy. But compare SNL to something like Key and Peele, and it's just no contest. Literally every single K&P skit is a hit, and their middle of the road skits rival the SNL classics. Yeah, it's not live, but still. I've seen countless live improv shows that blow SNL out of the water. I'm really starting to think it's not that I "just don't get it", but really when everybody starts praising something over and over it perpetuates itself and people convince itself it's more exceptional than it is. I guess this comment didn't merit such a ranty reply, but it's just so rare that I see other comedy fans who agree that Letterman is meh (SNL understandably has it's fair share of haters though). He was decent as a young man, but towards the end he just wasn't funny and was barely trying in my estimation, yet he was still treated like a God of comedy. That said, all of today's late night hosts (Conan being the exception IMO) are pretty godawful though, so I guess with that to compare it to Letterman is a genius.
