[@curiositypremiumaccount]

Before I watched the video the thing I was most intrigued by is what the dynamic would be like between Ernie and Letterman as they are both around the same age, have been funny TV hosts in their respected fields for longer than I've been alive, and both have a mid western old school, but enough new school to fit in well with most crowds vibe to them. If I didn't know them and someone told me they were brothers I would believe it, even if they don't look that much alike, but neither do so many brothers out there. Both great entertainers who know how to be stern and reel it in when it is needed c

I like the hockey rule. Just make it for one half court possession then the player can come back in. This might increase fastbreaks because then you can get the rebound then outlet it to the guy running in off the score table.

@@porfiriato84 This is nonsense. Not only did he not get pushed out, but he has done other fantastic shows since he left hosting. He wanted to leave, and not because of cancel culture. Because of the limitation of cable TV. He wanted to do more longform conversations with guests rather than 5 minute fake conversations like he used to do. And he did that. And there are plenty of fascinating conversations he had worth checking out. I wish people would stop feeding into this is hyperbole. It's lazy and dishonest. And cancel culture isn't real. Never has been. Name one person who was "canceled" who did nothing wrong. You're getting being canceled with being held accountable. Dave probably aligns completely opposite of you politically. And the fact that you think this is his first time back in front of a camera since he left his night show is hilarious.

Lettersman looks really great in retirement

[@HotdogJuice]

My two personal suggestions to improve the NBA: 1) Clean blocked shots are minus 1 point. 2) 3-2-3 Rule: No back to back 3 point value behind the three line except until the 4th period. A second consecutive basket will only value as 2 points. These two simple rules will incentivize and resuscitate defense and athleticism while adding value to closer post up input and big men playing organically. Both sides of the floor will be equally eventful.

Letterman is the absolute GOAT of tv show hosts.
