[@hakim6158]

Letterman has this thing of just going to young talk shows and being encouraging. He did it with Jon Stewart and Conan in the 90s. Kimmel in the 2000s. And now the bodega boys and Busy Philips. He just goes on and heaps praise on the host so they'd feel legit and relax. He just cares about the artform.

[@TheGreenLanternB]

Hakim I was thinking the sameThing. He just seems like a fucking stand up dude

[@candyapu3]

Jon Stewart needs to come on here that would be amazing

[@Figs3]

Well Carson did it for him. And he does it for the next generation. He realizes that the talk show is bigger than one person. So Dave gives them notoriety and his wisdom. He just wants it to keep going and live on past him. Which I gotta say, I respect the hell out of...

The way you both played off David Letter, & Vice versa, was some of the best comedy I’ve seen in a long time, & my favs are Murphy, Gervais, Chappelle, Burr.

Letterman back in the day used to take huge swigs off of bottles that were clearly real as a joke and he was already identifying himself as an alcoholic. To me he just knew he could not drink daily. He was also a self professed huge pothead in the 80's after he quit drinking but stopped smoking weed because he would get bad case of the munchies and eat a gallon of ice cream in one sitting.

[@last808]

My roommate has been sober for over 10 years and sometimes we'll be at a show and she will buy me a drink. Which I actually think is a little weird. But yeah people drinking doesn't bother her. She just knows that if she drinks it'll be fucked up for her personally.
