checking in with letterman


report card -

dave takes applause and adulation for 2 minutes.... finally he starts telling jokes -- none of them are memorable but neither unpleasant -- if he is indeed recruiting his writers from back alleys as they pick their lunches out of trash dumpsters then more power to him

then dave starts going all obscure and lame, kind of mumbling like about some dumb thing somewhere in america, like that groundhog that predicts the weather except stupid and lame (unlike the groundhog).......

then he starts telling some funny jokes, thank God for that and you start wondering if he's recruiting writers from homeless shelters or what, whatever he's doing to recruit writers, it's working because he's saying something funny

where's the old people's home? big red forgot his Pokemon!


then there's one of these kooky funny segments internal gps, george w is there and then the crown jewel of the show is some guy explaining how he was kidnapped at gunpoint twice with his bro and that it was horrific and then the 20/20 guy is all surprised and says, 'horrific, how?'......... clearly dave's writers had some healthy protein and carbs and even some vitamins in their bellies when they unearthed that jewel

then dave gets some first generation south carolinian comedian whose parents are from india -- the guy is quite amusing

then there's some scene with big red --- his potential is being wasted, he used to be a lady's man kind of guy but now he's just angry --- how can you solve a problem like big red? you can try singing that in tune with the song from the sound of music.........clearly his potential needs tapping -- my advice would be to send him to some nursing homes for the elderly...... even if you don't show the clips, the effort will pay dividends in terms of getting him to do something funny or just deciding to leave him there permanently

speaking of grandpas, some old guy miraculously makes it to dave's bench without a wheelchair..... if you weren't born before 1924 forget about even understanding what he's talking about, pistachio nuts in idaho or something, no idea, maybe he was talking about frank sinatra

remember when americans were brash and rude and obnoxious but at the same time right about reminding people that their country doesn't have real doctors or hospitals and stuff like that? there was none of that........ they need to start mocking some inferior nation -- just throw a dart at a map of the world and get cracking: YOU NEED TO START HAZING THE REST OF THE WORLD BITCHES AND MAKE ME LAUGH

here look at this eurovision from 1984 - finland's entry:

enough said, OK, these finns aren't even trying to be funny, they're just being themselves.... you're work is cut out for you, go to it

actually i really like that finnish song, it's the only eurovision song worth listening to, great song


C'mon let's boogie

Twenty-five past ten tonight
We missed the only late-night train, but that's all right
After dawn, at six o-five, the morning train's due to arrive
 
C'mon, let's boogie, mama, dance around
We're jamming all night long
C'mon, let's boogie, mama, move around
This beat will go on and on
 
But don't you worry if trains don't come
They ain't gonna hurry, we got fun
Life is like a choo-choo, always there to take you to
 
Two o'clock, the night is blue
And no one in the station hall, just me and you
All is gone, there's nothing to lose
Get up, so still, let's blow a fuse
 
C'mon, let's boogie, mama, dance around
We're jamming all night long
C'mon, let's boogie, mama, move around
This beat will go on and on
 
But don't you worry if trains don't come
They ain't gonna hurry, we got fun
Life is like a choo-choo, always there to take you to
 
Six o'clock, no trains you see
We missed it like the one before, but c'est la vie
Thanks a lot, we laugh and cry
We wanna get this feeling up high
 
C'mon, let's boogie, mama, dance around
C'mon, let's boogie, mama, move around
 
C'mon, let's boogie, mama, dance around
We're jamming all night long
C'mon, let's boogie, mama, move around
This beat will go on and on
 
This beat will go on and on
