Re: Always Wondered Why David Letterman....

It's part of his persona. He supposedly received a lifetime supply of knee socks and he's so cheap that he won't buy what he can get for free.

(I have no idea if this is true, probably not.) But it's a joke that he's told a few times.

At least he wears socks! I don't get the no socks with dress shoes & pants.

I wondered if there was a story behind it. Wonder why they didn't gift him dark socks?

Because he has no taste.

Maybe it started with a joke one night when he was fighting a foot problem and then took on a life of its own. Stranger things have happened! After all, if the man wanted black socks, CBS would have provided them!

it wouldn't be David Letterman without his quirky socks. I'm going to miss him.

At least Letterman wears socks! Perhaps the new designer from Project Runway, Seth Aaron, should follow his lead! Not wearing socks especially with a suit is beyond tacky!

I have known two men who could no way wear colored socks. They said the dye color in the socks irritated their skin. They hated to wear plain white but had no choice.
