I used to love Letterman but he doesn't have what he used to. He simply cannot compete with the others and hasn't in quite a few years.

It's time.

I use to look forward to his Top 10 lists.

He should have retired several years imo, some of his 'jokes' were past tasteless......

Was never on my Top Ten list of shows to watch, but his fans can look forward to a year of "Good Bye" shows and retrospectives.

Yeah, the top 10 lists aren't what they used to be. He did have a few good lines when he had the captions for the photos of Putin.

So did I. He has had some really good ones over the years.

Any ACTUAL info on who will replace him?

He's had a good, long run.

OT I do not know if you saw it, but I thank you for going to bat for "interesting" comment. I do appreciate it.

I wonder who will be replacing him too. Jimmy Fallon's show can be a real snoozefest just like Leno, so I still find that I channel surf back and forth. Whatever happened to Conan? I guess no one watches him at all anymore.

Perhaps Craig Ferguson will be next in line for the job. Maybe even Drew Carey.

I'd be up for that!

I actually miss Craig Kilborn. I thought he was very funny.

I'd love to see Craig Ferguson as a replacement if he got rid of the ""robot skeleton"" and pantomime horse gimmicks. Ferguson's opening monologue on his own is some of the most informed comedy on late-night.

Maybe Leno could replace him. Just kidding but I thought Letterman would have left after that fiasco when it came out he was hitting on the women on his staff and having affairs with them. I never looked at him in the same way again. And his show is stale now and in need of a replacement.....

So do I. It would be refreshing to see him resurface on tv.

You're right. I forgot about him.

I won't miss him at all. He's not funny and to me, comes across as a jerk. I watched briefly last night with him and Martha Stewart, and his "interview" was a joke.
