The audience are not in on the joke, the guest is not in on the joke, us watching at home and Dave are in on the joke. What an awesome show he had.

This is an aberration of the English language, as is using "insane" to connote "incredible/amazing/outstanding/exemplary/extraordinary/etc."

some say the amazing jumprope trio is still jumping, thus unlocking the secret fountain of youth: They are all still as young and still jumping rope :) *This is by far my favorite trick ever on his show

Letterman was the last classic late night talk show host. His successors are all pedestrian, juvenile, and political panderers.

You must've missed how he ripped into O'Reilly, as a wind bag, among many other "Goons". When W came on his show, he kept replaying his dumb acts.

He was at his best when he was on NBC. At some point in his career at CBS, he became a partisan political activist. I think it was around the time when he stopped being funny.

The three-in-one jump rope was a pure physical power feat. Well done. Now the 80-cigar-box-balance act was pure physical skill. Also well done. William Claude Dukenfield was also very good at prestidigitation and I would profess much better indeed.

That's what's wrong with the world, there's no more Letterman! We're expected to suffer thru late nite watching Jimmy Kimmel? Give me a break, the only thing his show's good for is a signal for me to start channel surfing! Kimmel and his show have no redeeming value to the late nite audience except to bore them to death.... 🙄

And don't forget about that smarmy twat Jimmy Fallon. I'd take lame Kimmel over Fallon, which isn't saying much at all. But Fallon is purely for teenage girls and 20-something millennials. Just the cheeseball musician impressions and silly ass games, it's like late night tv for kids and celebrity worshippers.
