7. A Letterman taping?

Consider me envious.

When my wife and I were in New York (the only time we were in NY) about 15 years ago, we got in the standby line for the Conan O'Brien taping. We got tickets! But I can't even remember who a single guest was -- no "big names," for sure. What stood out to me most was how absolutely tiny the studio was. There couldn't have been more than 150 people in the audience at full capacity and it was cramped.

One thing I've always heard/read about the Ed Sullivan Theater is that Dave kept the studio very cool. Do you recall the chill?

And doesn't it boggle your mind how Oprah, a progressive individual, could have given a platform to Dr. Phil and Dr. Oz? They must have hidden their "asshole" vibes much better back then.

I feel the same way, I've already seen Dr. Phil which was a big disapointment Rhiannon12866 Aug 2025 #3

A Letterman taping? True Dough Aug 2025 #7

I feel very fortunate and Dave couldn't have been nicer or more welcoming Rhiannon12866 Aug 2025 #10

A more repulsive guest list than usual. (nt) Paladin Aug 2025 #2

And I'm sure his WNBA/green dildo joke mocking workplace sexual harassment will be an absolute knee-slapper. Xavier Breath Aug 2025 #9

As always, it'll be a pleasure, not watching him. (nt) Paladin Aug 2025 #13

Yes, his guest choices are shifting more and more rightward IMO. brush Aug 2025 #26

Sloppy seconds? Abolishinist Aug 2025 #27

So, merely seconding another's post is now considered engaging in 'sloppy seconds?' Xavier Breath Aug 2025 #31

Of course not, seconding another's post is fine. Abolishinist Aug 2025 #32

So where's the vitriol for Prairie Gates? Xavier Breath Aug 2025 #33

Zero sense? No, it's more an equation, if you will. Abolishinist Aug 2025 #34

I see. So, now I'm not only impervious to logic/reason, but I also have no life? Xavier Breath Aug 2025 #35

Where to begin. First of all, I'm glad you have a life, I never implied otherwise, only that I have one. Abolishinist Aug 2025 #36
