This wasn’t an interview, it was an aggressive compliment battle.

[ImKOs]

This was upper middle class dad pornography. Two old men, equally incapable of taking a compliment, who want to compliment each other. *wipes away tears* it's beautiful

[awwwyeaboyeeee]

Dave: I hate myself and I love you
Jerry: I love myself and I love you

[ceedubelu]

Jerry: David shut up and take my compliment!
David: Over my dead body, Jerry.

[stevewiggins]

I love watching Jerry have conversations with people. He's so genuine and has no tolerance for bullshit.

[love-hammer]

I like how 2 people complimenting each other felt more like an argument over a hot potato neither wants.

David Letterman in the early to mid-80s was such a huge source of inspiration in my life. I worked second shift at the time, and the highlight of my day was coming home to watch his show, laughing endlessly throughout. My life was so much better for it. Thank you, Dave!

The proof for Letterman is reality. Both Norm McDonald and Ray Romano, two great comedians, have expressed their great love for him and what he has done for them. He truly has made the world a better place through his television shows.

Did ya notice Dave squirm and shift around when Jerry was complimenting him.

The truth is that Letterman (particularly in the early years) did a great deal to discover and promote talent that had no other widely-seen outlet. A lot of people's careers were basically launched by appearances on his show. If for no other reason, viewers owe him a debt of gratitude. He was the only one not shoveling the same shit at us that the other talk shows promoted. Of course, of late that seems to have ceased, as he became the mainstream, and nobody has taken his place among the major talk show hosts in doing this. But it's no longer really required, as talent now has so many other outlets for gaining viewership.

“I hate my kids, let’s talk about them cuz NO ONE DOES THAT” original material

[eliasdotcamara]

“No you’re the best”

“No, YOU’RE the best”

“No you!...”

[sirbeerus]

It's like a freaking freestyle rap battle, but with kind words.

[redzen]

Letterman built like Santa's lawyer.

[RyanSurles]

Letterman was the only late night host that made me Laugh out Loud on a regular basis.

[tucowept]

Elvis had his fat years, Letterman his beard years.

[soundnessofmind]

Jerry likes to disagree..that's his thing

[mamudi]

This was a giant circlejerk and I loved it

[dennismcgowan]

Back when Letterman first came on the air was one of the best years of my life. I would walk my girlfriend home ( together 40 years now ) and my best friend would stop by after work. We would get stoned to bejesus, play Atari, watch him and then watch Monty python or Benny Hill . Great times. Thanks Bob Walsh; the nicest guy in the world.

Bush Compilations, Monica Lewinsky quips, Paul Schaffer & the CBS Orchestra, guests getting roasted, all brought to your screen by the one and only David Letterman! What more could anyone ask for? The Late Show with David Letterman blew all other talk shows out of the water! A legend who retired at his peak. Television is simply not the same without him.
