Well, Hakeem and Scottie Pippen at the time, plus Shaq and David Robinson would go on to win multiple titles. But, I did think that when WHM brought up Bird and Magic at various points during the podcast: Given that Looney Toons magic can turn Michael Jordan into Reed Richards, it could probably cure Magic and Bird's

It was quite weird hearing George Lucas impressions on a bad movie podcast that don't care about Sebulba, though.

The two things I think of whenever Space Jam comes up:

I think she's probably wrong on that judgment. I would guess that over the years most of the villains (and non Drew Barrymore love interests) in Sandler films don't end up in his cinematic troupe, just like they don't usually (Gene Hackman and Tom Hiddleston aside) stick around in different superhero sequels.

I'm still kind of amazed remembering the time he covered Neil Young's Like a Hurricane completely seriously on Letterman, and was not that bad at it: https://www.youtube.com/wat…

You can't judge what Cyndi Lauper did in the South Pacific. Shit was brutal. You weren't there! You don't know! *breaks down into sobs*

Everyone is saying "Ono this" and "Ono that". But no one is saying "Worship this" and "Jericho that".

A cover of the original by the gone far too soon Kirsty MacColl, who's actually the one who hits the "Baaaaaby!" on Ullman's recording.

I would totally watch Pinky and the Brain and Angel. Spin off that, whatever the WB is now!

So, he's the guy we have responsible for the deeply, deeply cringe worthy parts of the otherwise perfect For Your Eyes Only.

Man, the ending to How I Met Your Mother was perfect.

If you thought "Will if Float?" was amazing on TV, it was twice as good on radio. Often we didn't know if it floated or not. But in our heart of hearts, we knew.

I someday hope to be "objectionally brilliant."

I will say that as someone who missed the Late Night years, because I was -3 to 8 at the time, and only noticed the Late Show after Letterman stopped doing remotes and became deskbound, going back and seeing bits and special episodes from then I really do see the influence on Conan's Late Night.

This. I'll miss his presence, and his institutional memory. Seeing Robin Williams, however briefly, last night made me remember how late night reacted to his passing. Letterman was deeply sincere (as was Conan), telling stories about his friend and their time together. Fallon, as is his wont, did a Buzzfeed ready

Heh. They could do it like they do in college sports, where when they want to honor someone important but there's already someone famous on the stadium/arena, they name the field/court after them (hence Coach K Court at Cameron Indoor Stadium, Bobby Dodd Stadium at Grant Field, or, my favorite, Kansas' James Naismith

As I was watching the Taco Bell remote, I had the thought Kimmel is the closest descendant young asshole Dave, whereas Conan is a descended from his more absurdist, weird (while still puckish) comedic genius.

There was really a special aesthetic about both Letterman's and Conan's Late Night shows that seems to have been lost to both of them when they went 11:30, and disappeared after Lorne monopolized it as an SNL offshoot with Fallon and Meyers.

I think Raymond pretty much ended with a normal show.
