If they stay on long enough voices wont even matter. People will only have to mimic the original casts timing and a computer will alter the tenor of their voice to sound exactly like them the way we can put young Arnold in a terminator movie. Then there's literally no impediment.

"Like pretty much everyone else"

Yeah but get Synthia Sanders back in the picture. She was barely int he series but her interactions with the family were some of the best!

That set! Oh god, that thing was as uniquely New York as any of the landmarks themselves. If Colbert had any taste he'd have kept it and changed it over time to suit him. There will never be another late night tv set on the scale of Dave's final one.

I'm really tired of all the things I like going away now :(

Are you fucking woody allen? It's not meant to be examine dthat deeply poindexter. Fuck me.

No, her cultural "insights" are neither clever nor aggressive. They're dime store pseudo feminism, the kind that's ruined the chance to have honest discourse about equality in the United States because of its blatant misandrous undertones. She's not a rebel or a champion of equality. Claiming men rape isn't funny at a…

Half the problem with the late night comedy show is that, in the past, America was a better place. Our culture was more civil, more driven, more eager to do its best. Today's "talent" NEEDS Jimmy Fallons to slober over them because basically no one else is. Yesterdays stars were talented, today's stars do little on…

Dave was the last vestage of a different, now gone American media paradigm. With him retired a zeitgeist. There will be other greats, but what Letterman was, what the results of his creative talents were, is genuinely gone now. And I will miss it so sorely. It feels like my beloved uncle Dave has died.

Murray works on too many levels. I wonder how much of that was an in joke that only he and dave understand.

I know! Something about that set is so NYC it just makes me smell the metro and feel the winter winds whipping down the avenues.

They are a bastion of great musicianship in a world gone to t-total crap. I've never seen such a useless generation of musicians, with all apologies to the very few of you who actually write your own material and sing your own songs with an attempt at something other than a cookie cutter song structure and lazy…

It's funny how much those background "constants" mean to a life, how much value those familiar strangers can add to the flavor of their times. Familiarity is a precious gift we take for granted until it's been lost. There will again be new "good old days", but they wont be the same as these good old days, anymore than…

This is going to paint me as the sort of bored crumudgeon that many accuse Dave of, but I say it with all sincerity: Much of Dave's boredom has less to do with Dave, and more to do with the boring, mundane society we've settled for since the 90s. How does one get excited about today's flash in the pan, untalented…

I was born in 1981. For younger visitors to this comment, it's hard to explain how "important" television was to my generation. It's how we spread our cultural tropes, perpetuated our memes. It filled a need that rock music did in my parents' youth, and that the internet does today for you (and really all of us at…
