Last Tuesday Night, I think it was, Letterman made one of his usual jokes about bush. Bush Invigorating America's Youth: http://www.k10k.net/dropbox/AmericasYouth.rm was so funny that CNN picked it up. Right after they aired it, however, the White House told them that it was faked.
Here is Letterman's Rebuttal:

Letterman has the best musical guests and is a lot funnier than that idiot Pundit Leno.

tehe...i heard about that. Letterman than thought that it was the white house having a fit about it, when it was cnn who really fucked up on it. I guess the anchorwoman apologized to letterman later on.
I love letterman, hes the fucking man. Leno just doesnt compare.
I don't like either.
Conan is the best :cool:

Conan is indeed the king. It sucks people have to drag through Leno just to get to Late night with Conan. They should switch time slots.

Letterman is far funnier than either conan or Leno, sorry.
Leno is totally unfuny.
Conan is ok, but after the Canada thing his show doen't really appeal to me.

Life must be rough being that uptight. Seriously man, you would deny yourself something you find funny just because the guy made a harmless joke about French Canadians ? Simply amazing.
I really despise the Canadian Govt. for hassling Conan. It was a funny joke.

I thought it was a pretty tasteless joke.
And I don't deny myself the right to watch it, trust me. It isn't as if I made a concious decision to boycott Conan. It's just that I see an ass-hole whenever I see that man, that's all. There are plenty of other good shows on TV, it's not like I sit there bored refusing to let myself indulge in the forbiden TV show.
I wouldn't call other people uptight, man. You're the one who goes completely insane and insult every thing you can think of whenever someone chalenges you.
Here's a pretty recent example:
You ingorant little bastard. So it's O.K for you to bang any woman you see but a girl who wishes to please herself and has sex is unworthy of your company ? Fuck that sexist bullshit. You must really be a sexist, because I rarely put these kinds of labels on people. Fuck you.
You just need to chill, man. :unsure:

Letterman is funny because he relies on some old-school shit.
Conan is more of a wacky comedian.
both work well, though.
Leno appeals to people with IQ's less than 110.

All those American comedians are reactionaries.
Larry David is the man for me. Give Larry his own chat show.

I think Jon Stuart deserves a mention. His material is great and hysterical, his delivery is good too. Not as good as Letterman, though.
Not really the same kind of show, but the German fella from Wanderlust is fucking briliant. Anyone ever see that show? It's on Comedy central from time to time.
EDIT: his name is Gerhard Reinke.
There is one episode in which he is in the Andes and gets captured by 'A real Marxist guerrilla'. :lol:

I never said you made a concious decision to boycott. What I said is that it must be rough, anyone who makes a joke you don't agree with is labeled an "asshole" or a "sexist" or a "racist". Whether you like it or not, what Conan said was a pure joke and he did not mean to piss people off. The fact that you think French Canadians are an "oppressed minority" shows how far off the deep end you really are. I don't consider being the butt of a few jokes to be "oppression".
I wouldn't call other people uptight, man. You're the one who goes completely insane and insult every thing you can think of whenever someone chalenges you.
That doesn't make me uptight, it makes me a dick.
And I do not insult everyone I disagree with, and you know it. I insult people if I find their views offensive, and maybe if PC zealots try to label me a sexist or a racisr for noticing differences in people, kind of like you do all the time.
The quote you posted was in response to a kid making blatantly sexist comments. He finds women who have had sex before unworthy to be his companion. He pissed me off and I insulted him. What exactly was the point in posting that ? What are you trying to prove ?
Oh well, it's nice to know someone pays that close attention to my posts, it's really cute.
Tell me again why you think Conan is an "asshole" ? Why do you think cultural jokes are so forbidden ? What is wrong with making jokes about differences in people ?
Loosen your tie, have a drink, pull the stick out of your ass.

You go bonkers because you're too uptight. If you just mellow out you wouldn't take it that personally.

I think it's pretty okay to be prejudiced of people with socialy chauvinistic views. If someone is a homophobe and a nationalist, I automaticaly assume they're ass-holes. Yeah, it's prejudicial.
If French Canadians are not an oppressed minority, Conan has contributed to making them one. Jews are not an oppressed minority in the United States, does that mean it's okay to 'joke' about how they're all money-grubbing, Jesus killers?
