Funny that you should have a criterion of friendship based on TV
comedians. Funny, but oh so woefully sad.

Letterman was funny 25 years ago. Way past his sell-by date.

Google Groups reached its post ceiling this afternoon and the board of

add additional computing/storage capacity and raise the post ceiling so that
additional material can continue to accumulate unabated. Mr. T believes
that the system can continue functioning perfectly well without any increase

old posts so that there will be room for new ones. Meanwhile, Mr. R wants

Leno seems to rely more and more heavily on stealth mean-spiritedness
over the years. He seems like a nice guy on the surface, but the humor
doesn't bear that out.
Letterman I used to not be able to sit still through because he was just
an abrasive, too-cool flake, but somewhere along the line he seemed to
grow up and put his cards on the table. He now comes off as a frankly
self-deprecating curmudgeon who isn't trying to put one over on anybody.
I use most of the late-night shows as the spoonful of sugar in the
background to help me do tedious tasks in the foreground. My favorites
in order are Ferguson, Stewart, Colbert, Letterman, Fallon, and Kimmel.
I don't tape Leno unless I really really like the guest. If I needed
some more background material, which I don't, thankfully, I might tape
Lopez. I don't tape Conan, because he's always come off as a guy who
wasn't accepted by the popular kids in high school, so now he spends his
adult life trying to be accepted by the same people who snubbed him in
adolescence. That neediness for something that's not worth having is
off-putting.
I seldom tape the daytime talk shows, because they seem to be much more
heavily weighted towards beauty makeovers, diet tips, recipes, and other
supermarket checkout magazine stuff.
