Dave looked awfully embarrassed when he came out but it didn’t last long. I never watch him. Does his whole schtick revolve around sex jokes? I was angry and disgusted when I started watching him from his previous comments and as he went along I realized that he is a pathetic aging comic that relies on sexism and just rude sex jokes to get laughs. His entire monologue – if you found the predictable sex jokes about Paris Hilton and Miss California and the ageism joke about Senator John McCain humorless – there wasn’t anything else funny. Here’s what his monologue consisted of. One wonders if they had a lot more Palin jokes meant to be used that they couldn’t.
Monologue recap…where’s the humor He made fun of Senator McCain – the old ageism that’s guaranteed to get a laugh. Then Broadway being a pedestrian mall and pot holes so big there’s a gift shop…Midtown Tunnel with picnic table and putting green. Then the woman who stuffed her mattress with cash – JOKE: leave off the last ’s’ for stupid. Then Paris Hilton and her sex life – how her most recent boyfriend was just using her for sex. Man who invented salad bar – JOKE: casket had a sneeze shield. Ahmadinejad – looking like a pervert. Not funny – true. And then on to Miss California followed by Gov Palin – no he didn’t apologize- JOKE: she’s taking him out hunting. Not a bad idea. How about a few jokes about a 43 y/o mother of five field dressing an over the hill senior citizen trying to do comedy and coming off as an old pervert who never went on dates? Descending to his level – how she needed a microscope to find his shrunken testicles. And then he finishes with Judge Sotomayor and her broken ankle and cuts to a clip of a lady falling off a rope bridge in a “jungle”. Not funny.
MONOLOGUE:
I’m Dave Letterman making friends wherever I go.
Discusses the switch over to digital from analog.
John McCain is confused. He wanted to know if after the conversion will his TV dinners still work.
Paris Hilton and her breakup with latest boyfriend.
He’s a former minor league baseball player and she apparently is sending him back and calling up a lefthander.
Paris Hilton got rid of the guy because he was just using her for publicity.
He says, no, that’s not true – I was just using her for sex.
Then on to another woman to trash with sex jokes.
Remember Miss California? Got herself in trouble for shooting her mouth off? Gee, I wonder what that’s like. (smiles)
(laughter & applause)
She got fired. She has to turn in her crown, turn in her sash…and she also turns in her implants.
Miss California is a beautiful woman…in fact when Donald Trump had to go in and fire her that thing on his head started panting. That’s how beautiful she is.
What’s his son going to think of granddad’s humor?
On to Gov Palin, who he cannot even refer to by her title.
Well it’s busy week here on the Late Show.
Early in the week I made some jokes that upset Sarah Palin. And I was telling jokes about her family and stuff and she got really upset and I think everything’s fine now. I think everything’s gonna be great because she called today and invited to take me hunting.
(laughter & applause)
She got upset. Not I was wrong…they were ugly…they were borderline and inappropriate sexual jokes about her 14 y/o daughter and she was justified in her anger. They were inappropriate about her 18 y/o daughter as well. It appears CBS is not going to do anything so why should he swallow his pride and admit he was wrong? Wonder what the Women’s Media Center is saying? They said nothing about sexims in the presidential election until the very end when it appeared Micelle Obama was going to get some scrutiny as the new First Lady.
And then on to Judge Sotomayor which had no comedic value.
Ladies and gentlemen. I don’t know where you’re going to find a better show than we have here tonite…if you take me out of the equation, that is.
Then he talks with Denzel Washington. Before the Jonas Brothers perform – he says these interesting comments.
I don’t know if you know anything about television…and well neither do I. On this show — I can’t speak for other shows – nothing is left to chance. There are no accidents – no coincidences on this show.
Kind of admits that he meant what he said and fully intended to say it.
