      People are older than me, when was it that David Letterman was funny? He had to have been at some point.

      Yeah it felt like he slowed down and became a sort of elder statesman after his heart attack

      It was gradual - the feud with Leno, leaving NBC, losing some of his best sidekicks, the heart attack, getting politically bitter, not being novel anymore, getting absorbed in his personal dramas, becoming a dad.

          That beard is truly hideous. And yes, he is just mean and bitter.

          Excepting maybe CHEERS, from roughly '82 to '87, he was the best thing on TV. Fondly recall the show I watched laying with my head upside down:https://www.vulture.com/2014/04/the-episode-when-david-letterman-rotated-the-screen-360.html …

          The switch to the cavernous studio, and the resulting shift in the demographics of his studio audience, at CBS badly hurt him. Stopped going for laughter and went for applause instead. Also, his funniest days were when @Merrillmarkoe ran the writing staff.
