Did anybody just see David Letterman tonight (Wed)? He had an audience bit where he stands in the aisle and asks dumb current event questions with dumb jokes attached. He picked this really shy-seeming guy who was obviously very uncomfortable on TV, and when Dave said, "Are you ready to play the quiz?" the guy said, "I think I'll pass" and sat down. Not snotty, just very uneasy, like a deer in the headlights. Letterman handed him a gift certificate prize anyway but started ripping into him, making the situation much worse. The poor guy was just trying to mind his own business, but the camera kept zooming in on him in his seat with Letterman snarling zingers at him, and he looked like he was about to burst into tears. In the middle of quizzing the next contestant, Dave turned around and spat at him, "You're disgusting!"
WTH?! This multimultimulti millionaire media god has NO business ruining some ordinary bloke's day like that! WHAT A JERK! Carson would not have done that.
