True. It got a little nicer.
Dave stopped being funny somewhere in the late 90's. Became bitter and drab.

haha. i agree his early stuff is great and the best!

he did have his moments though later on

I disagree.

The audience has been gradually changing as soon as mobile technology allowed their eyeballs to browse information and entertainment outside of the Television set. It started with the bulky desktop computer, but excelled after WiFi and lighter devices allowed people to carry their distractions with them.

Just like every other human being, David Letterman is getting old and what was once a great aspect of his showmanship gets withered away as his core audience finds other interests and the younger generations don't even know who he is. You can see it today with millennials and Gen Texters who don't even know who Johnny Carson is.
