No One Is Watching Letterman
Filed under: TV News > David Letterman
Blame the guests???
The Hollywood Reporter says that The Late Show With David Letterman tied its lowest-ever adults 18-49 rating since 1993 last week.
Is it Dave?
Why have people stopped tuning in to his show????

kkjk
cuz conan is better
I love to watch Letterman….he's way better than Leno
First
thats sad
Because he's so damn awkward and the celebrity guests always seem uncomfortable
First! I know it annoys people (and me) but I always wanted to do that.
ummmm…. cuz he's not funny?!?!?!
Awwww, I love Dave! But I must admit, I have been on a Jimmy Kimmell kick of late~
I WATCH IT
o yeah and because Conando is soooo much better!
I LOVE DAVE!!!
I'm still watchin'.
It's damn near impossible to get tickets for his audience.
bitches
FIRST
1st
there are better shows on than his. and hes very awkward
I quit watching him because he was always trying to impose his political opinions on his audience. Not too wise.
.
.
N.Y. is all fucked out.
Left is where its at.
.
.

His show sucks and he's a liberal prick. I gave up on him years ago. He plays with pencils, talks to that bald guy, cracks bad jokes, mocks conservatives, and that's the whole show. If I wanted to watch a funny liberal prick, I'd watch John Stewart.
1st?
i still watch letterman. he is hilarious.
Possibly b/c there are other options?!
-
Whoa…
-
That was hard.
It's on too late. I am usually passed out by then
He's way better than Leno or anyone else out there. He just comes on too late for me. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
david is awesome!!
because he sucks, hes not funny, hes a stupid douchebag and i dont know how anyone watches him…. and you're a fag
because he is tooooo liberal and everyone hates him.
I hope he goes down the toilet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HE SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Re: lesle – Letterman and Conan aren't even on at the same time!
first!
Because half the country prolly got their cable shut off because they needed Gas to go to work….:)
first
That's because he's BORING and does the same schtick he did 20 years ago.
People in that demo are probably watching the the late night shows on Comedy Central instead, if they're watching TV at all.
Re: lisa – Hmmm there was 19 comments before yours, so I would assume the answer is NO…..
Dave sucks!!! Jay, Jimmy and Conan and 1 million times better. He is out of touch and if I want to hear him and Paul make weird noises and shit all over his guests, I will tune in. He barely even speaks the whole show. He just makes noises, hums and makes stupid faces. He is not funny. All of the people who used to like him can't stay up past 8 PM and I hope he gets out of there and Jay takes over when Conan goes to The Tonight Show. PS-Jimmy Kimmel rocks!
I can honestly say that after the way he treated Bill OReilly on his show I have never watched him again. I won't even "surf" over his show. I refuse to watch him. He attacked him and not in a debate, or educated informed manner. He just made things up and looked like a boob everytime Bill corrected him. He childishly insulted him over and over and then when Bill asked him "have you ever watched my show?" Dave laughed and said "no."
He looked like an uninformed boob. Not very funny! He even spit in Bill's water glass before Bill came out. That is so classless I cannot believe he would take his image that low. It isn't that I like Bill O. BUT WOW was I disgusted by Dave's actions.
I have no desire to watch someone who is that ugly on the inside!
I love Letterman! But I will not watch Spencer Pratt and Mary Kate Olsen. Never!!! Dave is really smart and really edgy. He is a lot like Jon Stewart, only less childish. Dave appeals mostly to smart people. Unfortunately, there aren't a lot of smart people around. He needs to have celebs on who are doing interesting things. I would love to see him talk to Christian Bale. I would love to see him focus on more variety. People who write books, or people in plays or musicians. Just having movie people and random TV crap is silly. If I see someone on TV every week, why would I want to see them on Letteramn!
its to late my eyes cant stay open that long. unknown guest
it's cuz he's not funny. at all
Because he's a fucktard and has fucktards on his show!
All of his bits a old and stale and he runs them to death. Do we really need to hear any more TOP TEN lists. Shaffer is an annoying prick and it appears as if Dave is just phoning it in every night.
Dave is the best, the absolute best. He's on top of his game and I love that he has been speaking his mind politically. I watch him, and if I could only watch one late night show it would be his. Why his ratings are low I don't understand, just as I don't understand why Bush is in office. Wake up people!
Nobody watches his show because a) he's not funny, b) he's a pompous asshole and c) he derives pleasure out of making his guests look and feel stupid… A talk show is supposed to be light-hearted and funny. If you don't want a particular celeb guest on your show, don't invite them and be an asshole…
Because he's just not funny at all and he's mean to his guests. Conan's better!!!
I think forcing him to have morons like Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt on as guests has got to hurt. I have only seen clips of "The Hills" and the show is completely fake. Most Americans haven't seen it and could care less about its vain stars. Dave needs more A-Listers not losers from other shows that the network is trying to prop up!
It's taht stupid channel he's on! WTF CBS alwayz has so much stupid lame shit on it people just pass that mess when flippin' thru the channels and we forget bout Good Ol' Dave! And plus we can just wait 2 see clips on here anywayz! And yes, Leno iz a fat head human something or other I lost my train of thought, gosh darn it…..Leno Sux! There! Ha!
Probably because he has guests like Heidi and Spencer on it
When you have guests like SPEIDI twice in ONE month that will happen
Cause Jay Leno is THE MAN.
David Letterman needs to learn that he is a comedian not a politician. I can't stand him making fun of John McCain every nite and talking about global F— warming! Like he knows the subject@! Your done Letterman and you are no Johnny Carson!
And get some balls and marry the mother of your child!
I'll tell you why - it's because he's always on vacation!!! I stopped watching because of that. If everytime you tune in and it's a rerun, why bother?
So what. It's a misrepresentation to quote the 18 to 49 years old age group. They are NOT the be all and end all folks with all the money. I'd bet the highest demographic is still the 49 to 64 year old boomers, and they're not out on the town but are watching Letterman. That is, if they're not asleep sitting upright in the Lazyboy, lol. Total youth focus is bereft, and boomers still power the economy. There are plenty of talky show people for the younger demographic.
Uhhhhhh . . . because of the lame-ass guests?
Actually I work in TV in the Northeast and his numbers were up in our market in all demos…. he's still alive here…
b/c Conan O'Brien is God that's why!
OMG…ok "MEG" so you refuse to watch his show because of the way he treated someone….so you are on this website why???? dumbass
Well, adults are probably seeking real time entertainers who don't mind playing it safe on TV anymore. Also, his top ten is sooo outdated…can't his writers come up with other jokes?
Re: meg – Yea, Meg because Bill O'Reilly is so damn professional on his show, shouting to cut people's mics, and calling them wackos! You can't get made when one clown treats another the same! Dave was disrespecting O'Reilly as Bill O'Reilly disrespects nearly every guest on the left, the list is too long to print. Go watch a clip of him on youtube screaming "shut up" to his many guests. He does it all the time, Bill O'Reilly is a joke.
Re: meg – Ugh, And I thought I typed alot! WTF I didn't even read anything but UR name! LOL ♥
this remind's me of the time I was making waffles in my new waffle iron from the acme waffle iron company and just when I was closing the lid one of my squirell hatchling's ran across the iron and it became a squirell infused waffle so I topped it off with some ms. butterworths and enjoyed it with a side of chiterlins and grits. I finally was able to find some new day laborers at the local home depot after the ins raided my house a couple of weeks ago because somebody reported seeing some illegals in the area and they were right they were in the neighborhood working on my house.
Re: meg – Bill O'Reilly deserved it …He's an Asshole nevermind a racist fuck
He has gotten too political. When will talk show hosts learn that this turns off a big chunk of their viewing population? I love to watch Craig Ferguson because he is just plain funny and doesn't need to resort to shoving his political ideas down our throats. Plus, like somebody said before, he has done the same schtick for 20 years and it is getting stale.
Same reason people have stopped reading your blog. They are tired of the same old shit. Aim for the immature crowd, then don't be surprised when they grow up and move on.
Cuz TV sucks!

Because Dave is a mean spirited, patronizing, womanizing jack ass. He's not funny, leers at women on his show, acts like there is no one other than himself who is informed (which he is not). No one EVER reports that Jay Leno's ratings are consistently much, much higher than Dave's, even though they are and always have been. Dave is a has been.
Jay Leno SUCKS.
Because Dave's a liberal, politically-correct dick head. Try, he's not funny anymore.
Bill O'Reilly and Avril Lavigne are dating. Its true!! A friend of mine saw Avril ass fucking him with a strap-on at an LA club last weekend.

I Love Letterman, but he needs to stop putting guests like Heidi & Spencer lame….
WATCH HIS INTRVIEW WITH BILL OREILLY ON YOUTUBE AND YOU WILL SEE WHY! He also looks like a clowm picking on little kids like Spencer! Really, get a life! He got shredded by Bill O. so he decided to go after 12 year old media whores like Paris and Spencer Pratt instead.
If you half brained idiots paid more attention or had the ability to understand David Letterman's wit you would see that 1) He makes fun of all of the political candidates, usually on alternating nights. 2) yes, he puts the guests on the spot, someone has to. Better than Leno who sits there and kisses their asses. I guess you need an IQ over 50 to understand. Now go back to your short buses and padded rooms children!
Because he's turned into a crochetty old fart. It's as painful as listening to my Uncle Monty drone on - plus leave the politics at home Dave - and clearly he tries to have conversations that are way over most of your guests heads … time to retire methinks!
