I thought it was great -
Dave was the only late night talk show host who could actually deal with the stupidity and shallowness of show business without the obvious asskissing that normally goes on with those shows.
Celebrity interview shows like that are simply used for promotion of celebrities and whatever they happen to be promoting at the time and Letterman always was able to keep it down to earth and even made it obvious that was the real agenda.
He made some interesting watchable late night tv and there is now a void that will certainly not be filled anytime soon - if ever. The golden age of television is clearly in the rearview mirror and fading away...
