Fallon is also about ten years younger than those other guys. The comedians most influenced by Dave tend to be guys who were in high school or just entering college in the early 1980s when Dave was doing his most bizarre and original stuff - Kimmel, Conan, Jon Stewart, Ben Stiller, the "alternative comedy" stand ups that started in the early 1990s.

I imagine they had to cancel the recording of the show with the audience in such stunned disbelief, harrumphing as they made a bee line for the exits, their virgin ears bleeding at the horrificness of the joke. "Several fans who passed by the theater on Tuesday evening were outraged by Letterman’s comic misfire." -- so, the ace reporting staff of the Post found a couple tourists who disapproved of a sexist joke they didn't even hear, yet couldn't get anybody else who was actually in the audience to comment, or the supposed college staffer who actually asked the question. Or is it they couldn't get comments from those people that fit their agenda. We know the answer. Funniest thing to me in the Post's hysteria - they censor letters in the word "whore" because it's such a inflammatory, horrific slur.
