LJonEarth October 17, 2014 Share October 17, 2014 Bill Murray and Foo Fighters tonight. Is tonight the last show? When I heard about the Foo residency, I said the end is coming sooner rather than later. But this seems to be tied more to the HBO show. I'll bet they'll be back for the final shows to play Letterman's favorite Foo Fighters songs. I'm confused about the HBO show. Dave Grohl's intro on the first day seemed to say that Letterman had something to do with the show. But I can't find anything to confirm that. Maybe I just misunderstood. Link to comment

I'll bet they'll be back for the final shows to play Letterman's favorite Foo Fighters songs. I (and others who know better) have predicted the end will be during May sweeps. That would be a year (and 1 month) after Dave's announcement. And it'll give Colbert the summer to fix the Ed Sullivan Theater and prep for his new gig. Link to comment
opus October 17, 2014 Share October 17, 2014 I heard the contract ends in August, so either ending it early in May, or a little later in September makes the most sense. Johnny wrapped in May, so I'll put my money there. Link to comment

How much do I love these two??? Let me count the ways!!! Honest to Gawd (TM Letterman), there are no two men with the charisma & intelligence to entertain as these two do!!

alynch November 6, 2014 Author Share November 6, 2014 Man, that audience last night just hated any joke that was even slightly political, which is fine. In these days of overly warmed up audiences, I find myself appreciating more the jokes they're not into at all. Link to comment

Cosmocrush November 11, 2014 Share November 11, 2014 Did anyone catch the Katie Holme's interview? I'd never seen her on a talk show before so I was curious. Dave kept it rolling but it was weird and not in a good way. With anyone else it would have been awkward as hell. Her opening line was, "My grandmother's birthday was this week - she turned 90." Alrighty then. Also, she turns 100 cartwheels a day. Even Dave seemed at a loss on that one. Heh. Link to comment
Fisher King November 11, 2014 Share November 11, 2014 Katie always seems to give a "guarded" interview. Not a fun viewing at all. I missed last night but the last time she was on, Dave mostly wanted to talk about Suri and general kid habits. Katie was doing Broadway at the time I think. I love when Jennifer Lawrence is on. She's always wary of Dave and it can get weird quickly. Looking forward to OK Go tonight! Link to comment

Speaking of which, I did have to look twice at the movie clip because in it she seemed just as strange and in the interview - no acting required. I like the JL interviews with Dave too. Weird but fun! Link to comment
opus November 12, 2014 Share November 12, 2014 I'd say they avoid the photo hacking, but with Jennifer you never know. 2 Link to comment
ruby24 November 12, 2014 Share November 12, 2014 I kinda think Jennifer Lawrence is faking it in those interviews- sometimes she doesn't act like that at all, it just depends on who she's talking to. If she gets an interviewer who will let her take over, she jumps on it like she's putting on a show and loving the attention she's getting. Ugh, I find her obnoxious. People like that have to be the center of attention at every moment, it's so annoying. Frankly, I do prefer Julia Roberts, who genuinely likes Dave and considers their little "relationship" special, lol. Dave probably likes Lawrence's "weirdness" though. I bet he does bring up the photo thing but it'll be fine because all he'll do is sympathize and suck up to her, etc. Link to comment
Fisher King November 12, 2014 Share November 12, 2014 It's good to know that if I get a hip replacement, they give the old one back to make soup. 1 Link to comment
alynch November 12, 2014 Author Share November 12, 2014 That raises an interesting question. Does human hip-flavored soup count as cannibalism? I would say it doesn't if you're not actually consuming the hip. Link to comment
Fisher King November 12, 2014 Share November 12, 2014 (edited) I think Dave kinda made himself sick by realizing what he'd just said. Steve Carell totally cracked up, as did I. I'm pretty sure that it would be cannibalistic to eat only the broth, BUT one could argue that a human hip could be a healthier alternative to pork. Martha Stewart just always has to give in to Dave, and he has never cut her any slack. Edited November 12, 2014 by Fisher King 1 Link to comment
alynch November 13, 2014 Author Share November 13, 2014 I have no idea how much of the Jennifer Lawrence persona is a calculated put-on and how much is genuine (probably a bit of both), but I don't particularly care. Her appearances make for good, unpredictable, weird television, and the show is always at its best when it goes weird. 1 Link to comment
Grommet November 14, 2014 Share November 14, 2014 Now I'm mad that my ortho didn't give me my old arthritic hip! I had my surgery at about the same time as Steve C so I enjoyed listening to him talk about it. I had to refresh my memory on the John DuPont story. So weird and sad. Link to comment

alynch November 18, 2014 Author Share November 18, 2014 (edited) They usually only do Stupid Pet Tricks and Stupid Human Tricks about twice a year, so I suppose this could be the last one. But it seems much more likely that they'd save the final installment of a signature bit like that for when they're closer to the end. Hell, I could see it being in the final week. Regardless as to when it is, I have only one request for the final Stupid Pet Tricks: one of them has to not be a dog. The dog's have had an unfair monopoly for years.
