Why David Letterman Seemed as If He Didn't Care

The Toronto Star's television critic Jim Bawden in his Hot Box column yesterday wrote about David Letterman's 25th anniversary. It was asked if we agree that the anniversary show was "one droopy show." Due to NBC having the rights to the clips from the first 12 years. Letterman's on CBS now.

Unfortunately I missed it but in the Star column it says it seemed that Letterman himself just didn't care. I'm no Letterman fan and don't find him as funny as Jay Leno(sorry, Dave)but I'll come to Letterman's defense on this one.

If it seemed like Letterman didn't care it could be the fault of the CBS bosses. I recall when they were giving Dave a hard time because Dave was poking fun at his bosses. Obviosuly CBS brass have no sense of humour. And the entire time the CBS bosses kept forgetting that Dave always made fun of himself as well ensuring that everyone gets treated the same and he showed no favourites. With the way the CBS bosses were on his case no wonder he didn't seem to care. Who can blame him?
