Letterman Had Trump’s Presidency All Figured Out Back in 1999
While poking around for vintage David Letterman videos to illustrate my review of the new book Letterman: The Last Giant of Late Night earlier this week, I came across this. It’s from 1999, Dave’s Top 10 list of “Donald Trump’s Campaign Slogans.” “Huh?” you say. Well, in 1999 Trump began an exploratory effort to become the presidential candidate for the Reform Party. He announced it, of course, on television — not descending the Trump Tower escalator as he did in 2015, but during an appearance on CNN’s Larry King Live.

New Letterman Biography Proves His Greatness and His Weirdness
Jason Zinoman’s “Letterman: The Last Giant of Late Night (Harper),” on sale Tuesday, is a forensic biography of — I’ll just put this out here now, so you know where I stand — the greatest talk-show host ever. Zinoman, who covers the comedy beat for the New York Times, comes at David Letterman as a fan, as a critic, and as a reporter. The author knows he has to include Letterman’s failings, both professional and personal, yet his goal is to make his subtitle ring true: Letterman as “the last giant” of a TV genre that is now overrun by lesser mortals seeking niche audiences and demographic shards.

TVKen Tucker‘Maya and Marty’: Rudolph and Short’s Curiously Awful Variety Show
Let me begin by saying I like Maya Rudolph and Martin Short a lot. Rudolph is a regal comic presence with a rich voice she can use for clever impersonations, or as a straightforward instrument of pleasure. Short is one of the most gifted improvisers and sketch performers television has seen, as anyone knows who ever saw him as a guest on David Letterman’s Late Show, or, further back, on SCTV.
TVKen TuckerThe Awful State of Political Humor on Late Night TV
If you ever needed a perfect example of the dreadful state of political humor on late-night television, you cannot do better than this weekend’s Saturday Night Live season finale Hillary-Bernie. Kate McKinnon certainly does a fun Hillary Clinton, emphasizing her frustrated angst at not being universally acclaimed as the candidate she thinks every Democrat should rally ’round. Jimmy Fallon seems to think that once he gets into orange make-up to Donald Trump, his job is done—whatever jokes his writers give him seem like afterthoughts.
