Did anyone notice the Late Show comments last night during [Adult Swim]? The stuff in between the cartoons where they said something like:
"...There will be tributes ...but The Tonight Show hasn't been The Tonight Show since Johnny Carson retired... the real Tonight Show is The Late Show hosted by a fellow named David Letterman,.. the views expressed here are those of [adult swim] and you, the viewer."
It was sort of like, yeah, okay, that's true, but why instigate while people are grieving? It was weird.
I guess I don't see how this is instigating anyone other than Jay Leno.
Agreed.
right. i think the point is that Letterman was "supposed" to get the job after Johnny left. so when he didn't and that dimwit Leno got it, Letterman bailed for CBS.
personally, I prefer Carson's brand of wackiness to Dave's, but that's just my opinion

Agreed. I just couldn't really figure out why they would bother; I mean, we all know the Letterman story; it was just sort of "odd", even for [adult swim].

i thought the adult swim tribute was the most fitting i've seen... it was like a moment of silence, it was very somber and surreal... i thought it was amazing personally, because they really captured what it was about when they mentioned how he made us laugh... i really liked it

Is it really necessary to always put "adult swim" in brackets?
