43. I was a bit disappointed

No, I was a whole bunch disappointed. Jimmy Fallon does enough singing and dancing for that time slot and more is not needed. I changed the channel when Jeb came on.

I watched Letterman for his facial expressions as much as anything, they were always right on, and very peaceful. His skits were stupid, like throwing junk off buildings and sending talently challenged people on errands, but they were quietly funny and I enjoyed the stupidity of some skits.

The show seemed so effortless and easy to take, and the opening monologue with political humor was always a treat.

If Colbert would just relax a bit and act as though he's spending an hour with us, his friends, it will greatly improve the show.

I missed Letterman more last night than I have since Trump announced...
