You know, people often confuse my dreams as meaning that I want to be famous. Truth is, I don’t want to be famous (and have to deal with all the crap that famous people do) but I would love to be able to do what famous people do without becoming a household name.

I mean, wouldn’t it be great to be able to direct a film, have the budget you really need, get the actors you really want and your dream cinematographer and composer for the film WITHOUT having to deal with tabloids bashing you or paparazzi chasing you? Yeah…it would be AWESOME.

This being said, of course there was ONE perk to being famous that was most desirable to me…and that was being on David Letterman and Ellen DeGeneres’ shows…because I’ve had a long standing crush on David Letterman (and yes, Ellen D) and have always always always wanted to be on both of their shows. Especially Dave’s…just so I could meet him and have him jab at me and laugh at/with me like he does with his guests! I think he’s smart, witty, HILARIOUS and a real straight shooter.

Obviously (and much to my hearts dismay) I will never have my opportunity to be on or meet David Letterman [my heart just sunk a bit at admitting this] but I still appreciate and admire what he brings to late night television. And to youtube…and to the world.

I will never ever understand how Jay Leno beat out David Letterman on ratings. Jay Leno is a phony with a large chin. He isn’t funny and his interviews are always horrible. Ouch, that was a little harsh, sorry. Or not. OK, I can’t lie, I still mean it; I just don’t like him and NEVER have. I guess it’s personal preference. Also, I think that maybe many people aren’t free thinking individuals and so, like sheep, they just follow the “popular crowd” and were told “JAY LENO IS HILARIOUS…look at all the A List actors & actresses he gets…WATCH HIM!” and so they did. Or, maybe they just stayed with the same channel Johnny Carson had been on because they didn’t have batteries in their remote and were too lazy to get up and change teh channel. I don’t know…I don’t get it.

I especially don’t get it when I watch clips of him being ballsy and really just saying what he thinks and feels…in as “pc” a manner as doable for him while really making some GREAT points!!!

Oh Dave, when you had post jail house bunny Paris Hilton on your show, you didn’t ease up on her and it was GREAT. When Alec Baldwin was on your show after that whole nasty message he left on his daughters cell phone had been leaked, you went straight at it with him questions about it and totally cleared the situation up in my mind. OH YEAH, and when the republican national convention was going on you were one of the first (if not the first) to discuss Sarah Palin and her glasses and sense of style. OH GOD BLESS YOU FOREVER DAVID LETTERMAN!!! I roll in laughter sometimes because of you!

You make me laugh and tickle my fancy in ways I will miss terribly when you are no longer on air.

This is one of your latest episodes…I’m right there with you on EVERYTHING you said…right there. Your skill with “humorous” jabs is impressive. I love it, and I love that you are unrelenting.

Thank you for this…you are one of the few educated household names saying anything of RELEVANCE during this whole campaigning process, and I’m impressed with your gusto in saying what you think, as best you can on late night television without getting in TOO much trouble for actually “speaking your mind”.

This clip from McCain bailing on David Letter’s show is fan-freaking-tastic!

Please, to enjoy!
