Subject: Bill O'Reilly on David Letterman

Did anyone see the interview Letterman did with O'Reilly on Tuesday's Lateshow? If not, I'm sure clips will be turning up on the Today Show, Good Morning America, etc.

Now I know I differ in political views with some on this board, but politics aside... that segment had to be the most dismissive, disrespectful and downright rude I've EVER seen Letterman act.

It was so completely out of character for him, and so appalling that I don't believe I can even look at Letterman the same way again.

Maybe I'm being too dramatic, but I really don't think so. I understand that O'Reilly is an opinionated and polarizing figure, but he in no way deserved to be met with such utter contempt, especially after Letterman admitted that all he knew of O'Reilly was what he read in the paper (since he had never seen his show).

To O'Reilly's credit, he remained respectful of Letterman the entire time.

I'm curious as to what you guys think. Just for the record, I'm not some O'Reilly super-fan. I do watch his show from time to time, but I find myself disagreeing with him often.

      - I hope it's better than the one they do on Saturday Night Live -- Rocket, 04:16:11 01/07/06 Sat
        Well, it goes without sying that it's funnier than SNL -- Dog of War, 10:57:30 01/07/06 Sat
        LOL. It is beyond me how NBC has allowed SNL to become so incredibly bad. At what point is someone going to think about firing Tina Fey (head writer)? (NT) -- Rocket, 14:51:59 01/07/06 Sat
        Well, Tina Fey doing the Weekend Update is one of the few bright spots of the show (NT) -- Dog of War, 09:07:32 01/08/06 Sun
        Tina Fey is fine in her on-air role. However, the writing as a whole sucks on SNL, and that's her responsibility. (NT) -- Rocket, 18:34:40 01/08/06 Sun
        Tina Fey is the best thing about SNL -- CC, 09:59:57 01/08/06 Sun
        This may be a controversial stance... -- Dog of War, 15:17:39 01/10/06 Tue
