Here’s a clip released by CBS from Monday night’s The Late Show with David Letterman without an audience. So Dave read his monologue to the band. “I’m no safety expert, but if I were at home, I’d be boarding up my television,” letterman quipped. The Top 10 list consisted of rejected nicknames for Hurricane Sandy like “Count Dampula” and “Power Outage Palooza” and “Wetzilla”:

Not funny. Firemen risked their lives and people died here.
Lighten up Scott. Fireman rescue, entertainers entertain. It’s what they do to contribute to the health and well being of their city.
To Francis: May I add that plenty of entertainers, besides entertaining, “contribute to the health and well being of their city” in other ways. Bette Midler,for one, ha spent millions restoring and constructing beautiful gardens throughout hr city. Letterman, in contrast,has othing more than drench his city, and the entire USA, with his puerile cynicism for decades.. I’ll be glad to “lighten up, Francis, when you grow up. Death toll so far: 33 and counting.
That’s right. The first day back on the air after Sept 11, 2001, Dan Rather burst into tears on Letterman, and the day after that Dave was cracking jokes again……
this is pretty hilarious
Why not perform the monologue with a laugh track? Just cut between the canned laughs and an empty theater. Now that’s funny!
Letterman is great!
He actually seems much funnier without an audience around than with one.
“David Letterman Without An Audience”–isn’t that his permanent condition?
This is the best Letterman I have seen in years.
I was curious and watched until he started back in as usual with his one-sided, liberal politics and I had to turn it off. I used to be a big fan of Letterman, but now I just can’t stomach the show anymore.
you watch him. i get more laughs out of watching barnicles on the pier.
That is awesome.
Like him or hate him, Letterman really is cutting edge.
