New David Letterman Netflix Talk Show Premieres 1/12, Obama as First Guest
- Thread starter SnugTeam6
- Start date
Okay?
So despite Goodman being anti-Trump and saying his supporters should build a dome to be cut off from everyone else, is it "fuck John Goodman" now too?
Because Obama believes in second chances and apparently you do not?
Besides Letterman addressed this live on his show years ago.
Anyway, as enjoyable as it was to see Santa Letterman, that interview made me miss and long for the days of a politicians as president. Obama was a great first host. As for the tearing up, Dave does that a lot.

"Rumblings", asinine labels and you can see why Obama wouldn't stoop to these kinds of opinions.
Please, he ain't even close.
A good president, but in real terms he did nothing major in comparison to the achievements of other Presidents such as FDR and Kennedy.
User was Warned: Thread derailing
When was Letterman rehabilitated and allowed back with a show of his own?
I thought he was a POS? Is he now forgiven for his past misdemeanours?

He retired to spend more time with his family and feeling his time on the Late Show had run it's course. When was he ever considered a POS...
He's done stuff on "television" before this too. He did a show for National Geographic. Please try to keep up.
FDR and Kennedy wasnt stifled by congress or senate at every turn tho. People have to remember that Obama couldnt get anything major done because legislation brand put up obstacles for no damn reason.
His extra marital affairs, much of which he committed using his power and influence whilst on The David Letterman Show.
He was shunned for a while.
I mean, FDR obviously did more. LBJ did more.
Obama did more than Kennedy in his first 2-3 years.
Now all we need is Craig Ferguson to come back and do a show like this. I miss Craig's interviews.
You also have to look at the state of the country when Obama walked in office. He turned it around. It's debatable if he's the best ever, but I think we can all agree that he's the best so far in our lifetime.
No we can't agree on that. I would think Clinton did more then Obama
Really enjoyed the first episode. I love long-form interviews, so this is right up my alley. The month wait between episodes is gonna be killer, but if they are all this high-quality, it'll be well worth the wait.
I think Obeezy is still running things. When Letterman slipped in the "Seeing it as you're still president.." there was a moment in Barry's eyes like "how do you know?"
I think Americans underestimate how much the rest of the world loves Obama.
He was at least, fantastic PR for your country.

I get what you mean, but I don't feel that's entirely fair; the things a President does depends a lot on the world they live on. Kennedy saved the world from nuclear war, Obama can't compete with that because that wasnt an issue during his presidency. FDR led the country through WW2; again, not something Obama had to deal with. Just like with Lincoln, the guy that ended the Civil War and freed the slaves; he deserves to be the GOAT President because of that, but it's not like other Presidents can compete with that unless another similarly big disaster occurs during their term like with him, FDR or JFK.
Yes, Obama ended the recession and expanded health care, which is a fine legacy; but let's not diminish him simply because he didn't have to save the country from annihilation.
A black president for 8 years broke racist whites in America.
His interviews are awful, typically everything before the guests is pretty good to great.
Will definitely check this out.
Just finished watching the first episode and this is all I could think about. Lol
The fact that you lumped Kennedy in with FDR tells me you don't know what you're talking about. Kennedy didn't do a single thing as President. It was LBJ that did everything.
He did Marilyn Monroe.
He has a fairly recent stand up special on Netflix.

Interview reminds me that Obama - while being a great orator - isn't a particularly great speaker. He is nowhere near as articulate without a script as you'd expect him to be once you listen to his speeches. Not taking a swipe at him, much less comparing him to the current occupant of the White House, but it is worth mentioning in general I feel, particularly in this context.
Thinking of influential, black men, the one that stands out to me the most in terms of their speaking ability; Malcolm X. Incredibly sharp.

It was good. And it also reminded me of how much I miss his talk show.
CBS cares.
Thank you for this. I started watching it to get an idea of the ability you were speaking of and found the message fascinating. I ended up watching waaay more than I thought I would and will finish it later (when I'm not at work). lol
