the person who deserved to get it was david letterman.warren littlefield, still has a bruised ego about the way the network wavered in its support for him. >> when we found out that leno was going to get "the tonight show," we were all obviously depressed. we felt like we were being punished for making fun of them and not cooperating and not being as collaborative as we could have been. and we also felt like we were being disrespected because we did 11 years of great shows. >> just how pissed off are you? [ laughter and applause ] >> by all rights, david letterman should have taken over for johnny carson, but his agent took a very, very aggressive stand. we're going to really control all of late night. it's going to cost you a fortune. and they put our backs to the wall. >> i can only tell you that it has been an honor and a privilege to come into your homes all these years and entertain you. and i hope when i find something i want to do and i think you will like and come back, that you'll be as gracious inviting me into your home as you

there wasjohn letterman overcoming the donald trump endorsed canada, mehmet oz, that was a victory forto be sitting fairly pretty now and few would have predicted this just a week or so ago. the challenger _ just a week or so ago. the challenger in _ just a week or so ago. the challenger in arizona - just a week or so ago. the challenger in arizona was a candidate himself backed by president trump. so it is another disappointment for him on the fact that another one of those people that he endorsed hasn't got in. those people that he endorsed hasn't got in-— hasn't got in. that is right, blake masters, _ hasn't got in. that is right, blake masters, a - hasn't got in. that is right, blake masters, a trump i hasn't got in. that is right, - blake masters, a trump endorsed venture capitol still had to be bailed out, as far as the financing was concerned, towards the end of the race there. and you are right, it was a night, tuesday, when a lot of trump endorsed candidates underperformed, if you like, and that has led to a lot of criticism of the former president, mrtrump lot of criticism of

more behavioral problem and what i'm a nurse or a team and we all get ready for the race together. letterman with komatsu, will we make sure everything is ready and organized so the race can go on as planned? ok, don't. if the household in particular large on until knows every one here, including those who have a lot at stake. i saw got that is a day, i feel good. like a kid tare who wins, raised the salad. there's a race almost every day. each winner gets a brand new s u, v, or truck. and here's why reagan i've 110. this sees everyone oh the alex up and there's a cash price for the winners to to davis steak. and the final race is 2000000 re hours. that's around 500000 euros. with even the king, the emir of cutter isn't about to miss this event. campbell racing here is a national sport. ah. the other, the atlanta campus. i've been doing this for 31 years with her mom. i love, i love this more to humbly on john. it's actually a very deep love. it's my passionate feel clara, with the camel's race over a distance of 10 kilometers at speeds of up to 60 kilometers in our donnie would know. but th

conservative viewers, while the more liberal viewers migrated to late night on cbs, where david letterman'ser image, particularly during the george w. bush years, lead to higher ratings for cbs. that trend has continued to the current day. stephen colbert on cbs consistently exceeds the rating of tonight show host jimmy fallon, who focuses less on humor. jimmy fallon, of course, is particularly famous for a hair tassel-ing interview with candidate trump before the 2016 election, when the critics said it was a promotion for trump. trump, by the way, head start on nbc in the apprentice before he became a presidential candidate. i think it's fair to say that for all of these positive back collides about johnny carson's program, it's important to remember it also had its flaws. there are some things that a modern viewer would not find all that funny today. he had a character, and lab, about an elderly woman who did not age gracefully. it would be attacked as extraordinarily ages today. he had another character that he played, a leering perry of a sleazy television host that objectified women fr

a while ago you didn't know who david letterman cared about until john mccain ran.old by management it would help ratings if you didn't kill trump as much and he said you can get another host if you want. the one that comes out and wants bigger ratings will go out and do which until then gutfeld owns it and ronald reagan and johnny carson were good friends but carson would mock reagan is a forgetful guy that tended not to know details in skits and reagan used to laugh because he was an equal opportunity offender. the biggest lack of jokes is snl, just given up any sense of balance which makes people go that is a left-wing show. we were on snl, called open was fox and friends, the only time -- whole day, 2 days, no one texted me about because nobody watches anymore. it has become too not funny and too left wing. ashley: you are losing 50% of your audience but world cup underway, us playing against england friday, you placed a big bet on the game with pierce morgan if i am not -- i am reliably informed. how much did you put on the line? >> the winner gets it to charit

no longer the escapism we had with carson, the nbc days of letterman orlando, conan o'brien widgets an and just isn't funny and nancy pelosi is considered in a list guest. we seen this before. jimmy kimmel mocked milani out trump --meliania trump, made fun of her accent. she only speaks 5 languages, jimmy cut a campaign ad running in never had a. these folks are activists and do so under the guise of comedy and this is why greg gutfeld is the leader of late-night. he sticking to comedy. will: they are activists, not comedians, great for getting up with us. coming up, fox weather alert, destroying 50 homes and injuring dozens, rick reichmuth on where the storms are now. blue district across the country soon to shift red, 3 candidates will join us live on their efforts to flip seats for republicans. ♪ i got into debt in college and, no matter how much i paid, it followed me everywhere. so i consolidated it into a low-rate personal loan from sofi. get a personal loan with no fees, low fixed rates, and borrow up to $100k. sofi. get your money right. it■s hard eating healthy. unless you hap

. >> when david letterman had his morning show nobody had seen a guy this this at this time of day right>> a huge tankful of lemonade and what it looks like is minnows. that thing is full of minnows. >> minnows? >> my idea of a joke. >> the only reason we were getting it on the air is because we were putting it on the air because we already on the air. >> i read the nbc jury charge if we had more [bleep] and more violence on the show i think we would have done better from the start. >> they talked about being canceled before which you hadn't seen before on tv. a host mocking their failure. >> violence ladies and gentlemen. >> i am sorry that this program is going to disappear because it was something -- it was something different and something adventurous, and something really courageous in daytime television. and unfortunately. none of these shows -- any show that gets canceled or abandoned prematurely you leave a sexy corpse and they all become james dean. >> ding, ding, ding, i quit. >> you remember them as they were, young and handsome. they never age. >> hey, i never approved this.

i want to go to nbc josh letterman with us from cambodia where president biden is heading next and david editor for news at the new yorker.com. josh, what should we take away from this speech? >> well, the president making the argument that the u.s. is back on climate change and leading the way for countries around the world. he was eager to tote the inflation reduction act and $370 billion in climate funding that's part of that, the largest investment in climate ever anywhere but, you know, the interesting thing is that piece of legislation, jose, is actually not that popular with some of the countries that are at cop27 because it's fairly protectionests. it includes subsides for buying electric vehicles and other climate things, but only if they're american made. so you've got countries like france and germany that also make electric vehicles who are very concerned about that. the president making the case that the u.s. government is putting our money where our mouth is, but there are actually concerns from many of these countries that the u.s. isn't putting the money where they want t

the letterman phenomena is one that i am still exploring. i can't figure it out.s that what every man in pennsylvania is like? is pennsylvania that far down? a scale new jersey? >> i might have expected the oh oh, hey, hey. i like you, just insulted 70% of our studio audience. hey. well, the good thing is they're, you know, okay, well, don't care. i love you people. screw walter kirn. yeah, seriously. he'll do it. aaron. all right. who's going to win? i think dr. isles is going to win, but i also don't think that any pennsylvania, to walter's point, cares about what oprah has to say, honestly, that these celebrity endorsements in the career i have had in politics, i've never seen one make a difference. because oprah has a terrible track record . she supported hillary clinton, obviously not a winner. she's throwing her endorsement out there, a few of these senate races. but truly, she's not only so far removed from her show to be like a huge as big a figure maybe she was back in 2003. but this is just like bad headline for her. like who does that to their friends?

rebecca lamb, of course, who was a long-standing star, becca kirshner katz, senior adviser for the letterman campaign. the legacy is having a huge impact. i know your project you did a lot of work canvassing, knocking on doors, getting young people out to vote. what lessons do you take away from that experience talking to young voters, particularly voters of color? >> sure. i had two lessons learned. one, nevada, it's a purple state, a tough state, you have to have a broad coalition, and senator cortez masto assembled that. the other thing is the nonpartisan group continues to grow and be sizable. northern nevada did all their canvassing in a critical battleground county that senator cortez masto delivered. it's going to be important as democrats compete statewide there they continue to talk to those voters. the other piece i want to add more broadly is we were talking about gop extremism from the beginning in terms of being part of a grassroots community, you can often be on the early side of setting trends or shifting them. and when roe happened, i heard from indivisible leaders all across

finally, o i've got to get your take on senator elect john letterman's wife.ingwife. the member spouse orientation at the capitoltweete. s head i she tweeted out this photo. her husband's arm was cut off in another one . his head is missing. jazelle explains, this is an inside joke between the two of them. there's been criticism. when asked about it, she said, quote, a the right wing hates women. they especially hate strong women and i think that's what you're seeing now. joe , i know you've been sympathetic to john, but maybe they just hate bad photography. >> yeah, it's true. and , you know, the conservatives don't hate women. the margaret thatcher wrote the book in that regard. buset i havelle to tellsa you, i called it when i saw fetterman at the debate with mehmet oz, i felt sorry fel for betterment. >> and if i felt sorry for him,t raymond, then, you know, i'm aed softy. saidhe's kind of a bleeding hee a little bit. i said, look at out there.d an and he came out and you know what? i would leave her alone.e >> leave him alone? yeah. just chill. i've got t

oz is following letterman's disastrous debate performance. but if you're in pennsylvania, you need to be careful. democrats are now dumping tens and tens and tens of millions of dollars in one smear ad after another on dr. oz in this last week of the campaign, their desperate to get that guy in the hoodie, the guy that never worked a day in his life, the trust fund brad that once legalized heroin injection sites paid for by taxpayers. no restrictions. abortion, a moratorium on fracking, wants to release convicted murderers anyway. that race shouldn't be close, but it is . so pay attention in pennsylvania. herschel walker continues to outpoll radical raphael warnock in georgia. that race also remains close and perhaps the biggest political news comes out of the deep, deep blue state of new york , where republican lee zeldin is now officially taking the lead in a brand new poll by trafalgar. that's robert haleys group. now, lee zeldin will be here as he's campaigning with florida governor rhonda santos. that's straight ahead. and now the number

the double standards are like i'm impressed with letterman's performance at the debate. but herschel walketel r, he cant put two sentences together. >> that's what separates the democrat buzz. last week,s well, i don't want to step on mr. fetterman and his challenges. i'll, just say this, though. our president who read that statement really read it without any irony. maybe he was unaware of when he made that comment. all right. r all right.eveat next up, we have a verylins revealing moment from caitlin collins over at cnn. you've been asked a loterview and almost basically every interview you've done recently, about a twenty twenty four run and running foyou sar presidentf you said you're not interested in it.porter o i guess my question is , ifhigau you're a supporter of yours and you're someone who doesn't live in michigan but what is nationais tforl, wantsn run, what is the argument fort? you not running for president ? >> all right. what is the argument for youwhai not bailing out of being with but stuck with biden again? i mean, they are desperately castinniteg glas

creating conversations, raising awareness about tourettes, like in this moment between david lettermanllie eilish. >> where she is ticking. and then the awards. what's going on, the fly? >> no, i'm ticking. >> really? >> yeah, if you film me long enough you're, going to see lots of tics. >> reporter: but for people like craig elgin, even without the stigma, there is still suffering. in fact, the day after we interviewed him and while our team was still with him, he left the interview and drove to an emergency room. it had become too much to bear. so we watched as he walked himself into a hospital, asking for help. >> and craig did get help. doctors put him on medication for the first time, and it reduced his symptoms. but he says he wants to take the next step and will discuss the deep brain stimulation device with the doctor. that when you humble yourself under the mighty hand of god, in due time he will exalt you. hi, i'm joel osteen. i'm excited about being with you every week. i hope you'll tune in. you'll be inspired, you'll be encouraged. i'm looking forward to seeing you right h

. >> i would say in terms of your question, not officially letterman climbed at the agencies where we did our view that we noticed had more recommendations that were not addressed we are smaller agencies. that may be understandable. due to some of their challenges to dress them. i would say smaller agencies had more unjust recommendations. >> mr. cline, to get back to quickly. broader question. fps has been transferred. do you think right now the management director will be a permanent home for a fierce or is it another home within dhs potentially more appropriate? >> thank you ranking member meyer. our transition to management has been wonderful. we are taking advantage of the expertise of the lines of business. cfo, are, so in a minute. we need to mature our business programs within fps. the management is obviously that. ultimately the decision on the placement of fps i think as we go ensure we would be ready to prepare ourselves to become a complaint within be adjusts. stand-alone component, but right now relented with management, specifically under the leadership and guidance acti

john letterman's wife ought to be shunned by decent people for allowing that to happen. she knew her husband's condition. she just wants the power. it's disgusting. and keep in mind, that's how john fetterman talks with the help of a computer. we got a glimpse of his talking machine today. >> it's the size of an iron lung betterment who's recovering from a stroke in may use to close captioning device. during the interview with the stenographer typing out the questions in real time. >> again, just like the question of what paul pelosi was doing two in the morning with an illegal alien , we would be just as happy. in fact, very happy to ignore this whole thing. we don't want to talk about john fetterman stroke. it's awful. it's depressing. john fetterman should have dropped out of the race in may with the encouragement of loving wife, which apparently doesn't have. but instead they're pushing in the democratic party is pushing him to run for the senate, despite his inability to speak . and they're doing that because they want power. and for the rest of us that means we are

. >> it'd be great to haveo move john letterman to move forward on a positiv fe agenda.by the way, what is it about whether we have a republicant's senator or not? abouit's whether or not we haven adult, somebody who's responsible. i thought he was really good. i thought he knew what he was doing. i thought he was stronthere wag i look at pennsylvania. i mean, fetterman is everything that he appears to be, you know, where he stands. great he has great courage.co he has no reluctance to saysa what he thinksy what. >> he's my kind of guy and i think he's going to be fine. .they'll say anything, literally anything that he is running is u against john fetterman in pennsylvania. >> he's goinnndermang to doctorc thank you so much for comingto on . so is a non pennsylvanian. i look at this race. here's the lieutenantnd governor sitting lieutenant governor of pennsylvania,, you' versus you who's never held elected office before at all. >> and you're winnine offig. se so that suggests to me thatfede fetterman has done a uniquelrmyo bad job.cr why are these democrats coming in and

but for his part, letterman's final push doesn't include talking to voters in pennsylvania about the issues they care about, but rather talking to the girls at the view about how fit he is to serve. >> i really feel that we have been leaving the same equivalent kind of medical information that dr. usted and you know, we've been running a campaign and i think we have been very transpac. i feel that we're running a very transparent state about our health racial issues. >> excuse me. well, i think you look and sound great. it's clear your post stroke struggles are not cognitive and would hinder you as a senator . >> they all have medical degrees as well. i understand. joining me now is pennsylvania senate candidate dr. macmanus. dr. oz, we have a great audience here tonight in new york . >> and they're all very excited about what's going to happen on tuesday. but what does it say about john fetterman that he really refuses to talk about the policies, what's happening to the people of pennsylvania with the savatage of our energy independence as we're going into the cold weather months in

last friday it became known that famous american tv presenter david letterman visited kiev.y became the hero of his show called my next guest needs no introduction. it goes on the platform netflix footage filmed at the kiev station. metro independence square already posted on the internet, and the entire issue will appear before the end of this year netflix. recently, zelensky has been favored there with some delay, of course, but they posted the series servant of the people across the country, this fiction. i drove in a completely different way. i saw a fucking wino go, he got drunk, so instead of sums , the frost went, and it was a special operation in mid october. in britain, a collection of zelensky's speeches was published; it included 16 selected speeches by the president of the terrorist ; a call to all of us to stand up to support ukraine and fight for democracy. this book tells the history of ukraine in the words of its president. this is the history of the people valiantly defending itself against russian aggression. and this is the story of a people leading the wo

bush and, you know, you were joking with him about how bush, you know, he gave david letterman all thet in polling. when bush stumbles around, doesn't exactly know what words to say, maybe he does something that makes him look a little bit goofy, this person said to you, and i never forgot it, said, yeah, it shows americans he's a real guy. >> yeah. >> shows them that he may have been raised in this patriarchal family, he may have gone to yale, but at the end of the day he's more west texas than new haven and he shows it. and i think that's -- you see that in joe biden. >> absolutely. >> the guy from delaware. >> absolutely. the other aspect of it, the president of the united states is now covered no matter what he's talking about, we'll raise it again probably at the press conference coming up with president xi, we'll reflect on his age. he knows -- >> yes. >> -- how old he is. he knows when his birthday is. he's going to be 80 years of age in another week or so but we focus on the age as apart from the accomplishments. if you're standing in line at cvs and you're getting a break on y
