David Letterman’s departure from CBS’s The Late Show seems more meaningful the closer it draws near. As I write this, he has one more show left to tape.

Nice to see Late Night with Jimmy Fallon pay tribute to a classic. Abbott & Costello’s “Who’s On First?” routine gets a new shine here, with “Who” and “What” getting in on the gag. While the basic “Baseball Sketch” predates Abbott & Costello, the famous comedy team performed the routine for years before fully committing
Now that another four hours of my life has been taken from me, it’s time to ask: why doesn’t ABC lobby to have Jimmy Kimmel host the Academy Awards? The late night talk show host is far funnier on his post-Oscar showcase than whoever hosts the main event these last few years as he proved
