Presidential Presence on Letterman


A couple of daya ago, David Letterman pulled off a "casting coup" on late night television when we had President Barack Obama and former President Bill Clinton on his show, consecutively...one night after another.


Competition on late night TV became tighter as Jay Leno moved into primetime and Conan took over his slot at NBC. Often, Letterman would joke that even his mom watched Conan, but would definitely have watched the Obama episode.

Letterman is one of the longest running late night TV host, since Johnny Carson passed away a few years ago. It was reported that Carson had always wished Letterman take over his show and not Jay Leno. And at 62, he is one of the oldest too and nearly as old as Clinton, who turned 63 last August 19. He is a LEO like me. Hmmmmm.
