Late Night With David Letterman"
I do like to indulge in a bit of true Americana late of an evening, if nothing else tickles my fancy, and Mr Letterman is a reliable source of distraction if you can bear to switch your brain into full yank mode. Tonight was a winner with Jim Carrey as the main guest - boy that guy is so naturally funny, I love him! His humour seems a notch or two ahead of his peers, and poor old Dave struggled to keep up with the sarcasm and pseudo-ego, which was great. You get so much ass kissing and kooky morality on this and shows like it, it can be an eye-opener - also tonight they celebrated one year of Saddam Hussein's capture with 10 comedy treats he could expect for Christmas: weird and just a little sick, I thought, but an element of perverse brainwashing emanates from US TV and this is all normal folks...

Thanks for republishing this entry on your Blog. To clarify, before too many Americans get offended by what I said, I was just wanting to emphasise the cultural difference in TV programming between the two nations, I was not saying one was better than the other. In Scotland & all the UK we have to put up with some really bizarre, patronising or just plain dumb stuff around the clock: America is not alone. Happy watching. Kx
