I haven't watched David Letterman since this

He was never funny. Popular yes. Funny-no.
He was only funny relative to Leno, but even that wasn't a huge difference. In the 90s and early 2000s, Conan was orders of magnitude better than both, but came on later. One of the real oddities in the history of TV
 
when he was on NBC, I used to tape him every night and watch him the next day and he was funny as hell. Then when he got the big contract from CBS, he got lazy and too liberal for my taste and I stopped watching all together.
 
he was never funny not an intellectual at all... he was an USAToday type of guy... quick lists you could repeat at work
I never saw an underlying creative sense to his weak efforts
