Nice! I didn't realize this was back on. The Howard Stern interview was so good. The show itself is such a good idea.
Edit: yes I suppose there are limitations here, but I feel like this is somewhere between the podcast model and what you see on TV. A somewhat scripted hour long interview that does get personal, and has a really good host.

His currency has always been his absurdist bent: "Know Your Cuts Of Meat," Top 10 list, etc. He's playing the straight man now, and his beard is terrible. And Conan is killing the absurdist stuff AND adding some real heart to it...
Letterman is a legend for good reason. But much like Carson before him, his time has passed.

Aging funnymen like Letterman and Stern “maturing” into old-timers who want their legacy to be their (totally bland and uninteresting) newfound interest in SERIOUS and INTIMATE and LONGFORM “conversations” (a concept aped from podcasters, particularly Marc Maron) is the comedy equivalent of has-been 50something rock stars making sterile, irrelevant albums worshipping “the blues.”
