Farewell to Lou Dobbs, the most North Korean broadcaster America has ever seen.

And, if you notice, I concentrate on the humor. We need that more than ever these days! 
I stopped watching the news during the 2016 campaign when it was all-Trump, all-the-time, planned to tune again after the election - but we all know how that turned out. And I figured that a lot of DUers felt much the same, so I started posting the late night political guys that I watch. TexasTowelie got on board posting Jimmy Kimmel so we get all the news, with humor! 
And I've had the privilege of being in a studio audience twice - back when they had such things! I was able to see both David Letterman and Jon Stewart's Daily Show back in 2008. I am in New York, but nowhere the City.
But I have to say that I was extremely impressed with both of them. David Letterman was extremely welcoming, came out and answered questions before the show and then came out afterwards just to thank everyone for coming - after 30+ years! The guest was Dr. Phil, not my first choice, LOL, but the experience was definitely worth it. The studio is a lot smaller than it appears on TV and we had 5th row seats right in front of his desk. 
As for Jon Stewart, that was a bit tougher with metal detectors and such, but he was also gracious, also took audience questions. A woman sitting near me asked about the notes he uses during the show - and he remembered, gave them to her afterwards, quite a souvenir! That guest was Judd Apatow which we didn't find out till we got there. It was my guess that he needed a guest that night so asked a friend to step in. 
And wishing you a Happy Valentine's Day, too, my friend! With the hearts here this week, it's definitely improved the mood, the timing couldn't have been better! 
Another one I remember was when he immersed himself in a tank of Alka-Seltzer!
For my job, I was responsible for the CBS listings for the newspapers so I dealt with the Letterman show daily and kept track of the guests. He's always been a favorite of mine, as well. 
And my one exposure to Trump before the 2016 election was when he appeared on Letterman's show. I remember that I wasn't interested in this jerk of a guest and almost changed the channel, but I stuck with it long enough to see Dave put bigot Trump in his place - Dave, who always insisted he knew nothing about politics!
