I just digitized the post-heart attack episode which was good, though the episode where Bill Cosby guest hosted on the same VHS tape was more entertaining to me. I think on those instances when Letterman chooses not to phone it in, he is the best talk show host alive. But since he rarely seems to take an active interest in his show anymore, Ferguson gets my vote for most watchable host/show. -- Kevin M. (RPCV) -- -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
