Have you watched Desus & Mero on their Showtime series? It's a talk show but with an energy quite unlike talk shows we've seen before. I don't watch it all the time because I don't know who the hell some of their guests are, even after I see them interviewed…but I know who David Letterman is and he was a guest on a recent show. (And if you're going to watch it, watch it here instead of Showtime because this version is a few minutes longer.)
You know what talk show I haven't been watching? Letterman's. And it's not just that I'm disinterested in his guests. He rarely makes me feel like he's interested in his guests. He just recorded a show for next season — a whole hour with Kim Kardashian and you just know he was dying to have her on. Here's what I think they oughta do with that series: Bring in a different guest host each week to interview Dave. He's more interesting than anyone he's had on with the possible exception of Barack Obama.
So here he is with Desus & Mero. They fawn a little too much but that's kind of required on talk shows these days. The big thing is that they keep things moving and don't ask the same old questions, thereby prompting the same old responses. Make sure you stick around for the Quentin Tarantino story…
