Former “Late Show” host David Letterman thinks he may have retired a little too early.
“I was complacent. I was satisfied. I was content,” he said Friday night. “And then a couple of days ago Donald Trump said he was running for president. I have made the biggest mistake of my life.”
Letterman was crashing Steve Martin and Martin Short’s show in San Antonio, Texas when he pulled one of his famous top ten lists out of his suit pocket. He proceeded to rattle off jokes about the Republican presidential candidate that ran the gamut from the personal — “Donald Trump weighs 240 pounds, 250 with cologne” — to the political.
“Thanks to Donald Trump, the Republican mascot is also an ass,” Letterman quipped.
Of course, the comedian also made a crack about the backlash to Trump’s comments about Mexican immigrants.
“Donald Trump has pissed off so many Mexicans he’s starring in a new movie entitled ‘No Amigos,'” Letterman said to big laughs.
Watch below around the 3:30 mark:
With TV hosts, you sometimes wonder if they are really funny or if it is just their writers making them funny. Unlike others, Letterman is a very funny guy. He is the master of self deprecating humor and playing to his audience.
The whole clip is long, the list starts at around 4:00.
Funny stuff. Will Trump sue Letterman now?
I was pleasantly surprised at the laugh he got on his #3.
Spoiler: Instead of pardoning a turkey, he’d evict a family.
That was painful to watch. Reminds me why I hate stand-up comedy. Martin Short seems really insecure. Always looking to Steve Martin for approval, and Steve Martin just seems to ignore him.
