The Sarcastic Rebel Who Won the Race.
David Letterman was never the guy to play by the rules or kiss up to the powers that be. His humor was sarcastic, edgy, and a little cynical—but it resonated because it was honest. For over 30 years, Letterman stayed in the game by calling it like he saw it, mixing smart commentary with a dry wit that kept audiences hooked. He carved his own lane, refusing to water down his style even when the stakes got high.
Behind the jokes was a guy with grit and determination who earned his spot as a late-night legend by being himself, no matter the cost.
Verdict: SphstRDnck.
Sharp tongue, steady grind, and the guts to go his own way.
