David Letterman already has been crowned more often than Muhammad Ali. He is the King of Darkness. (Carson's been King so long, I'm bumping him upstairs to Queen Mother). Dave owns the throne now simply because he makes fun of everybody else in this crowded land of talk shows. And I mean everybody. I count at least 75 hours per week of boob-tube babble (call it booble). So you want a talk show too? Easy. Get yourself a stage, a sidekick, a band and a fifth or sixth network, and you too can drone, wear makeup, have an applause sign and work in Letterman's shadow. But first read about all your new competitors. (Then, after you've given up this silly idea, you can read about this week's mini and movie.)
