Customer Reviews

It truly is worth your last $20

David Letterman jokes around about his new offering 'Late Show Fun Facts' on his show of course, but he really is right on the money. Despite economic times this book is definately worth the price (even the conversion rate to Australian dollars for myself). If you love the show and especially his fun facts segment this truly does provide you with hours of fun, remembering some he has already done and some great new entries. I still haven't gotten through to the end. So believe me this is no 'pamphlet' it is 239 pages of fun...some will make you cringe, some will make you laugh out loud, but all of them - and other segments and info inserted into the book - you will find endlessly fascinating.

Great book if you're a fan of the show

I watch the Late Show every weeknight, so I was very excited about this book coming out, as Fun Facts are one of my favorite segments on the show. However, for those that rarely (or never) watch the Late Show, you may not like the book much. I bought it and enjoyed it because I like Fun Facts, but for those who don't even know what Fun Facts are, you may want to look elsewhere.

Hilarity, thy name is "Fun Facts"

This book is unadulterated humor. These "Fun Facts" are totally awesome, amusing, and a sure-fire way to while away the hours at home, on a long car ride, or even on your own toilet! Sure there are bad reviews for this book, but I think it takes a special kind of class and a certain poise to really enjoy these fun facts for all they are. Example: "The Equator is so long it could circle the entire Earth once." See? and that's just ONE of them! Imagine a whole book filled with these gems! Well, that dream is a reality with David Letterman's Late Show Fun Facts. I great investment for yourself, a gift for a friend, or a way to ease the tension at family get-togethers during the upcoming holiday season! But in all seriousness, if you enjoy Letterman's style of humor, this book is right up your alley. It's not just Fun Facts either. The book contains FAQs about the FBMI, letters from fans and kids, a detailed process of the Fun Fact creation process and more! Don't hesitate to buy this book, someday it'll top New York's best-seller book list, and that's a fact!

Laughter is the best medicine...

I laughed extremely hard reading this book, probably will laugh even harder after a few drinks hahahaha. Planning on giving this to my mom (a separate copy, obviously) for a stocking stuffer this year. I'm sure we will have great laughs! We both love Dave! I would say if you love Dave and his sense of humor, this is a good choice. If you like to enjoy a nice bottle...errr glass of wine and read a book, try this on for size to switch it up. Laughter really is the best medicine. But only if you have a sense of humor...otherwise you probably won't get it!

GREAT BOOK IF YOU LIKE THE SHOW

This is a great book - but you have to like the show. Unlike the other review I read, he or she is obviously not a David Letterman fan. Well I am and if you are pick up this book! It is hilarious. Read it on the subway, the toilet, the doctor's office waiting room, or during some boring sex (it will definitely spice it up!)
