He is a perfect balance of gruff but lovable. In fact, the Taoists originally used "gruff" and "lovable" instead of "yin" and "yang."
Gruff but lovable Gus..the looks on his face...LOL!! Robert at 66.
i used to watch dave and have a coke and a smile
The very day before Jimmy the Greek made the infamous racist remarks that destroyed his career, my father ranted at one of his broadcasts, "Doesn't this idiot ever know when to shut up?" Prophetic statement.
love dave miss him
Let's make a poll. Did you consider gruff but lovable old Gus to be more gruff, or lovable?
I would say gruff, based on memory; but seeing it now I think Dave was right in saying lovable!
I'm surprised CBS gave Dave a show after what Gus did to their bookmobile. I guess Larry Tisch didn't hold grudges.
Don't run into Don Pardo!
Cool it with the pop, Dave.
Dave can and did all screw the image of man praying to another man I sack cloth killer of Christ
David Letterman for pres
Horrendous audio. Can barely understand the book lady!
This makes me nostalgic for Dave's NBC show. He had such an edge back then.
