View Full Version : What’s up with David Letterman and that ridiculous beard?

It seems odd to me that David Letterman of all people has this long 19th Century like crazy beard he has now. It really makes him look ten years older than he is and isn’t flattering at all. Letterman to me would seem to be one of the last people who would ever have facial hair and then he goes full Rutherford B. Hayes on us. Why?
Again, the beard makes him look old and tired. I think one reason presented is that he wants to be anonymous in public and this is the way he did it. Dunno. I just find it bizarre. I can’t remotely imagine his wife liking it.
Schmoopie 06-12-2019, 11:07 AM I'm not sure why he chose that look, but honestly I think he looks awful. I guess it's just a personal preference. I don't think it's because he's trying to "rebel" or anything but it's not a good look for him.

LOL @ He goes full Rutherford B Hayes on us !!! :lol::lol::lol: That's funny!!:D:D:D
Babalu 06-13-2019, 05:50 AM Letterman is completely insane now so the beard fits.
I think that he looks like Santa Claus, and even my parents think so too.
1960'sTVfan 06-13-2019, 09:17 AM Maybe he was tired of shaving every day and decided to let the beard grow. He might have also decided to go with the bearded look after he retired from doing The Late Show. The beard is OK, doesn't look great, doesn't look bad, it just basically gives him a different appearance.

And big beards are very in style now!!;):wave:
Steve_uk 06-13-2019, 12:57 PM He's the middle child, which can be disconcerting. Maybe it's a cry for help or demanding attention, look at me I'm 72, bring me a rocking chair, who knows? He's entitled to his own look, but I would have thought everyone wishes to grow old gracefully.

I've always had a beard but I keep mine neat and trimmed. One time I decided to let it grow out big and bushy to see what it looks like, but after about a month or two I felt like I was having too much hair on my face so I trimmed it back again. :lol: :wave:

LOL, yes something similar to that. :lol:
cfr1970 06-13-2019, 08:08 PM I strongly believe the man is mentally unwell. Google his name and you'll see that every single news item that comes up is an article about him bashing the President. He seems completely consumed and obsessed with it. What a sad way to live out your sunset years.
The beard actually fits with his insanity.
QuentinR 06-14-2019, 03:42 AM You think Dave suffers from the "Trump derangement syndrome" or what ever they're calling this kind of behavior. I haven't noticed it, but you could be right.
OH Nuts! 06-14-2019, 08:40 AM You got me. Never understood his appeal...so many ultra-talented struggle to get “discovered” - yet HE makes it big - go figure.

Greenbeans 06-28-2019, 06:41 PM Letterman was epic at the beginning of his run. Funny and innovative. As it went on, he became grumpy and phoned a lot of the shows in. He used to do location shoots, that ended after awhile and he never left that desk. If a guest was nervous and having problems making conversation, he basically abandoned them and let them look bad.
I think the beard is in tune with the grumpy old man he became at the end of his run. It looks horrific, but he was pretty horrific as a host for the last years of his run.
dee2364 07-09-2019, 02:14 PM I think David Letterman looks absolutely amazing. He's finally letting his inner hipster out, and it's obvious that he went with the beard to be less recognizable, although it kind of backfired on him now.
SitcomsHeydayfan 11-10-2019, 02:13 AM He looks like white Al Qaeda! :lol:
There's a reason why Leno beat Letterman in the ratings for 22 years! Leno did stand up for DECADES before he got the Tonight Show while Letterman is a former TV weatherman not a true comedian!

Both of these men look ridiculous.

Letterman never had mainstream appeal. This is something that Leno fans don't understand. It's like how in music, you'll have hacks like Lady Gaga, Miley Cyrus and Cardi B. selling millions of albums worldwide while more talented singer-songwriters like Sia and Bjork still struggle to get recognized. That Miley Cyrus is beating Sia or Lorde in sales doesn't mean she's the better artist.
SitcomsHeydayfan 11-10-2019, 03:47 PM He not only looks horrible but Letterman has lost his mind by turning into a liberal LUNATIC/activist!
Coffeecup 11-11-2019, 12:10 AM How old is his son Henry? I saw on David on a old Password during the time he was on MARY, Mary Tyler Moores one season show. Being young he looks so full of youth.

Then why did CBS hang onto him for decades on end if he wasn't mainstream??
