Whitefish Review Interviews David Letterman: Proves he is Showing his Age

David Letterman, former host of The Late Show, recently participated in a phone interview with Brian Schott of the Whitefish Review, a literary magazine in Montana, where Letterman will be moving very soon. The interview covers a lot of ground on a wide variety of topics, but a couple of the ex-late night host's statements prove he is definitely showing his age.

On TV, Letterman has always been just kind of one of the guys. Interviewer Brian Schott of the Whitefish Review explains, "As I expected, Dave was introspective, funny and, more than anything, kind. Listening to him through the speakerphone-that unmistakable voice and laughter that I had grown up with-was as surreal and as special as it comes." He may be just one of the guys, but he is also starting to age like one too.

In evidence of this, Letterman now sports a full, bushy, white beard with hairs that go in every direction, and he is proud of the fact. In the Whitefish interview Letterman says, "And I know, it's not a good-looking beard. But I don't even care. I just don't care. And it's kind of fun-well, I won't say that it's fun to walk around irritating people, I think I've proved that on TV-but it's sort of amusing to see the reactions."
