David Letterman, Now (and Then) As his NBC show comes to streaming, the comedian looks back at those early years — and ponders the fate of the late-night landscape he helped shape.

I got to spend 40 minutes on the phone talking to the one and only David Letterman about his days in morning TV, launching Late Night, his love for Mulaney, why his wife feels the need to explain his jokes, and, yes, CBS's decision to nuke LATE SHOW. Only on @vulture: www.vulture.com/article/davi...

How Kids’ TV Turned Into ‘Preschool Tinder’ Deciding what’s enriching for children to watch has become more daunting than ever.

As kids’ TV has become more sprawling, figuring out what’s actually enriching has become more daunting than ever. @shirklesxp.bsky.social reports on recent cuts to public-media funding, the growing pains of children’s entertainment—and where it’s headed:

AI filmmaking and storytelling is punk rock. It’s hip hop. It’s counterculture. It’s a new type of creativity. It’s a new medium. It’s hated by the mainstream film and art establishment.
