Viral Video Chart: David Letterman delivers his last show
|
Version 0 of 1. It may have escaped your attention, but godfather of the wee hours talk-show genre David Letterman signed off this week after 22 years presenting The Late Show. In case you missed his final outing, the Foo Fighters provided the music for a montage of moments from over the years, and here’s the man himself bidding farewell to a grateful public. Sticking with talk-shows – not for long though, promise – Jamie Foxx shows that as well as his host of other talents, he’s not half bad at doing impressions, too. Now I’m sure all of you listen to the nice person at the front of the plane and give your full attention to the in-flight safety spiel before take-off. No? Ooh, for shame. That might change for anyone flying Delta in the near future, as they’ve released this video featuring some famous characters from the YouTube nation. Now Twitter is a wonderful thing, isn’t it? How on earth did we used to cope without constant exposure to the worldly wisdom of celebrities, politicians and drunk blokes who’ve just left the pub and feel the need to let cyberspace know they’re having extra chilli sauce put on their doner? Lollllz! Actors are among the top tweeters, but ever wondered what would happen if their musings were put into the mouths of the characters they play? Wonder no more. Probably not safe for work, by the way. The US is famous for its exemplary customer service, a cheery “have a nice day” and a big sunny smile goes a long way. It would appear though that this Starbucks manager skipped the last few training days. Maybe she just felt the need to Venti. The Premier League season ends this weekend (although for this bitter Orient fan the season ended some time in February) and our clever-clogs video bods here at Guardian Towers have put this together to say cheerio to Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard, who are both heading Stateside. Also this week, “it’s health and safety gone mad!”; your weekly dose of cutesie-wutesie puppies; a novel way of dealing with a toddler’s tantrum; and finally, Japanese people react to their first taste of Marmite.
