But his eccentricities and the innocence he projected through the airways were real enough, and Letterman made the most of them, using Larry "Bud" Melman's combination of klutziness and guile to send up TV's insatiable thirst for content, whatever its form.

And it was entertaining. More so than, say, an American Idol Results show.
