It’s Close Up Magic Week on David Letterman. I wish nothing but the best of luck to the talented and deserving guys appearing on the show. I also hope they make it out alive!

Maybe I should explain...

Generally speaking I’m a Letterman fan, although I must admit the real charm was staying up until the wee hours and watching him when I was in high school. But when it comes to magic he always seems set against letting magicians perform. He loves to interrupt, interject, and otherwise disrupt magicians. It escapes me why he doesn't use this strategy with other acts. Why not comment throughout a stand up comics set or perhaps add a few well chosen remarks during a singers spot? I’m sure that would add immensely to their performances.

No? Perhaps I’m wrong.

Dave, I love you man...but these guys are your guests.

Why not treat them like ones?
