"You see, once David Letterman's honeymoon with CBS ended, he quit being funny. And that led me to think to myself, 'Hey, Jay! Now the pressure's off.' With Letterman having lost his sense of humor, you can relax a little. I mean, who cares? Since you now have no real competition, you can keep your viewers and your job without having to worry about being "on" every minute.
"So one lame joke led to another, and before I realized it, I was just like Dave: completely unfunny! Whether it was my "old men need Viagra" quips years after the timeliness of erectile dysfunction drug humor had worn off; or my "Clinton/Lewinsky" jokes that I was still telling 6 years into the Bush presidency, I was starting to see my whole life unravel. I mean, have you guys noticed that anytime I have a British guest on my show, I think that it's the funniest thing in the world to respond to them back in a patronizing manner, by parroting their accent to them? There's not even a joke there, I'm just pointing out that they sound different than Americans. And you guys let me try to pass that off as comedy?
"Or have you seen the way that I think it's funny to take a clip of a current event, maybe a speech by Vice President Dick Cheney, and I simply super-impose video of my band leader Kevin Eubank's face onto Mr. Cheney's body to make it look like Kevin gave the speech? That's not funny; but you guys let me get away with it.
"I can't help but think that the American public is partly to blame since they enabled me by still watching my show. Regardless, it's my problem to fix, and hopefully my stay at The Robin Williams Rehabilitation Center For The Comedically Depleted will help me find a way to restore the sense of humor I once had. If all goes well, maybe I can even be as funny as I was when I was Johnny Carson's guest host in the 1980's."
