So I put David Letterman's 9/11 monologue on YT. It got a a few thousand views in like a week and people in the comments were saying they were happy to see it again because it kept getting taken down. And then it got taken down by Paramount a few days later.

I emailed the paramount copyright people asking how they're able to do that because I thought Letterman's people own his stuff and they didn't respond to me but the claim quickly disappeared.

Can somebody explain this? I don't know much about this stuff.

I watched the premiere episode, the second one airs on CNN tonight at 9PM EST.

I'm someone who is very cynical of and pessimistic about today's America. But Craig's appealing personality and perspective as an immigrant really imbued a sense of hope and appreciation in me.

The format is a bit of a hybrid between Conan and Anthony Bourdain. His open-mindedness and charisma traveling across the US masterfully balances the things that make America great without whitewashing.

It's equal parts interesting and funny, and it really solidifies the value of human connection in today's world, and Craig showcases an incredibly strong ability to connect with everyday people outside of the late night talk show format.

Here's a rough synopsis of the first episode. I would recommend not looking at it so you can watch for yourself but i'll still leave it here if you want a peek.

>!The first episode focused on immigrants, and it explored the value of escaping anywhere from unideal to horrific environments to become an American in search of a better life.!<

>!He goes to Dallas and tries on cowboy hats with KT Tunstall and talks about their shared love of Dallas (the show) growing up in UK/Scotland. !<

>!He does street art in Miami with Latin Americans who escaped from hostile Colombian/Venezuelan environments.!<

>!He heads to NYC to have a fascinating conversation with Salman Rushdie exploring the idea of America and talking about his new book. !<

>!Then he heads to a bar with an Englishman and an Irishman where they appreciate the fact that they can be pals now because they're Americans.!<

>!He goes bowling with author Abdi Nor Iftan and he talks journey from struggling to survive the civil war in Somalia to thriving as an American citizen. He also talks about the secret audio diaries he made in Somalia that aired in North Carolina, an act that nearly ended with him being executed.!<

>!Then a deep dive into the space race and a exploration into the great beyond... With the very funny retired astronaut Mike Massimino discussing his Italian roots.!<

>!And then he visits the statue of Liberty for the very first time with his friend and bestselling author Adriana Trigiani, who received the Ellis Island medal of honor in 2025 and co-founded the Origin Project.!<

Craig didn't have much that truly stuck after The Late Late Show despite his immense talent, but this feels like the show he was meant to do.

The average % chance ranges around 63-66% depending on the year. Anybody can get that number in like 2 minutes with an iPhone calculator

1-(1-.22)^4.18 = .646

But the range of values from the "engine" are like 60-70 which is just beyond stupid

if you take H/PA: .250 & PA: 4.4 which isn't even that high

1-(1-.25)^4.4= .718

Who the fuck put this on there and represented it as MLB's "proprietary engine" what kind of lazy-ass pinheads do they have other there
