Daily Inspiration Quote by Barbara Walters

A little fangirl, a little power move: Barbara Walters saying she can "never get enough David Letterman" isn’t just a casual compliment, it’s a veteran broadcaster blessing the king of late-night mischief. Walters built her brand on controlled intimacy - getting presidents and celebrities to confess on cue - while Letterman made a career out of puncturing the very idea of media gravitas. Her line works because it collapses that distinction with a wink. If Walters, patron saint of seriousness, is hooked, then Letterman isn’t merely a comedian; he’s required viewing.

The phrasing is doing a lot. "I don't know about you" performs inclusivity, pulling the audience into a shared crush while implying the sane default is to agree with her. "Never get enough" borrows the language of appetite and addiction, recasting TV as a pleasurable habit rather than a civic obligation. Coming from a journalist, that’s quietly radical: it admits that charisma and irreverence can be as culturally decisive as hard news.

The subtext also nods to a shifting media ecosystem. Late-night, especially Letterman’s version, became a parallel newsroom - a place where political narratives were tested, reputations were trimmed down to punchlines, and authenticity was measured by how well a guest handled the joke. Walters praising him signals professional respect for that influence, even if it arrived wearing a suit and sneer.

It’s also self-positioning. By aligning herself with Letterman’s cool, Walters stays current, porous to pop energy, not trapped behind the glass of "serious interviewer". Admiration, yes. Strategy, too.
