Kudos, Mr. Letterman

Tonight is the last night of "Ventriloquist Week" on the Late Show with David Letterman. All week, Letterman has showcased a different ventriloquist. Some have been good; at least one has been quite boring. At least, that's how it seems to me.

To be sure, ventriloquists are not my favourite kind of act. When they are good, they can be very, very funny. But when they are bad, they rank somewhere between jugglers and mimes in the universe of horrible entertainment. Nevertheless, one has to give Letterman credit for bringing back this classic, if creaky, art form.
