The man many say changed late night television was celebrated in a special 90 minute finale of his talk show, joined by some of the biggest names in Hollywood and even the current and several former Presidents of the United States. A record 13.8 million people tuned in and they were not disappointed.

Letterman was part of the Johnny Carson, Joan Rivers, Jay Leno era — but now, the old guard is gone and late night TV belongs to Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon and, beginning in September, Stephen Colbert (as Dave’s CBS replacement). Dave’s retirement was a “passing of the torch” and the dawn of a new day.David Letterman’s final show was a heartwarming tribute fit for a king and his brand of comedy will surely be missed. So long, Dave!
THANK GOD IT’S FRIDAY!
