David Letterman made a special appearance on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” and the audience couldn’t have been more excited. As he made his way to the stage, the crowd erupted in applause, showing their enthusiasm for the legendary talk show host.
During his interview with Stephen Colbert, Letterman couldn’t help but comment on the incredible atmosphere of the show. He compared it to a mall, saying that the revamped Ed Sullivan Theater felt like Rodeo Drive. He even joked about how the dressing room was nicer than any hotel he had ever stayed in, complete with snacks and a menu. It’s safe to say that the show’s crew went above and beyond to make him feel welcome.
Colbert took the opportunity to congratulate Letterman on his retirement and the tremendous success he achieved throughout his career. Letterman graciously accepted the compliment but made sure to acknowledge the hard work of Colbert and his staff. He commended them for making the job of hosting a talk show look easy, although he certainly knew firsthand that it wasn’t.
The conversation took a nostalgic turn as Letterman reminisced about his time as host of the “Late Show.” Colbert reminded him of their previous meeting, where Letterman expressed his desire to try sitting at the desk on the other side of the stage. Previously, Letterman’s desk had been positioned against the infamous curtain behind the stairs. However, he expressed a curiosity about Johnny Carson’s configuration, as Carson had his desk on the same side as Colbert’s.
In typical Letterman fashion, he shrugged off the idea, humorously saying, “Who gives a good goddamn.” It was a lighthearted moment that showcased his self-deprecating humor and his ability to find joy in the little things.
All in all, David Letterman‘s appearance on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” was a delightful trip down memory lane. The audience’s raucous applause and Letterman’s easy banter with Colbert made for an entertaining and memorable episode. It was a chance for fans to relive the magic of Letterman’s late-night career while celebrating the continuing success of Colbert and his talented team.
