The consistency of watching the same show and same person night after night for sometimes years on end likens the late night talk show to a favorite pair of old worn out shoes at the least, and even an old friend at best.
Personally, I've watched Letterman and Conan through high school, college, and well beyond. There are few things in this world with such staying power. In our society of constant change it becomes a true marvel that these shows have stayed on the air with the same host for years on end. (Sorry, Conan.) And that's just one element that makes the world of late night television so special.
But enough of the serious tone. Late night television is full of cheap laughs and dumb celebrities making fools of themselves. And that's what we really love. With that said, let's start the show!
In the welcoming spirit, we'll start tonight off with a classic clip of David Letterman welcoming his new bosses back when he was still at NBC and General Electric had just bought the network.
