Synopsis

Late Show with David Letterman is an American late-night talk show hosted by David Letterman on CBS. The show debuted on August 30, 1993, and is produced by Letterman's production company, Worldwide Pants Incorporated and CBS Television Studios. The show's music director and band-leader of the house band, the CBS Orchestra, is Paul Shaffer. The head writer is Matt Roberts and the announcer is Alan Kalter. Of the major U.S. late-night programs, Late Show ranks second in cumulative average viewers over time and third in number of episodes over time. The show leads other late night shows in ad revenue with $271 million in 2009. In most U.S. markets the show airs at 11:35 p.m. Eastern/Pacific time, but is recorded Monday through Wednesday at 4:30 p.m., and Thursdays at 3:30 p.m and 6:00 p.m. The second Thursday episode usually airs on Friday of that week. In 2002, Late Show with David Letterman was ranked No. 7 on TV Guide's 50 Greatest TV Shows of All Time. CBS has a contract with Worldwide Pants to continue the show through 2014; by then, Letterman will surpass Johnny Carson as the longest tenured late-night talk show host.

Micitype Pretty Good
BeSummers Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.
Verity Robins Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
crash21 When I heard that David Letterman was leaving the Late Show (after watching it for several years) I was nearly crying. Especially when I saw it get replaced with (of all things!) CSI? I will admit, The Late Show got lame in the end, but I say that was more from their depression on leaving the show. As others have said, I have never understood why everyone seems to talk about Jay Leno's "Tonight Show", because David Letterman was the best! Especially with the show's band with Paul Shaffer. Letterman had some of the best daily jokes, along with the more serious (and entertaining) story discussions.Sadly, the new Late Show with Stephen Colbert is just plain awful, I thought NBC's new "Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" was much better than this.I say The Late Shows were a big part of what keeps our country running correctly. You don't have to agree with every comment, but it makes people actually think about things, and not just make random guesses.We want to see "The Late Show" back with David Letterman, or at least the show with a better planned host replacement! Someone go get the Delorean time-machine to change this back.
ShelbyTMItchell David when he moved from NBC to CBS brought his own dry witted and really talented sense of humor. Too bad that he did not get the Tonight Show on the former network. As ratings would had been very high for that show.Still David can be a bit rude to his guests. But guess that is just the way he is. And how he can be in personality. Though he means no harm nor foul. Despite Jay Leno being nicer, David is still more funnier.Jay brings in the older viewers while David brings in the 18-49+ viewers in key groups! Love Letterman though only have been seeing bits and parts lately of him in recent years.
E_Buzz_Miller I have been a fan of Dave since the early eighties when he was on during the afternoons.  However, a few years ago, I turned him off as the show just wasn't entertaining or funny anymore.  This past week, I thought I'd give Dave another try.  What a mistake.  Going on and on about America being number one in jumping jacks became downright annoying - and this is from one of the few who thought his Uma - Oprah bit was funny!    Then there was the interview.  Dave has turned into a parody of himself.  Worse, it's a poor one.  How could someone turn an interview of a young woman who charged a grizzly on horseback to save a little boy into something so painful to watch?  He kept getting confused, interrupting, asking irrelevant questions and laughing like Ed McMahon.  I truly felt sorry for the guest.   I will never watch again as I would like to preserve the memories I have of Dave at his finest.
DKosty123 David Letterman is a show with attitude, Lettermans attitude. UnFortunately his is usually right off target. Dave no longer realizes what his viewers want & dishes it out in generous portions. Johnny Carson is turning over in his grave as Letterman has long departed from what made Carson a success.The problem which has developed is that Johnny Carson has died and he used to feed Lettermen jokes. Carson used to understand that there are lines you do not cross with humor. Letterman has lost that compass someplace.A few years back, I would have thought that Letterman versus either Leno or Conan was a slam dunk. Now it appears it Letterman is getting slam dunked. I would say that maybe he is getting to retirement time, but the problem appears to be deeper than that. Dave has lost something & the only thing I can think of is Carson's wisdom & advice.Still, CBS has never found another alternative for Late Night TV. Letterman is the first & only one CBS has found since running old movies. I shudder to think that "squirrels mating in a cage" & old movies could beat Conan, & then Conan can beat Letterman. The mighty has fallen. Can he come back, or will the squirrels be on CBS soon?Riddle: How do you tell that Letterman is getting out of touch?Answer: Dave tells another lame Sarah Palin joke.Riddle : How Do you tell Letterman is getting enough touch?Answer : He hasn't been hitting on his staff lately.Riddle : Why is Letterman & Rachel Meadow (both white) talking racism on a recent show?Answer: Ratings desperation, time for Letterman to step down.
