David
Last night was David Letterman’s last show.
I wasn't a big David Letterman fan over the years but I was quite impressed with the recognition, accolades and respect given to him during the last few weeks’ countdown to the final show. I watched some of the last shows with interest -- he certainly had everyone who is someone in the chair for a last encounter. The old tapes put things in perspective and made me feel that, indeed, we’ve come a long way. I was reminded of his sensitivity after 9/11, his heart surgery and the birth of his son, Harry. And some of the antics (like throwing stuff off the roof to a smashing end in the street) were slightly more-amusing than when I first saw them.
A few weeks ago, I wouldn't have thought that I would miss him, now I'm not so sure. Will you miss him?

He was a welcome addition after a long day! I also enjoyed his laugh!
I am also at the point where the late night show hosts are younger than myself and I can't say I like that too much.

I thought last night's tribute captured so much of why he was special. His shtick with kids and people on the street were hilarious. Covering 9-11 and his heart surgery discussions were spot on.
I think he pulled the ultimate tribute to both his real fans and his love of Johnny Carson by doing a 90 minute show last night (like the original Tonight Show) that left the DVR crowd out of the last 30 mins. Odey Raviv

Now Johnny Carson-- he never failed to reduce me to tears with his humor and uncanny timing.
