We need a 10 year Letterman retirement anniversary show in 2025. National security depends on it!

9 years without my medicine.It's a miracle I m still alive

There will never be another David Letterman. He was magnificent.

I can't believe it's been nearly 10 years since he retired!

I have watched and listened to David’s beautifully reserved, touching and super-classy final words at the close of this show COUNTLESS dozens of times: “And now, the only thing I have left to do for the last time on a television program, thank you and good night.”

Thank you Dave. ❤ And thanks for still keeping us on the toes on The Barbara Gaines Show. ❤

Its still very emotional to watch. Late night has never been the same

That hold on the last note! 🎶🎶🎶💪 such a great band! Also it’s just fun to say Anton Figg!

For my generation, this was our May 22, 1992.

Thanks Letterman

80's 90's Dave was the best. His remotes were hilarious.

And he's never shaved since....

Dave Letterman was the only guy I would get up early in the summer to watch on TV. When he had his morning show with Rich Hall and Edie McClurg. I was such a fan of Dave, I wasn’t going to miss it. One of a kind comedic talent.

You gotta post more of Dave's monologues! They're great!

"When we started the show, the hottest show on television was Keeping Up With The Gabors!' is such a great joke, it has stuck with me all these years... Turns out it was actually a last minute addition to the monologue, courtesy of Bill Scheft.

Thanks Dave, for 33 years of premium late night entertainment!

Thanks for the great Show Letterman.

I’m thankful Dave hasn’t faded into obscurity like Johnny did. His old fashioned hamburgers at the Wendy’s joint are top notch. 👌🏻

I watched Dave every night throughout high school. When my dad passed and I was going through a hard time, the late show was a great bit of solace every night. Late night isnt the same anymore without him and Conan.

I remember watching Letterman in the early days at NBC, never stopped there after.

I miss my David & I miss his dear sweet mama who would always have that lovely smile on her face when he spoke to her in her kitchen!😊

"Comedy that we could have done tomorrow" is still comedy nine years later. Always love seeing these flashbacks.

What a truly incredible farewell show...can't believe it's been 9 years!

All these years later I’m still sad that I grew up I lost time for up tv at 11:35. I can legit, but not blame LS for me being a bad student. Middle school. ~96, judging from the set. Old b/w tv turned so low I could barely hear. Then wondered my my 12 yr old body couldn’t wake up and go to 7:30 school. Lol. Wouldn’t take any of those minutes back!! Then couldn’t sleep and found Conan LN, which the combo just was perfect. So 12yo me didn’t sleep until 1:45/2. I wrote on my middle school walls “watch letterman, not Leno” like any other student even knew what those words meant. Always kept the love though, WALTER, so happy to find Dave again thanks you you and this channel. Of course, shout out to Donz for always holding the fort down. And then just for rambles, thanks to one of you guys, also Mark Hamill for being an OG taper. When I heard about the retirement, it was like a month from the day and bank acct said NOPE. but if I had the money - still would’ve gone, just to be on 53rd/broadway and get a sando from Rupert). Every time I see Dave, I just instantly have a smile that I can’t erase. So many amazing memories, others that I’ve forgotten and now reminded about, and all the LN is new to me and amazing. Just needed to ramble about this to the world (cuz none of my friends ‘get it’) Thank you WALTER, thank you DONZ for being the OG (I have some questions, but scared about what you’d think). Again, love DL, love the team, love Mike over at the podcast for confirming that the WP team really was a family that cared and loved each other. Ok, ramble over. Ps (obvi love all the other fans too.)

Our country hasn’t been the same since he left. Just everything has gone downhill.

Other than mom saying goodbye to us, I'd say this day when the great David Letterman said goodbye on CBS, the saddest day of my life! Miss you man!

The Letterman channel should upload some full episodes similar to how the Carson Tonight Show channel sometimes does

A piece of my life died on this day

We need a KZfaq channel that plays full episodes of Late Night/Show at it's original air time every week night.

And you out of towners got to be a part of history

Miss you Dave! Thank God for KZfaq!

I still have this broadcast on VHS. SP speed, Hifi stereo. Along with the Hatsune Miku appearance.

So happy to relive these moments when Dave is still alive. ;)

Come back Dave!

Miss The Late Show so much. Too bad it's not on anymore.

I didn't realize it was so long ago.

Watching this as if I saw it in real-time nine years ago. I was almost graduating High School then, time flies. Loved the monologue and everything.

"World Wide Pants" in Maggie's blocks in the Simpsons bit. 😆

This was the last good late night show to exist. Glad Dave still does stuff on his channel and great beard too Dave! You're missed big time!

Live music died the last night of Letterman show has it been the same since. So many wonderful bands have been on that show nowadays late night just massively depressive....

What a stellar opening segment and ending with President Obama’s sly sense of humor.

then, 2016: our NEW national nightmare has begun!

Loved David

He is my favorite late night host of all time creepy and corny but the best.

David & his dorky light-colored shoes! 😮 😅😅😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 🎉 ❤

Apparently Dave's apparition now haunts Stephen Colbert staff members at the Ed Sullivan Theatre. But wait?

Wow! That happened 9 years ago tonight. That was funny and emotional. Am I right?

i have a vhs video tape cassette of all the guest bands. it was made on 2 vhs video cassette recorders vcr machines. with T-160 tapes.

He is greatly missed.

Last time Dave had to shave

Jimmy Carter was the only living president not in the opening bit

❤❤❤

i honestly gave up watching late night tv after dave retired. i did stay to the end with craig ferguson,but that was just dessert. dave was always the main course.

@letterman Could you also upload Letterman's last top 10 list?

Dave was so out of the ordinary that his last show was on a Wednesday...

Dave, give me a thumbs up if you really read these. (Modern day "Viewer Mail".) I'll be watching for it.

I cried at the end of this show and my girlfriend at the time made fun of me.

The last top ten list on letterman

And starting 5/21/2015, the massive beard growing began.

PANTS! Forever!!

The only good tv show. I do miss it. ❤

We need him to come back to do one show a week like Jon Stewart has! He can do Fridays and Colbert can stick to Monday-Thursday

and the Letterman KZfaq long global nightmare has only begun

I have mixed emotions about seeing that again.

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

What an awful year 2015 was...... we lost having Letterman every night and got the Orange-man every day and night instead.

😭😭😭

Wait! He's retired!?

Did he get the tonight show though?

sad to see him with all the presidents

It's been 9 years since this was broadcast....this explains what happened. I never knew. I had not noticed he was gone.

Still gets me 😢

umm...you know Colbert has a Friday slot open

Hiiiii dear dave ❤❤❤❤❤

The Late Show died on that day.

Weird to see "older-Dave-sans-beard"

It got hard so Dave quit!

Thank you David Letterman for providing us🤔ok er good entertainment.😂 Thank you!👏👏
