Need to start watching full shows again, been a long time, although I still record for the music...

Yeah some of the guests this include Travolta, Amy Schumer, Paul Rudd, the Piedmont Bird Callers - wonder if anyone will pick that up, Bruce Willis, Jim Gaffigan, Downey Jr., Elvis Costello, Seinfeld, and Chaka Khan singing Paul's song "It's Raining Men".

I hope Dave asks Travolta about Scientology (I know he won't but one could dream). It's not like it matters at this point.

mwbmis

Dave has been doing a lot of Scientology jokes since Going Clear came out, but Travolta has always been very nice to the show so I would be surprised if he put him on the spot like that.

Throwing Copper

I bet Travolta's handlers will request that Scientology not be brought up at all.

Last night Bruce Willis was on for the 61st time wearing the same outfit that he wore the 1st time back in 1985. They ended with a montage of all the silly stuff he's done for the show through the years.

i recorded it can't wait!

Howard Stern was talking on his show that he wants to be Dave's last guest on his last show, but they didn't go for it. So he will be a guest on the last 2 weeks, but he is always entertaining with Dave as he is one of the few guests that can take over the show and Dave is always uncomfortable about what he'll say next.

mwbmis

Howard is a friend of the show and has been a good guest through the years, but frankly being the final lead guest in David Letterman's long history is a privilidge that he hasn't earned. .

RichC2

Yeah, Stern has been coasting for years.

whotony

I'd be really surprised if the last guest isn't the s@me person who was the first guest twice.

windom

Stern already said he'll be on the May 11th show.

mwbmis

I think the last show should be Murray, Regis, and whichever musical guest that Dave wants to be last.

Anybody read about Letterman's suppose attempt reaching out to Leno to appear on his last show?

joltman

He was on Ferguson's last show and appeared in a bit on Corden's first show, so it wouldn't surprise me if that happened.

CBS will air a 90-minute prime-time special on May 4.

Outgoing Late Show host David Letterman, who will step down on May 20, will be the subject of a 90-minute primetime special celebrating his legendary career.

David Letterman: A Life on Television will air on May 4 and will be hosted by Ray Romano, whose long-running CBS sitcom was produced by Letterman's Worldwide Pants Incorporated.

Spanning all the way back to his days as a weatherman in Indiana, the special will feature highlights from Letterman's best interviews as well as his famous show segments such as the Top Ten List, Stupid Pet and Human Tricks. Some of his most poignant moments from behind the Late Show desk, like his first broadcast after the Sept. 11, 2011 terrorist attacks, will also be included.

Eric F

Nice. I wonder if they'll mention Dave's infamous "mea culpa" when he got caught banging his female underlings.

OldBoy

Just set the DVR. Look forward to this...

Good show tonight with Jerry Seinfeld. Jerry did the stand-up bit from his first appearance 30+ years ago. They talked about how Dave runs across the stage at the open of every show. Biff Henderson clip package.

I would like to see Jay back as a guest before the end, but he should not be on the last show. If Leno is on the last show then the story of Dave leaving is all about their rivalry and events of 20+ years ago. I want Dave's farewell to be about the positive things in his career.

Doubt they would even have her on for a segment, but I would love to see Merrill Markoe on for a long interview.

Eric F

I read The Late Shift a while ago. Some pretty wild stuff was going on. Leno was supposedly hiding in a closet listening to a private meeting of NBC executives.

Throwing Copper

I hope it happens. That would be event television for sure.

Mike86

I wouldn't mind seeing Leno on one of Dave's final shows either. It'd be interesting for sure and a good capper to both their legacies. I don't expect them to fully bury the hatchet but it would be neat to see.

dolphinboy

If it happens, I think they'll try to keep it secret. It's not like the last few shows are going to need any extra promotion and it would be a "big-jaw" dropping moment for late night viewers.

Just as long as it's not the last show or, if it is, doesn't cut into Bill Murray's time.

DaveyJoe

Fuck Leno, the guy will be a douche until the day he dies.
