Description:

*Late Night with David Letterman* was a groundbreaking comedy talk show on NBC, running from 1982 to 1993. Hosted by the sharp and funny David Letterman, the hour-long program became the original *Late Night*, consistently delivering laughs, entertainment, and engaging conversations with A-list guests. Letterman's success launched a new generation of hosts. Conan O'Brien followed him to CBS, and in 2009, Jimmy Fallon took over, adding his own distinctive flair to the late-night format. When Fallon moved to *The Tonight Show* in 2014, Seth Meyers continued the legacy of *Late Night* with his quick wit and humor. Across its different versions, *Late Night with David Letterman* and its successors have become a cornerstone of American entertainment, providing viewers with a mix of comedy, insightful interviews, and unforgettable moments that continue to resonate today.
