The War for Late Night (Letterman Tribute #1)
David Letterman has begun his victory lap. Thirty-three years in late night television comes to an end on Wednesday, May 20th. Between now and then, I'll link to my favorite moments from both of Letterman's shows. The first is a series of "desk chats" from 2010 (totaling approximately half an hour in length) after NBC's decision to move Jay Leno onto the nightly prime-time lineup blew up spectacularly in the networks' face. I'm currently re-reading Bill Carter's book "The War for Late Night" and started jonesing to watch these. The series of clips boasts the finest of Dave's Leno impressions, possibly the best seen on television since Chris Elliott.(See what I did there? Bonus clip.)
