Maybe it's because when I was growing up the TV in my bedroom only got CBS on the rabbit ears, but for me late night tv will always equal David Letterman. I will miss him.
 
Yeah, Top Ten was great. Everything else so far a big swing and a miss.
 
The "kids love me" segment was hilarious, had me rolling. "She already left, Chief!"
 
.-.
The Top Ten list was worth the price of admission. What a collection of talent. Loved the lines from Julia, Chris and Tina the most.
 
Kind of dissed the Foo Fighters clipping over them the whole song, no? Prob my fave Foo song.
 
Seth Meyers is one of the least funny entertainers I've ever seen, I'll never understand his appeal. What on earth happened to Craig Kilborn?

How dare they show fantastically great pictures & clips from a 6,000+ show run for one of the two greatest late night shows of all-time instead of letting us watch a former drummer turned vocalist and guitarist play the best song from the second best band he's ever been in!

Do you think the song might get played a bit more while people watch the clips? It is a huge win for all things battling foo.

Foo Fighters>Nirvana

True Story: So I'm walking from work to meet the frau in front of the hospital (NYP). She comes up to me sort of excited and says there's someone at the entrance and everyone is asking him for autographs. "I think it's Larry King" she says. So I walk with her a bit further and it was David Letterman. I wanted to go up to him and tell him the story but didn't have the heart to embarrass her. In her defense, she's Italian and a scientist, so watching TV is the least of her activities. She wouldn't know Jay Leno form Michael Jordan.

A. Joke works better with 2nd

B. I can see arguing Foo Fighter better catalogue and more listenable nowadays, but for totality and influence anything other than a taste ranking puts Nirvana far ahead. I understand this is what message boards are for though.

C. #30 between Johnny Cash and The Who, unshockingly unranked = Foo

I grew up during the grunge era and love many of those bands, Nirvana just never did it for me. I can see how Nirvana represented teenage angst and Cobain's death was a huge deal I just never like listening to their music.
 
Scottish guy quit the talk show. Did not want to do it anymore. Craig now has a game show he hosts, just like his former costar Drew Carey.
There are 3 SNL guys. Jimmy and Seth plus Conan was an SNL writer.
Not to mention Paul Schaeffer was an SNL alum (music & comedy)

One of the things I will miss from Letterman is the fantastic CBS orchestra and the love for really good music that was shared by Paul & Dave. I never made it to be in the audience, but I've heard it rocked.

I need Colbert to be good. W/o Stewart & Letterman, I will be lost.
Agree this is a good choice.
I assume Colbert will have to go back to pronouncing the "T" at the end of his name.
