1993: 'Late Show with David Letterman' Debuts on CBS
August 30, 2020  | By TV WW  | 82 comments
 
On this day in 1993, David Letterman stepped onto the stage of the Ed Sullivan Theater in New York to host the first episode of his CBS late-night talk show, Late Show with David Letterman.

Letterman's move to CBS from NBC — where he had previously hosted the long-running Late Night with David Letterman — was precipitated by the Peacock network's surprise decision to replace retiring Tonight Show host Johnny Carson with comedian Jay Leno, instead of Letterman, who was Carson's anticipated heir apparent.

The contentious behind-the-scenes battle for the Tonight Show spot that preceded to the Leno announcement fueled a media frenzy that made the late-night war one of the biggest entertainment stories of 1992.

The final episode aired on May 20, 2015.

Whenever you want to contemplate it, the reason that most guys need a purpose in the geographic area is actually easiness. It is somewhat convenient to work almost domestic since it will reduce problems, strains, but also money created by transportation. Prospect that are searhing for activities retaining during my domain is because definitely is nifty to remain dear to home assuming any type of critical internal crisis rears its ugly head. This is certainly to tell you practically of the classic benefits caught up once you have young children.
