Letterman marks 30th anniversary in late night

Paul — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 13:01:15 +0000

David Letterman celebrates his 30th anniversary in late night tomorrow (1st February).

Letterman started his late night talk show career at NBC on the 1st February 1982 hosting Late Night With David Letterman which aired after The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson.

He then left NBC when he didn’t get The Tonight Show hosting job (which of course as we all know went to Jay Leno).

His CBS talk show the Late Show With David Letterman was brought on air on the 30th August 1993 and has run alongside NBC rival show The Tonight Show With Jay Leno ever since (apart from the short stint where Conan O’Brien took over The Tonight Show from Jay).

NY Daily News reports “statisticians at CBS say that by Wednesday, Letterman will have hosted 5,443 shows and welcomed 17,904 guests in three decades”.

To mark the special event friend of the show (and radio broadcaster) Howard Stern will be a guest on the Late Show tomorrow night. This will mark Howard’s 41st appearance on a Letterman show (his 21st appearance on CBS’s Late Show).

Another friend of the show Bill Murray will stop by on tonight’s show (31st January).

NY Daily News – “Howard Stern joins David Letterman as he marks 30th year in late-night TV land”

Letterman and Ferguson in talks to stay with CBS to 2014

Paul — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 12:09:49 +0000

David Letterman looks set to renew his deal at CBS to keep him with the network through 2014. If this new CBS deal were to go through he would surpass his idol Johnny Carson’s 30-year run on late night TV.

The New York Times reports “according to executives who have been involved in discussions with Mr. Letterman’s production company, Worldwide Pants, a deal to remain on the air until 2014 is imminent. The executives said that CBS had authorized the company to make new agreements with the key members of Mr. Letterman’s staff, his producers and writers”.

It was thought Letterman would step down from the Late Show when his current contract runs out in August this year, but he’s made indications to people on the show that he wants to stay hosting the programme for a while longer.

Craig Ferguson, who hosts the Late Late Show every night following the Late Show, is also thought to be staying with CBS. The Drum says “The Scottish Daily Mail reports that Ferguson, who already earns more than £8million a year, could be involved in a ‘double the money’ multi-million pound deal”.

Ferguson would have to be happy staying in the 12.35am timeslot until 2014 though if he decides to stay at CBS hosting the Late Late Show. Also, there’s the possibility that Letterman changes his mind and leaves in August 2012 after all.

The New York Times reports Craig “does have a clause in his contract that would guarantee him the 11:35 show if Mr. Letterman chose to step down”.

The New York Times – “Deal Would Lead Letterman to a Late-Night Milestone”
