Late Show with David Letterman
On CBS
A high-energy, irreverent late-night talk show built on recurring comedic bits and celebrity interviews, designed as a reliable, rewatchable comfort format.
David Letterman uses mature humor to appeal to his audience in this weeknight series, which gets its music from a house band led by Paul Shaffer. Among the show's most-famous segments are the Top Ten List and Stupid Pet Tricks, the latter of which subsequently led to an additional recurring segment called Stupid Human Tricks.
