David Letterman to retire in 2015. Stephen Colbert to take over.

Okay people, this is like the fourth time someone's posted about this now. Yes, we know they're throwing most of the set in the trash!

 

Making money in the entertainment biz. Shocking. I say get it while you can and don't piss it away like so many do.

 

As do his 37 ex-wives.

 

Maybe it'll come back someday like this:

 

I was thinking of this last night.
Dave , comes back the unrated version.
I find it very stupid of CBS, to not want auction some this stuff off.
for some kind of charity? I don't get the hurry of tearing up the set ?
Is Colbert,? some kind of golden god?
I will laugh if Colbert fails? and finally CBS will have egg on there face.

 

Very stupid. If I was Harry I'd want that bridge for my matchbox cars. How cool would that be?

 

Those pants are doing something wonky to my computer screen.

 

Sets like this are not worth keeping. It's not valuable aide for some Letterman nerd to costly and tine consuming to sell off unless one company came in to but it all to resell.

Colbert will do just fine and deserves an entirely new set.

 

Wasn't that the main impetus behind that 80s show Max Headroom? At least I think I remember that the pilot episode revolved around the fact that peoples' heads were exploding because a TV commercial's cuts were so fast!

Sorry- back to Dave!

Yeah those high speed montages make me nervous. I guess it's a ruse to get you to go to CBS.com to spend some time and pause it.

 

Looks like the Foo Fighters gave him a custom FF shirt with his face on it.

 

Yeah I'm sure Harry is hurting for toys

 

As opposed to the alternative?

 

Colbert needs a new set because his old one was auctioned off for charity (should have done it with Dave's)

Of course they would build colbert a new set. It's a different show.

 

I loved Larry's radio show on Mutual from 1978 to 1994. He was MUCH better on radio than he ever was on TV.

 

from TMZ...

David Letterman's former employees didn't walk away empty-handed this week -- he dropped thousands of dollars hooking them up with ... wait for it ... custom-made letterman's jackets.

Letterman's final gift to his staff have the words, "Thank you and good night" scrawled across the front. Dave scooped up more than 200 of them ... according to the owner of Golden Bear Sportswear.

Dave's been buying staff swag from GBS for 15 years, and the owner tells us they were contacted last winter, after Letterman announced his retirement plan. She says Dave designed the jacket as a final gift.

GBS wouldn't divulge exactly how much Letterman spent, but the jackets run AT LEAST $300 each ... so you do the math.

Safe to say, Dave can afford it.

Those are pretty hideous.

 

This is pretty good.

Don't worry about Colbert. He is going to do great.

 

I remember seeing that when it aired. Makes me miss Dave. It's going to be strange for awhile.

 

Plug should have been pulled a LONG time ago.

 

Didn't see that one coming.

 

I remember it as well. But to your point of it being strange at 11:35, I agree. I certainly wasn't a rabid Dave watcher over the past many years, at least he was there when I wanted to watch after the late news. Not now. I have to choose between the two Jimmy's?! What choices. I chose Kimmel last night because at least I know he won't make the guests act like monkeys and perform for the owner. It's just not the same at 11:35 anymore, let alone at 12:35.
