Late Show with David Letterman

1993–2015 · 22 seasons

Easy, chatty late-night comfort viewing built on jokes, banter and celebrity small talk.

Overview: 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.
How it feels: Light, satirical, cynical and absurd. Brisk and fine in the background.
About: Media, celebrity, art, friendship
Content: Mild sexual content and language. No violence or gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
