David Letterman's Final 'Late Show' Date Announced

12/12/2014
. (Radio.com) David Letterman will sign off as host of the Late Show on May 20, according to CBS and Letterman's production company, Worldwide Pants Incorporated.

"David Letterman has given to all of us a remarkable legacy of achievement and creative brilliance that will never be forgotten," CBS Corporation president and CEO Leslie Moonves said in a press statement. "It's going to be tough to say goodbye, but I know we will all cherish the shows leading up to Dave's final broadcast in May."

In April, Letterman announced that he was retiring after more than 30 years as a late-night host (oddly, the news was broken by former R.E.M. member Mike Mills who attended Letterman's pre-taped show that day and then tweeted about it). Soon after he broke the news, Stephen Colbert was named his Late Show successor. Read more here.
