FTA-TV Late Shows - Mega Thread

[JUBJUB]

Surely he has Bill Murray on as one of his final guests?

Always a quality show when he's on.

Tom Hanks & Eddie Vedder are on the ep that airs in Aus on Tuesday and Bill Murray & Bob Dylan are on Wednesday.
No announcement as to who'll be on the finale which Ten are showing at 10pm Thursday.

Last nights ep was very funny.Al Pacino walks out and wants to help with the Top Ten,George Clooney handcuffed himself to Dave and threw the key into the audience,meaning when Tom Waits came out to be interviewed George had to sit on a stool beside Dave

 

[Vincent Chase]

Cheers JUBJUB.

Glad they've moved the last few to a reasonable hour.

According to articles I've read Murray is the final guest. CBS say the final episode "will be an hour filled with surprises [and] memorable highlights.”

Well Murray is on the second last ep so as not to confuse people

 

[Atavistic]

Jimmy Fallon is always indulging himself in some long-winded name-dropping anecdote which makes for very awkward watching. I get it, you know lots of famous people, Jimmy.

great article

 

[JP Sauce]

Loving Dave's final shows. He's been below his best for years now but it'll be very strange when he's gone.

That song was the best thing Sandler has done for 20 years!

Looks like Eleven are starting to show James Corden starting midnight sunday.I'm guessing it might be friday in the USA ep.

 

[ManWithNoName]

Here's a really great article about Dave, some of his best moments, and his legacy. Well worth a read. Will be weird knowing Letterman isn't on anymore, even though I haven't watched it for years, it's just always been there.

Still remember staying up for it when it was on after Sports Tonight

 

[Registered User]

Yep, Norm MacDonald getting a little emotional was a surprise. In fact, I wasn't sure if he was takin' the piss.

Finale tomorrow night (as others have said), and Bill Murray is meant to be on tonight

Surely Marv Alpert has to be up there for most appearances

Andy Kindler, 31 (who?)

Andy Kindler is the guy they often send to events,like they do with Biff Henderson

Chris 'Mad Dog' Russo, 16 (never heard of him)

Hosts a radio sports show in the USA.I find him annoying on Letterman as he just doesn't stop yapping

Can't be a complete list. Brian Regan isn't on there and a week or so ago he did his 28th appearance or something.

 

[Warsaw]

Paris Hilton, 13

 

[JUBJUB]

Paris Hilton, 13

She was that many times ?
Must've had a lot of products to flog,unless of course one was promoting her "movie"

 

[Registered User]

I left out a few musos and stand-ups who I've never heard of, along with some of the "actors" who did the skits.
Yeah, Brian Regan, 30 episodes

Look out! It's scheduled to be on at 10pm tonight

 

[Lethal]

Like this tribute from Conan.


Also he let everyone know when Lettermans final show was starting so they could turn over.

 

[Lethal]

Video of Conan telling viewers to change the channel.

[Hawks1523]

Both Conan and Kimmel telling their viewers to watch letterman. Nice touch

 

[raven echo]

Definitely wasn't this much outpouring of good will either time Leno retired, was there?
