David Letterman returned to the ‘Late Show’…to a standing ovation.
The former late-night talk show host was back at the historic Ed Sullivan Theater in New York City Monday night for the first time as a guest on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.’
When the enthusiastic audience gave him a standing ovation Letterman was touched but joked around with Colbert:
“What happened? What are they doing now? Is there going to be trouble?” Letterman said. “Stephen, control your people.”
He also shared what he misses about hosting the show.
“I miss everything, I mean mostly. It’s fun,” he said. “Very few things in life provide one the opportunity. And I can’t speak for you or to you on this topic, but for me, if you muck one up, 24 hours later you get to try again.”
