New York Today: Saying Goodbye to Dave
Good morning on this bright Wednesday.
If somehow you haven’t heard that tonight is the last night of “The Late Show with David Letterman,” we’re breaking it to you.
There have been lots of tributes from comedians and broadcasters already, and think pieces about the changing nature of late-night television.
But we wanted to say farewell to one of the longest-serving talk-show hosts in television history, too.
Mostly, we wanted to pay our respects not because we love David Letterman, even though we do (have you seen his interview with Paris Hilton?), but because he’s made New York a great feature of his show.
His monologue about Sept. 11 reminded us to keep going, and to keep laughing.
And that New York City is the greatest city in the world.
He made our dream of dropping things from the roof onto city sidewalks come true.
He filmed a show at 4 a.m. (our wake-up time here at New York Today) to tell everyone else what the city is like at that hour.
That installment included a live rat-cam (24:20), and a tour of Greenwich Village by the comedian Amy Sedaris.
He always made fun of New York, but in a way that made us laugh at ourselves and with each other.
Gee, we’ll miss you.
