this morning i wake up and next to me in bed is the head of a peacock. so i don t know. broadway s ed sullivan theater. it s a marvelous, wonderful edifice, and we couldn t be happier to be here. august 1993. the thing more than anything else, it was the double balcony, and it was enormous. ladies and gentlemen, we have a wonderful program tonight, bill murray, billy joel. dave s first night on a new network. welcome broadway, baby. in a new time slot. when the dust of the late night war settled, jay leno had the tonight show and dave had a multimillion-dollar deal with cbs. it was a risky move. cbs did not have anything in their history of late night. so letterman comes on, and his first few months on the air was absolute can t-miss television. it s a joke, okay? it is me, you jerk.

he s still different than anybody else, even though he seems a little more angry than he used to be. my first experience with letterman is when i interned at nbc. i got a chance to interview him for my senior project in college, and he was able to talk to me about the history of late night, and he said on tape with my $3 recorder, i have no interest in ever hosting an 11:30 show. i love my basement operation. that was 35 years ago. you have aged well. not really. but thank you for saying that. so letterman, in terms of being a cutting-edge host, what do you think? i like him, but he s not my favorite because i love jay leno and i love jimmy kimmel. i love those two guys, but he s obviously very talented. he s a witty guy, but i don t know. he was never my dude. i think he s realizing he was going to get his butt kicked by kimmel and fallon.
