    the finale was about as perfect a send off as you can imagine a letterman send off can be. he was who he always was right up until the final "thank you and good night."

    seriously though--the top ten was great. the vignette of a day in the life at the late show was poignant. dave's last speech at the end was very touching. and i love how they did the montage during the foo's song.

    i can't believe it's over. a part of my childhood has rode off into the sunset.

    Just pure class last night. no doubt we are never going to see anything like this again. i loved ever bit and really loved how the end with dave just saying good night. you just knew he didn't really want it to feel like a final show.

    just great, now don't know what to do with myself at 11:35.

    if I had one regret of cancelling my cable last fall, missing these last few weeks was it. I saw some stuff on social media this morning, and I shed a few tears.

    Wasn't a huge fan of late night talk but did enjoy him..he was my choice over Leno..always sux to see a tv legend gone..I would think nearly impossible to stick around that long moving forward.. In any tv/media format..

    I can only imagine how jealous Leno was of all of this. Letterman is vindicated.

    thanks for conan and kimmel clips, they are awesome.
    for 5 yrs of my life back around college, Letterman was the only tv show I cared about, I would not miss it.
    I miss those days.
    The worst of times..they don't phase me,
    even if I look and act really crazy.

    I never understood the draw of Leno. I think he won the ratings battle simply because he pandered to his guests and people remained loyal, for whatever reason, to Carson's show.

    I found Leno very unfunny.

    I never understood it either. Letterman was simply better than Leno. I don't know why the ratings didn't show that. But that sentence quoted from the New York Times says it all. Letterman is the king of late night. Leno is an afterthought.
