History

Historical Context

David Letterman transformed late-night television with the debut of "The Late Show" on August 30, 1993, after leaving NBC due to a dispute over hosting "The Tonight Show." CBS invested over $140 million in the show, which quickly attracted millions of viewers. This legacy of political satire continues today, as seen in Seth Meyers' recent Thanksgiving special, reflecting the ongoing tension between comedians and political figures.
