He's so cool. Perhaps some biographical detail is in order. David Letterman is 46. This led to his 1978 debut as a guest on The Tonight Show, followed by 50 turns behind Johnny Carson's desk as guest host. In 1980 he moved to New York and starred in a morning show that was short-lived but paved the way for Late Night with David Letterman, which premiered in 1982.
Letterman lives in Connecticut.
His father, a florist, died in 1973. His mother, a retired church secretary, still lives in Indiana. He remains close with both of his sisters. I was a maniac. From the time I was 6 until I was 16, there wasn't a peaceful minute.
