See, I'm used to the whiskerless shot of him (which is in his G+ profile). 
Should one look on, say, LinkedIn, they'd see one similar to this from 
Jeopardy.

Apropos of the original subject, the CBS Store 

 
(link) page with what's left of LS-insignia merch still thinks the final 
show is yet to be...

Have they replaced (or covered) the marquee yet?

Yes, they ask him about Spinal Tap... and playing with the surviving Beatles...

[TV orNotTV] Re: Late show finale

[Bob Jersey]

*Billboard*, possibly a lit-tle late, sent me its interview with Paul S. 

 
(link)...

Oddly, the highlights in the accompanying video all came from NBC, yet are 
labelled as "Late Show..."

Yes, they ask him about *Spinal Tap*... and playing with the surviving 
Beatles... and he teases something he's doing this winter...

If CBS had a sense of humor, they'd get Simon Baker to V/O a throw to
Corden after "The Mentalist." Or Tim Kang, at least.

[TV orNotTV] Re: Late show finale

[Michael]

I thought the whole thing was a very classy and uplifting way to wrap the 
show. There was no obvious rancor, nor regret - just pride and good 
feelings and first-rate clip packages. I remember watching the Christmas 
kids interview when it first aired, and how much my significant other and I 
laughed at the frustrated little boy busting Dave with "You are not, you 
are not, you are not funny" to the tune of "Jingle Bells." The bit is still 
hilarious and is sure to be so down the line. In the aftermath, I'll just 
say that it was more than difficult to hear the local CBS news-team throw 
to "Crimetime After Primetime - Mark 2" with "The Mentalist" on Thursday 
and Friday. Bring on Colbert.

What struck me was that, after that wonderful build up, when Dave thanked 
him, Paul immediately turned the attention back to the band, giving them 
another round of applause after they had just gotten recognition by Dave as 
individual band members.  Such a classy thing for Mr. Shaffer to do, and I 
wish I had connections that would allow me to meet him just to be able to 
tell him that.

I'm no expert, but I think the standard contracts allow for rebroadcast.
The legal problems come with other media, like DVDs, which is where those
demands kick in. Even now, production companies will save a few bucks by
not licensing music rights for DVDs before it's obvious that they'll be
successful enough to make that an issue.

The harder part for Kevin's network (an interesting idea) would be dealing
with all the material that was topical at the time. Johnny's jokes about
Earl Butz don't resonate much any more, even among people who remember him.

For those who like the vintage Dave silliness, I'd commend to your
attention his final episode of Late Night, if it is available on the Tube
of You. It has the visit to GE HQ, a montage of Dave getting dunked in
things, Larry Bud Melman, and easily his best interview with Tom Hanks.
I've rewatched it today after watching the Late Show finale, and it holds
up well.

As for the serious stuff, it is d*mned hard to rewatch the post 9/11 show
or the Carson tribute, even though I'd rank those among Dave's most
memorable, just because you can feel the collective sadness. But I watch
the Zevon episode from time to time, whenever I am having a self-pity party
and need to be reminded how to endure pain in a dignified way. That show is
the epitome of the show business axiom, "the show must go on." The cracking
voice as Zevon sings "Mutineer"... gives me chills every time.

Kevin - I really wish you had been able to produce the prime time special
they had for Dave a couple of weeks ago, because it was precisely the kind
of juxtaposition you capture above that I found missing there. When they
focus just on the Ed Ames type moments, Dave's career can stand with other
Late Night Hosts - but what put him on an entirely different playing field
was his ability to do the more thoughtful, sustained, serious pieces as
well. As I have been thinking about it more and more since Dave announced
his end date, that Warren Zevon show just grows more and more in its
central important, not just for Dave, not just for late night, but for a
shining example of what television of any kind can be at its best.

Re: [TV orNotTV] Re: Late show finale

[Kevin M.]

I just watched it. I suppose there were things I'd do differently (no
Baldwins, for example) but he went out with a smile, perhaps more of a
smile than when either Carson or Leno said their farewells. Some of the
clips of vintage Dave made me think -- as I often think with classic Carson
-- that there has to be a way to repurpose those moments, via social media
or the Tube of You or elsewhere, to introduce Dave to future generations.
Because I doubt you could explain to kids today that the guy who recently
interviewed President Obama once dropped himself into a giant bowl of milk
while clad in nothing but Rice Krispies. And I also doubt that you could
explain a TV series capable of dropping gallons of paint off the roof of a
theater (just for a cheap visual gag) is the same series where a terminally
ill musician can tell us all to "enjoy every sandwich."

I still say I'll continue to miss Johnny more than Dave, but I suspect if I
was neutral about it, Johnny stayed a little longer than he should have,
whereas Dave left precisely when he needed to. As the media shifts, Dave
didn't need to take part in that shift -- frankly, it would be beneath him
to try.

In my perfect world of 500 channels that actually feature unique branding
and unique programing, I see a channel devoted to the lost art of the talk
and variety show. A channel where Ed Sullivan, Jack Paar, Tom Snyder, Dick
Cavett, Johnny Carson, Milton Berle, Jackie Gleason, Sid Caesar, Carol
Burnett, Rowan & Martin, the Smothers Brothers, and the original "not ready
for prime time" players could live on. Letterman's work is a worthy
addition to that fictional channel. Somebody needs to turn that fiction
into reality.

[TV orNotTV] Re: Late show finale

[Diner]

The overnight ratings are in: Dave's last show drew 13.7 million viewers. 
It's his fourth highest rated show ever, and his biggest audience since 
February 1994 (in his sixth month at CBS). But just like most nights during 
the intervening 21 years, he got beaten by Leno: Jay's farewell show last 
year drew 14.6 million viewers.

Much like the "Rupert highlights" from the night before, which, as always,
left me hating pranks and thinking Dave was an asshole.

Here's hoping Colbert brings conversation back to late-night. He might be
the only person who could.

Yes, the whole show was great. (Except for the smug and nasty Taco Bell 
bit, which I hated then and hate now.)
 
I watched the show on DVR this morning. Here's what I posted on Facebook 
afterwards:
 

You know, I got tired of David Letterman years ago. In the eighties I loved 
him. But by the late nineties, I'd had enough. Enough of his crankiness, 
his obvious boredom at having to do yet another episode with guests he 
didn't care about, the repetitive and nasty jokes, the skits he hadn't 
bothered to rehearse, you name it. I watched a lot more Tonight Shows (both 
Leno and Fallon) over the past twenty years than Late Shows, and I don't 
regret it. When I go to bed at night, I want to be entertained, not 
aggravated. And watching his shows over the last couple weeks has reminded 
me of everything I love about him and everything I hate about him.

But when he thanked Paul Shaffer on his last show, I cried. And when the 
closing credits rolled, I wept like a freakin' baby.

I wish he could do another thirty years. 
#thanksdave
