    I just watched the recent episode where Dave came back to be a guest on the Late Show. Steven showed that selfie, and they took another one. It was a fantastic episode, I had goosebumps when Dave came out on stage. I'm so glad Steven has been carrying the torch of the Late Show greats so well.

    Stephen Colbert has had the best transition replacing a major network late night TV show host and David Letterman has had the absolute best post retirement of any major network late night TV show host. Both have excelled in the things that they have chosen to do since then and audiences are enjoying so much good content. I'm so glad that Letterman is welcome on all of the various programs and podcasts while still killing it at the content he chooses to produce. Colbert has managed to stay at or near the top of the fray in terms of creative output and ratings while maintaining good relations with his peers.
