Stephen Colbert announced on Thursday that former “Late Show” host David Letterman will return to the show on Monday, November 20!
Colbert said, “On Monday, I am so happy to say, I will be joined right there, in that chair, by a man who is no stranger to the Ed Sullivan Theater, though I know for a fact he has not been here for eight-and-a-half years.”
“Because my guest,” he continued, “will be Mr. David Letterman.”
“Boom!” Colbert said, over studio audience applause.
Letterman announced plans to retire from “The Late Show” in April 2014. Letterman told CBS Chairman and CEO Leslie Moonves at the time, “Leslie, it’s been great, you’ve been great, and the network has been great, but I’m retiring.”
This will be good! Don’t miss it!
