Late Night with David Letterman

From TeeVeePedia, the Internet TV Encyclopedia.

Spinning out of Late Night with Conan O'Brien, Late Night with David Letterman is the longest-running talk show ever. Hosted by David Letterman, the show has racked up more ratings and more money than Howard Stern will ever see in his lifetime.

Notable for including Tom Cruise's second-ever rampage (the first happened on Oprah), Late Night has been known as the most controversial talk show on CBS, which isn't saying much.
