TL;DR Summary

David Letterman made a triumphant return to "The Late Show" after more than eight years since signing off as host, receiving a grand standing ovation from the audience. His successor, Stephen Colbert, introduced him with great enthusiasm, and Letterman joked about causing trouble. During the interview, Colbert asked if there was someone Letterman could talk to about the "weird job" of hosting a late-night show, to which Letterman replied that he felt "orphaned" in the talk show world. The night ended with a heartfelt performance by The National, and Letterman expressed his love for the band and the Foo Fighters, who appeared on his final episode. This was Letterman's first return to the show he launched in 1993.
