DAVID LETTERMAN – AGE 74

David Letterman is a notable late-night talk show host and comedian. In the past, he worked as a newscaster and announcer at student-run audio in the Ball States. However, he lost his job for making jokes about classical music. Being on the news did not just go well for him, so his family suggested that he moved to Los Angeles and become a comedy writer. He also began performing stand-up at The Comedy Store. Through there, he made connections and began appearing in small TV shows, acts, and game shows.

Letterman had incredible wit and sarcasm that amazed many talented scouts. Talent agents for The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson found him, and he became Johnny’s favorite immediately. He always gives credit to Johnny for being the biggest influence in his life. Until now, he has no plans on leaving the industry that molded him.
