Everyone has a purpose in life. Perhaps yours is watching television.

- David Letterman

David Letterman has been beamed into our living rooms at prime time for the past twenty five years. He began with Late Night with David Letterman in 1982 and then in its present avatar - The Late Show with David Letterman from 1993. Both the shows were on NBC. He was in running for the spot on The Tonight Show that Johnny Carson was going to leave vacant. Letterman eventually lost out to Jay Leno.

Letterman's act consists of some gags and jokes featuring contemporary issues. He is famous for his hilarious potshots at politicians and actors. Later guests are interviewed. Most of the guests are actors or singers. Controversial episodes have involved Madonna, Drew Barrymore and Courtney Love. When Martha Stewart was cooking on the show, Letterman tried his best to fluster her with his antics.

Letterman brought his team of heart surgeons on the show and referred to one of them as Michelangelo with a bone saw.
