David Letterman has announced he will be retiring from Late Show with David Letterman in 2015. During Thursday’s show, the funnyman revealed he spoke with CBS President and CEO Leslie Moonves of his retirement.
“The man who owns this network, Leslie Moonves, he and I have had a relationship for years and years and years, and we have had this conversation in the past, and we agreed that we would work together on this circumstance and the timing of this circumstance. And I phoned him just before the program, and I said ‘Leslie, it’s been great, you’ve been great, and the network has been great, but I’m retiring.’ We don’t have the timetable for this precisely down — I think it will be at least a year or so, but sometime in the not too distant future, 2015 for the love of God, in fact, Paul and I will be wrapping things up.”
Letterman had been on the air for 22 years and follows Jay Leno’s departure just a few weeks ago.
