David Letterman: “I’m Still Here!”
With all the hoopla surrounding Conan O’Brien’s takeover of Jay Leno’s spot at The Tonight Show on NBC, David Letterman worked hard to remind us that he’s still here!
“I’m still here,” Letterman said in his opening monologue over at CBS Monday night. “I knocked off another competitor.”
He said he had the strangest day starting off with a morning call from his mom who knocked him for losing Leno’s gig to Conan. “She said, ‘Well, David, I see you didn’t get The Tonight Show again’,” Letterman said in a reference to losing out to Leno to become Johnny Carson’s successor.
Letterman’s monologue was classic!
