It’s the end of an era.
Tonight, David Letterman is signing off of late night comedy, and I’m in good company with whom has a feeling of sadness.
I grew up watching Letterman. As it was my life-long dream to live in New York City, I not only loved Dave’s comedy, but I also identified with his love and passion for the city. When I fulfilled that dream of living in NYC, I not only lived close to the Ed Sullivan Theatre, but I worked close by as well.
Dave was the first late night comic back on the air after September 11th. After watching the tragic event implode outside my office window, I shared with America the sadness that was deafening. Dave resurfaced his comedic act with grace and gentility. He came back when he knew America needed a little levity.
His laugh out loud interviews and Stupid Pet Tricks were of course favorites, but it was his Top Ten List that I lived for each night. So I thought today I could pay homage to his Top Ten List with a Top Ten List of my own, with links. Here it goes:
Top Ten Projects Completed by Be Fed Again:

I will sorely miss watching David Letterman every night, but I know his legacy lives on.
David Letterman, my hat is off to you.
