Perhaps surprisingly, Letterman even joined the chorus clamoring for less homogeny in the late-night landscape, seeming disappointed The Late Show didn’t replace him with a female host: I’m happy for the guys – men and women – there should be more women. And I don’t know why they didn’t give my show to a woman.
Anyone following David Letterman (and his giant beard)’s post-retirement from The Late Show can’t help a smile at the veteran comic’s irreverent outlook.
Asked if he missed being on CBS night after night, Letterman offered (via Entertainment Weekly): You know, I don’t.
To wit, Letterman reveals in a new interview that he “couldn’t care less” about Stephen Colbert’s new Late Show, or any other series out there, wondering why the job didn’t go to a female host.
