Only two more episodes of Late Show remain before David Letterman retires, and on Monday’s episode of The Tonight Show, Jimmy Fallon paid tribute to Letterman, the man who changed the face of late-night television.Fallon said, “This show, what late night has become, is a result of [Letterman] playing with the genre and exploring.” He added,”I, like every kid who grew up watching him, will miss him.”
While Fallon used a five-minute segment to remember Letterman, Jimmy Kimmel opted to pay his respects in a different manner: The host of ABC’s late-night program promised that they would not run a new episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live! against Letterman’s farewell Wednesday night.
