    Thanks for everything Dave.

    I loved Letterman going back to the 1980s. The Top Ten Lists, Late Night Monkey Cam, Paul and the band, everything. I had watched the final episode of The Tonight Show With Johnny Carson and knew what Johnny meant and what he had accomplished, but to me he represented a previous era. I didn't have the emotional connection with Johnny that I did with Dave. Watching this show, particularly the great final Top Ten List, was emotional for me. The part that really hit me was when Dave was introducing the CBS Orchestra for the last time ever. Then Foo Fighters played "Everlong" to close things out in style. Thanks for the memories Dave. Oh, and definitely read Jason Zinoman's "Letterman: The Last Giant of Late Night."

      David Letterman: Alright, that's pretty much all I got. The only thing I have left to do, for the last time on a television program: Thank you, and good night.
