Late Show Predictions - An Addendum

In my last post I wrote about David Letterman setting May 20, 2015 as that date for his final "Late Show."

There were be a lot of memorable moments between now and then.  Here are some predictions of things I think will happen between now and then.

• Jay Leno will be a guest.  Jay and Dave started out together on the L.A. comedy scene in the 1970s.  They were good friends until Leno got the nod to take over the "Tonight Show."  That marked one of the longest feuds in the history of television.  I have a feeling that the booking of Leno as a guest will be a huge TV moment.  It will be a huge ratings win for Dave and one that will be talked about for years to come.  
  

• Harry Letterman will make an appearance.  Dave's son is now 11 years old, and from the stories he tells, there is no one that means more to him than his son.  We rarely get to see hm except for an occasional picture that he shows every so often.  I think it would be neat to see the two chat on TV.  
  
  
  
• Bill Murray will be his final guest.  Bill was Dave's first guest on "Late Night" in 1992 and "Late Show" in 1993.  Murray has always been a great guest, and always finds a way to top himself with each new appearance he makes. There is no other guest that could send Dave out in style.  It would be the perfect bookend for Dave's late night career.  
  
  
  
• Dave's final show won't have guests.  I believe that Dave will take a page from Johnny Carson's book and will do his final show by himself.  It will consist of some of his most favorite moments over the years, and it will be a time for him to speak from his heart.  No one on television today can do that quite like Dave.
