$400 million David Letterman's net worth is estimated to be $400 million in 2025. This wealth comes from his successful career in television hosting, syndication deals, and production ventures. Throughout his career, he has made strategic financial decisions, including investments in real estate and stocks. ComingSoon.net +4

“David Letterman’s net worth is estimated to be $400 million”

****** This clown can easily keep Colbert on the air by paying CBS 40 million yearly out of his vast fortune. Put yer money where your big fat mouth is Dave! Talk is cheap!
There are tons of liberal billionaires who can help out/donate to keep the Colbert show up n running. Same for PBS and NPR!

because he was 'always shooting his mouth off' about Donald Trump

Which is why nobody watched him, which is why the advertisers bailed, which is why the show was cancelled.

So, yes - Trump's fault.

‘Hey boys, here’s what we’re gonna do: not only are we gonna get rid of that guy, we’re gonna get rid of the entire franchise so you don’t have to worry about another guy. It’s gone,’ Letterman said.

———————————————

I think Dave is more angry about “Late Night” being cancelled than Colbert being fired. Dave should blame Colbert…..Im quite sure Dave didnt spend every night doing the same schtick as the other late night hosts bashing the sitting President and hosting folks that all did the same bashing.

Faux fury- they aren’t willing to pony up and pay the $40 million in losses that the show was garnering because of the lame humor-deprived colbert. So his opinion is worth spit.

“...Hey boys, here’s what we’re gonna do: not only are we gonna get rid of that guy, we’re gonna get rid of the entire franchise...”

Letterwoman is starting to realize that excruciating pain is coming his way, much more. The elimination of scumbag Colbert is just the beginning. The leftwing a$$wipes that have been in control of ALL the broadcast networks for 50 years is finally ending. First PBS and NPR, next to go is the print media.

It’s the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine!

Just wait until Skydance figures out the entire CBS News operation is a big money-loser and pulls the plug. You ain’t heard nothing yet.

Maybe if he was half as funny as Letterman he wouldn’t have been canceled.

I dumped TV in 1997. At the time, my favorite late night personality was David Letterman. In fact he ended up being the only one I watched. That was when he had dark hair.

Typical. This is why I started calling him “Bitterman” 20 years ago. He’s always angry and bitter instead of funny or entertaining. This started about 25 years ago.

David Letterman backed his successor Stephen Colbert and suggested CBS canceled The Late Show because he was 'always shooting his mouth off' about Donald Trump

Dave looks like Santa Claus, so why not act like him and send CBS 40 million a year to keep Colbert and company afloat. Help out the homeless Colbert show and the 100 people working on it. Who will soon be fruitlessly pounding the pavement.

I doubt that Dave--much like most of America--has ever actually watched Colbert's show.

Letterman was actually funny and entertaining in the 20th century. Be became....or revealed himself to be....an extremely bitter hard left c*** after around 2005. Remember when he spewed a bunch of laughable leftist Bullshit at Sara Palin in 2007?

The petulant child revealed himself after he was denied the “Throne” at NBC.

He sold his soul to Orcah to get her to make an appearance on his show. He had been trying for years - he was never the same after that.

“Letterman was actually funny and entertaining in the 20th century. Be became....or revealed himself to be....an extremely bitter hard left c*** after around 2005.”

He was very good with great musical guests. Paul Schaffer was always super-charged and had the music cracking.
Dave’s repartee with guests was witty, and they all would kill to be on his late-nite show. Up coming movies got publicized on this show.

If you were a tourist, it was a major score to get tix to the Letterman show.

“nd the 100 people working on it.”

I thought the staff for Colbert was 200 pax.
