23 Important Moments From David Letterman's Last "Late Show"

    A look back at 33 years in late night.

    A powerhouse Top Ten list.

    Where Tina Fey brought the realness.

    And Julia Louis-Dreyfus delivered the ultimate Seinfeld burn.

    While Jerry Seinfeld was in the room.

    A look inside Dave's creative process.

    Lots of old graphics,

    Classic shots of Dave in his letterman jacket,

    Old sets inside the Ed Sullivan theater,

    And reminders of when Dave's show was Late Night instead.

    A lot of old-school Dave outfits.

    And vintage Paul.

    The last monologue.

    And the last of Dave's monologue gags.

    A Simpsons homage.

    A shout-out to his wife and son, Harry.

    And an audience zoom-in that perhaps neither were expecting.

    A sentimental moment of gratitude.

    ...Which he followed up with this:

    Dave gave thanks to the band,

    To Biff Henderson,

    To Alan Kalter,

    And gave all the props to his band leader of 33 years, Paul Schaffer.

    He finally signed off and kicked it over to the Foo Fighters...

    Who played the crap out of "Everlong."

    And we saw the final shot of the Late Show as we knew it.
