I love the fact that they’re sort of interviewing each other. It’s a masterclass of late night television.

[@avisitorhere]

Seth throws on a suit and gets his hair done for Dave. That's a real fan boy

[@JohnDrummondPhoto]

"She died doing what she loved: sleeping" 😂😂🤣

[@jeancameron9474]

I can't describe my love for David Letterman. All the years of laughter on his wonderful show. It was a joy.♥️

[@JeffMartinEquinox]

I remember as a kid staying up late past Johnny Carson to watch Letterman, he was so funny and different. Wearing the wrestling shoes, the top 10 lists, the music, stupid pet tricks, stupid human tricks, interviewing various local businesses, .... all great stuff. Would get in trouble half the time for staying up so late.

Dave's shock at Seth not having an Animal Guy.

[@marjieestivill]

My pet snapping turtle and I auditioned for Letterman’s Stupid Pet Tricks. What a memory, about 70 people with all kinds of weird critters sitting in line, showing off their tricks. By the time most of us got on stage, our pets were totally overfed and apathetic during the taping…and my comatose turtle and I were shown on the local news that night, with me dangling a nightcrawler and begging him to sit up (he was able to stand on his back legs, balancing on his long tail as a tripod.) I adore Dave. He used to be the Indianapolis weatherman before he got famous…

Letterman is a comedy wizard.He’s just funny and just a good dude

[@jam1870utube]

David Letterman, Comedian, talk show extraordinaire and unintentional inventor of competitive hatchet throwing leagues. He's my talk show GOAT. 🐐

[@sderoski1]

Dave helped so many musical performers be seen and heard. Thanks, Dave!

[@ichrisho]

Classy that Seth wore a suit to meet Dave - props.

[@Kaisersozze]

Dave is killing it with his style ever since he retired.

[@AD-fx2qd]

No one will ever come close to Dave. Truly the GOAT of late night television. Still kills me to this day. Funniest dude.

[@shokmail3875]

Omg two legends reminiscing. It does not get better than this. Letterman remains an epic comic genius! Thank u Seth for making this happen.

[@sneifert1968]

I can never un-hear the phrase, “crystal meth Santa Clause” every time I see a Letterman interview.😂

[@sharongarrett4356]

There are no words to express how much this man's existence meant to my growing up. From throwing things off a roof to the velcro wall, to all the crazy animal visits and nutty guests, from "Just Lamps" to "Just Bulbs" and the Hello Deli, and of course, so, SO many incredible musical guests I would not otherwise have known & loved , his show enhanced my life remarkably much. Always funny, never unprofessional, an Aries with a bad neck, much beloved, this man. Thank you much Seth for the way you fill those shoes each night, and for putting on a suit for this treasured soul. ❤

[@ericgen5022]

Dave comes on shows and becomes the interviewer. And he always seems to do it in a respectful, complimentary way. He now honors other people.

[@stevepatrickjarvis]

I am glad Letterman is still around.

[@JacobElyachar]

David Letterman will always be my all-time favorite Late Night host! However, Late Night with Seth Meyers is my favorite Late Night show of this era!! Congratulations to Seth, Amber, Jenny, and the entire ‘Late Night with Seth Meyers’ crew and creative team for reaching 10 years!!!

[@shelleymartin1451]

Oh, respect. Seth is dressed up for David.
