It's the end of an era. The only host left I like is Jimmy

Wow I've never seen him get emotional

aww

noooooo, letterman

That's his idol

Seriously though Letterman's been on air since '82. His first late night show actually started in 1980, but was short-lived.

It's like the second or the third time I saw Jimmy's holding back tears on the show. First when he gave some gifts to a girl. Cmiiw.

It's so touching.

I've never really liked Letterman he's a little much like when he dragged Lindsay

But jes a legend nonetheless

He literally broke down when his uncle passed, its really sad to watch I got teary eyed

That's what made him special, he didn't kiss anyone's ass if he didn't like them ( check Justin Bieber on 2013 or his iconic Paris Hilton interview)

Poor Paris! She was there to promote ha perfume and he dragged her. He was always bitter.
