Simply being a guest on David Letterman's show has been a highlight of my career. I never dreamed that I would follow in his footsteps, though everyone in late night follows Dave's lead. I'm thrilled and grateful that CBS chose me. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go grind a gap in my front teeth.

I'm a big Letterman fan.

I take great pride in all the tremendous success we've enjoyed at CBS. And the good news is that I feel even more enthusiastic about what my terrific team and I will accomplish going forward.

'The David Letterman Show' is a show of comedy.

I was really lucky to work at CBS news. I was blessed to be able to live my dream in many ways at CBS news.

David Letterman is the best late-night talk show host right now, hands down, and has been since he first took the desk.

Letterman... he got his problems. We don't get along too well.

I am thrilled to be joining 'CBS News' and to have the opportunity to collaborate with some of our profession's most talented journalists.

I was a huge David Letterman fan, even going back to when he was on NBC. My parents would only let me watch a half hour of television a day, so I would record Letterman the night before and then watch it when I came home from school. That's what made me want to do a T.V. show.
