Read an oral history of May 20, 2015, David Letterman's final night in his 33-year career as a late-night host. "We started to work ahead a little bit on the last show. Everybody wanted to have a piece of that action," former writer Steve Young tells LateNighter. "We wrote well ahead of time. I wrote a couple pages. Bill Scheft wrote a couple pages. Old times: staffers and former monologue writers submitted jokes." ALSO: Paul Shaffer marks 10-year anniversary: "We haven’t changed a bit LOL!" (https://www.instagram.com/p/DJ4Oz07ACWz/?hl=en)
