I'm not convinced that that's really him.

Maybe he doesn't want to be bothered so much when he's out in public, and he went with the bald head bearded look so he's not that easily recognized.

To my Letterman trained eye, that's him. Plus I first found the story at my other TV board, and I trust their Letterman knowledge too.

Maybe he wants to look like a creepy old man now so people will stay away from him.

He could also be doing his REM's Michael Stipe impersonation:

Did he have the gap in his teeth filled?

David Letterman and Jon Stewart have retirement beards, while Jay Leno is clean-shaven. "It is,” says Dan Zak, "a biological reaction to a lifetime of performing under intense scrutiny. Letterman’s face is saying, less than a year after his final show, that it is free."
