Peyton Manning’s first appearance on David Letterman was back when he was still a college student at the University of Tennessee. He has made numerous appearances since then, ranging from talking about how he broke the single season touchdown record to throwing footballs into cabs in New York City.
For the final show, Peyton Manning was a part of the final Top 10. The subject of this final top ten was Things I’ve Always Wanted To Say To Dave. This final list featured ten guests who have made frequent visits to the show. Peyton Manning was joined by special guests such as Chris Rock, Jim Carrey, Tina Fey, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and Jerry Seinfeld. Peyton Manning’s had something very interesting to say to the long time talk show host.
For 22 seasons, David Letterman has brought comedy to late night for all the individuals out there working late and wanting to enjoy some laughs or the night owl who just could not get to sleep. The various amount of skits and conversations with actors, athletes, and comedians brought us all to tears from laughing.
While the show will not be leaving, television will be losing such a great icon in late night. We wish you the best David Letterman on a fulfilling life. Thank You for all the laughs.
