David Letterman returns to 'Late Show,' slams CBS for Colbert cancellation
David Letterman returned to his former home, the Ed Sullivan Theater, on Thursday, May 14, to appear as one of the final guests on "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert," before the show concludes on May 21.
"I came very close to being teary about that," Letterman, 79, told Colbert, 62, of his emotional return, before quickly throwing in a jab at CBS. "You know what happened backstage? I'm standing [there]. A guy comes over, and he says he's from CBS, and then he fired me."
Later in the show, Letterman and Colbert channeled their rage at Colbert's cancellation in a zany segment that saw the TV hosts hurl several pieces of furniture off the roof of the Ed Sullivan Theater. A bullseye in the shape of CBS' logo was used as their target.

One week ahead of the final episode of The Late Show, David Letterman joined Stephen Colbert to commend the end of the late night series.
To really commemorate the occasion, the hosts made their way to the top of the Ed Sullivan Theater where they threw off a few pieces of set furniture onto none other than CBS‘ eyemark logo.
“I thought maybe tonight’s occasion would be a little sad, being the end of your run here, but this brings true joy to my heart,” Letterman said. “We are up here for the wanton destruction of CBS property.”
