** The story surrounding the final song is a bit of a tear jerker too. Dave mentions that the song is very important to him because it helped him recover from his open heart surgery in 2000. Furthermore, Dave mentions how he specifically requested the band play that song on his first show back. Unfortunately, the band was on tour in South America. Fortunately, they cancelled the tour and flew back to New York to fulfill Dave's request. We close out Dave's late night career with a montage of his NBC and CBS shows, backed by what Dave called in 2000 "My favorite band playing my favorite song;" [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrVjOUIoo6Q 'Everlong']] by the Music/FooFighters.

Added DiffLines:
* It may not be Creator/JonStewart's post-9/11 monologue on ''Series/TheDailyShowWithJonStewart'', [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DBLgp1qTCTg but Letterman's is going to get your waterworks going too.]]
** This was the episode that saw Dan Rather, then-anchor or the CBS Evening News and coming off nearly a solid week straight of anchoring CBS' coverage of the terrorist attacks, choke up on the air.
* On October 30, 2002, Dave dedicated the entire hour talking to songwriting legend and friend of the show Warren Zevon, who had been diagnosed with terminal lung cancer. Zevon also performed three songs that night, which turned out to be his final public performance. During the interview, Zevon said he learned to appreciate how to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7Mirkd3CT4 enjoy every sandwich.]]
** A double tear jerker occurred one year later when Dave and Paul [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZ8xO6BrZRU announce Zevon had died.]]
* Dave's tribute to the late Johnny Carson, January 31, 2005, with Peter Lasally, producer of ''Series/TheTonightShow'', as a guest. Dave let the audience know that many jokes over the years had been written by Carson himself (notably, the entirety of his monologue on that episode). In a montage of Johnny's highlights in ''Late Night'' and ''The Late Show'' is showed the memorable bit of Mr. Carson (actually his last appearance on tv) taking the host's seat just for a moment, leaving it immediately. Finally, musical guests Doc Severinsen, musical director of the Carson's show, Tommy Newsome and Ed Shaughnessy (from the old Tonight Show Band) play with Paul Shaffer and the CBS Orchestra Johnny Carson's favorite song, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DFac_omWrBg "Here's That Rainy Day"]].
* David's announcement in April 2014 about his intention to retire, which some believed marked the EndOfAnAge in late night television.
* [[http://youtu.be/4bVgilYncao David's tribute]] to Creator/RobinWilliams following the latter's death in August 2014.
* The last weeks previous to the ''Late Show'' finale are plenty of moving moments about David's departure:
** Norm Macdonald, of all people, does a stand-up routine that becomes an emotional and tearful tribute to David, [[https://youtu.be/X9I9zafXQkk?t=5m53s just check it out]].
** Ray Romano thanks Letterman for having changed his life giving him the chance to star in ''Series/EverybodyLovesRaymond'' after performing his stand-up act in the ''Late Show'' stage; Dave asks Ray if he wants to stand one more time at the right spot of the stage where his career took that turn. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ss4Ib9t8ZI Sob alert, fellow friends]].

** On [[Series/{{Conan}} his own show]], Creator/ConanOBrien wished Dave well and reflected on how Dave both inspired him and helped him maintain a career by showing up as a guest shortly after Conan had taken over ''Late Night'' (at a time when Conan was still finding his groove and people were reacting to his show with disdain). Seen [[http://teamcoco.com/video/goodbye-dave?playlist=x;eyJ0b3RhbCI6MzExMSwidHlwZSI6Imxpc3QiLCJpZCI6Mn0 here]].
** Not only Conan O'Brien and Jimmy Kimmel paid tribute to Letterman, but also [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rY-SJaL_eM8 Jimmy Fallon]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a7qdT6Fdb0U James Corden]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8n9jGGypGHs Seth Meyers]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9dsfckzyF2g Jon Stewart]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQ1PtfdFudc Ellen DeGeneres]] also gave tribute to Dave. A testament to the influence that Dave has to modern late night comedy and to modern late night talk show format in general.
* The final episode on May 20, 2015. At the end, Dave thanks everyone responsible for the success of the show, and then signs off by simply saying [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aq2AZY-qaPY "Thank you and goodnight"]].
