Letterman Set Gets Dumped


Only hours after David Letterman bid farewell to his “Late Show,” a demolition crew began dissembling the show’s iconic set Thursday morning at the Ed Sullivan Theater.

NY Daily News reports fans stood outside on a brisk morning hopeful of grabbing a souvenir as most of the set was tossed into dumpsters outside the theater.

“This is heartbreaking,” said a stage manager walking away with a “Late Show” sweatshirt.


The chairs where the Letterman audience sat were torn out of the floor and thrown in the garbage. A team of workers lugged out pieces of the city skyline that rose nightly behind Letterman’s desk since the CBS show’s debut in August 1993.

Several of the blue-shirted men squad carried pieces of the Brooklyn Bridge replica that provided a backdrop for thousands of Letterman interviews across 22 years at his Midtown home. Furniture belonging to Letterman musical director Paul Shaffer was removed carefully for shipment to the bespactacled bandleader.
