Before David Letterman became a late-night television legend, he was the guy at 12:30 in the morning reinventing what a talk show could be.

In the premiere of Is Late Night Dead?, Johnny Mac of Daily Comedy News goes back
to the birth of Late Night with David Letterman and the strange path that took Letterman from an Indianapolis weatherman to NBC, The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, a failed daytime talk show, and finally the after-midnight time slot that changed comedy.

We look at how Johnny Carson’s restrictions helped shape Letterman’s groundbreaking NBC show, the influence of Merrill Markoe, Paul Shaffer and Chris Elliott, and the creation of classic Late Night comedy including Stupid Pet Tricks, the Top Ten List, Larry “Bud” Melman, the Guy Under the Seats, dropping objects off buildings, and Letterman’s constant war with the conventions of network television.
We also revisit unforgettable David Letterman moments with Bill Murray, Andy Kaufman, Jerry Lawler, Cher, Crispin Glover and Harvey Pekar, and explore why Late Night became a cult phenomenon for a generation of comedy fans.
By 1991, Letterman had transformed the 12:30 time slot and become one of the most influential figures in television comedy. Johnny Carson was preparing to retire. The Tonight Show was about to become the most coveted job in television.
And everyone thought David Letterman was next.

Then came Jay Leno.
