David Letterman Biography

Inspiring countless comedians and talks show hosts, David Letterman is best known for his gap-toothed self-mockery and his brash, wry, somewhat cynical sense of humor. Although at first unconventional, attracting a cult following, his style of comedy has gone on to define the young hip media-savvy generation that comprises his main audience. <br>At his alma mater, Ball State University in Muncie Indiana, Mr. Letterman studied radio and television. Radio talk-show host, children's program and a late-night movie host, a news anchor, and a television weatherman where his brand of humor was already evident, if not appreciated, are among the places Letterman worked.</br>Letterman wrote material for popular sitcoms, including Good Times, following his move to Los Angeles in 1975. Referring to him as his mentor Johnny Carson from The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson allowed Letterman to get his big break. He became Carson's regular guest host in 1978 and was offered his own show, The David Letterman Show, in 1980. A critical success and convincing enough to NBC-TV to give the young comedian a late-night show following Carson's, the show only lasted for three months.
