David Letterman’s return to the Ed Sullivan Theater earned him a standing ovation.
The former late-night talk show host was back at his old stomping grounds for the first time as a guest on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.”
In the episode which aired Monday night, Letterman came out to a crowd on their feet in raucous cheers and chants of “Da-vid, Da-vid!”
“What happened? What are they doing now? Is there going to be trouble?” Letterman joked before quipping, “Stephen, control your people.”
“I will say this is the most enthusiastic audience I have been near since the night I announced I was quitting,” Letterman teased.
