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.
