David Letterman (born 1947) is a late-night [[Talk Show]] host famous for defining the genre in the post-[[The Tonight Show|Johnny Carson]] era. Letterman's shows (''The David Letterman Show'' in 1980, ''[[Late Night]]'' from 1982-93, and ''The Late Show'' since then) came to be known as examples of the "[[Post Modernism|Anti-Talk Show]]", a show that is relentlessly [[Lampshade Hanging|self-aware]] and intent on deconstructing the conventions of the very medium that gives it life.
