David Letterman Does Not Believe in Retirement

At the age of 77, David Letterman challenges the concept of retirement, describing it as "a myth" and "nonsense." Despite no longer hosting a late-night talk show, he isn't pausing his career anytime soon. In an interview with GQ, Letterman denied plans of slowing down, citing his recent initiative, the Letterman TV FAST Channel on Samsung TV Plus, and his Netflix series, "My Next Guest Needs No Introduction," as evidence. This is prepared by SSP.

Letterman originally began his journey with Late Night with David Letterman on NBC in 1982 before transitioning to The Late Show with David Letterman on CBS in 1993. After stepping down from The Late Show in 2015, concluding 33 years of late-night hosting, he has engaged in various endeavors, embracing new rhythms in his career.

During his GQ interview, Leafman asserted that one's inclination to produce persists as long as their health does. He elaborated, "Without the rhythm you’re accustomed to, life becomes largely unsatisfying; thus, finding something significant is essential." His sentiments reflect not just in his ongoing projects, but also in his past appearances, such as collaborating with Seth Meyers on Late Night in February 2022.

Letterman's persistence in entertainment is exemplified by his return to The Late Show as a guest in 2023, eight years after retiring from hosting. Despite completing over 4,000 shows and candidly admitting to missing the experience, his passion remains undiminished. As he continues to find joy in what he does on platforms like Netflix, he reflects, "I’m surprised that I’m still doing it at my age. But as long as there's enjoyment, there's no reason to stop."

Earlier, SSP reported that Conan O’Brien's mom passed away three days after father's death.
