Television will never be the same since David Letterman brought "sky-cam," Larry Bud Melman, "the world's most dangerous band," and watermelons being thrown off buildings to unsuspecting viewers in 1982. In 1993 Letterman left Late Night on NBC and moved to CBS, where he has been hosting, as well as co-writing and co-producing, the Late Show since. After 20 May, 2015, when the very last David Letterman show airs, what will you most miss about Dave's offbeat and historic world?

David Letterman and Tom Poston in Mork & Mindy (1978)
I will miss absolutely nothing about Letterman or his show. He should have stayed in Indiana to do the weather or been relegated to bit parts in 1970's sitcoms.
