Late Show
For episodes 10 to 12 of season 3, CBS television is considering replacing David Letterman, the presenter of the mythical Late Show since 1993. Feeling pressured to take over, Louie has an audition with Jack Dahl, then played by David Lynch. Since then, David Letterman retired on May 20, 2015 in a final show watched by 13.76 million viewers. Stephen Colbert succeeded him. You can attend the recording of this very popular show. It’s free, but even with a ticket, you have to be among the first because the show is overbooking to make sure that the front rows are well filled.
