Breaking: Letterman & Colbert Toss Late Show Furniture Off Ed Sullivan Theatre Roof
David Letterman and Stephen Colbert tossed late-night furniture off the Ed Sullivan Theatre roof—recreating Letterman’s iconic 1993 bit—to mark *The Late Show*’s final episodes. The stunt honored their shared history and CBS’s late-night legacy. Though not music-focused, the segment echoed the comedic, physical humor that defined 1990s TV, influencing generations of hosts and reminding fans of TV’s golden age of stunts and satire.
