David Letterman only has three broadcasts next week before he retires from the Late Show and CBS is ensuring that those episodes are filled with major stars.
Tom Hanks will appear on Monday’s episode to make his 60th and final appearance on a show hosted by Letterman. He first sat across from letterman on an episode of Late Night in April 1984. Pearl Jam’s Eddie Vedder will also perform that night with Paul Shaffer and the CBC Orchestra.
On Tuesday, Bill Murray will visit with Letterman. Murray was the first guest to appear on Late Night in February 1982 and was Letterman’s first guest when he switched to CBS to host the Late Show in August 1993. It will be his 44th overall appearance on a Letterman-hosted show. Murray also famously appeared on Late Show as Liberace to mark the show’s 20th anniversary.
Letterman will have one more show on Wednesday, which will feature highlights from his 33-year late night hosting career.
Tonight’s Late Night guests are Oprah Winfrey and Norm Macdonald.
Stephen Colbert will take over the Late Show on Sept. 8.
