Last night on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Fallon took time out of his show to give a tearful goodbye to David Letterman, one of his idols.
Fallon explained that his 8th grade teacher actually predicted that he would replace Letterman on NBC’s Late Night, which actually sort-of ended up happening.
Tonight, Letterman’s next-to-last Late Show episode of CBS will feature Bill Murray as his last guest and Bob Dylan as his last musical performer. His final show airs Wednesday with another collection of his best moments.
For his tribute Jimmy Kimmel has decided to not tape a new show for Wednesday out of respect.
