Poll: Cheerio, Dave: What Letterman Feature Will You Miss Most?

Television will never be the same since David Letterman brought "sky-cam," Larry Bud Melman, watermelons being thrown off buildings, and "the world's most dangerous band" to unsuspecting viewers in 1982. In 1993, Dave left Late Night with David Letterman (1982) on NBC and moved to CBS, where he has been hosting, as well as co-writing and co-producing, the Late Show with David Letterman (1993) 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.
