The Late Show is a classic

Warning: Spoilers
If The Late Show was to be revived with another host, would it need to resort to celebrities singing endlessly in a car? Is that what the world of late night TV has come to? What would have happened if David succeeded Johnny Carson?

There was one Late Show episode I saw I think from the 90s, where a flight attendant, in response to a question from David Letterman, said something disparaging about the passengers, whispering (well loud enough for the audience in the Ed Sullivan Theater and everyone watching at home) that "they're the enemy!". The audience exploded in uneasy laughter, and then the flight attendant upon realizing her faux pas, wondered out loud that she could be in trouble for that, especially as she had already revealed the airline she worked for. I cannot recall the airline but I do wonder whatever happened to that flight attendant. To this day, does she regret her opinion on the customer on national TV?
