David Letterman

David Letterman is an American TV host, writer, producer, and comedian. He is considered the king among late night talk show hosts because of his tenure in the Late Night and Late Show programs. But prior to all the TV glory, David had humble beginnings. He grew up in Indianapolis, Indiana, and graduated at Ball State University with a degree in telecommunications. He started his career at the local radio station in Indiana but would be discontented and would later leave to pursue success in Los Angeles.

Due to financial issues during that time, he was forced to live in his 1973 Chevy pick up truck. From there he’d write for various shows and land TV hosting roles that would later be his ticket to fame and fortune. David has certainly come a long way and remained true to his passion.
