 | | Letterman had ironically become a victim of his own success — NBC’s confirming Letterman's high ratings in the 12:30 (EST) timeslot signaled that the network preferred to hold on to Letterman in the 'Late Night' gig. |
 | | Letterman would again hand over the reins of the show to several guest hosts (including Brad Garrett, Elvis Costello, John McEnroe, Vince Vaughn, Will Ferrell, Bonnie Hunt, and Luke Wilson) in February 2003, when he was diagnosed with a severe case of shingles. |
 | | In 1985, Letterman established the Letterman Telecommunications Scholarship at his alma mater, to provide financial assistance to Department of Telecommunications students, based solely on his or her creativity, and not high academic grades —Many reports have stated that in order to qualify for the scholarship a student must have a C average or below. |
