 Letterman, David
Late Night with David Letterman, programmed to follow the familiar Carson performance, was a different kind of talk show, a format in which the comedy usually outshone the interviews.
That style was honed on his nighttime talk show on NBC, Late Night with David Letterman, which debuted in 1982.
Letterman rose to fame as talk show host and celebrity during a period in television history when late-night talk, a unique TV genre, began to stretch beyond the confines of the solid, long-standing appeal of NBC's Tonight Show, starring the king of late night since 1962, Johnny Carson.

As Kilborn said of the talk show situation in general, ''There's no blueprint for this.''
