NEW YORK — Comic celebrities turned out for David Letterman’s late-night farewell – and so did his biggest audience in more than 21 years.
The Nielsen company said Thursday that 13.76 million viewers saw Letterman end his 33-year career as a late-night TV host with a final show Wednesday night.
The last time Letterman had so many viewers was in February 1994, when his show aired after CBS’ telecast of the Winter Olympics.
Letterman is being replaced in September by Stephen Colbert.
