David Letterman and Stephen Colbert toss CBS furniture off the roof: 'Good night and good luck, motherf---ers'

David Letterman ended his last visit to The Late Show With Stephen Colbert with a parting message to CBS that invoked one of the network's revered former journalists: "In the words of the great Ed Murrow, good night and good luck, motherf---ers!"

During his tenure as the series' host, Letterman was known to poke fun at CBS, and he continued in his visit with Colbert on Thursday.

"You know what happened backstage? A guy came over, and he said he's from CBS and then he fired me," he said.

-snip-

"I have every right to be pissed off, so I'll be pissed off here a little bit," Letterman said. "You folks wouldn't be at this theater if it weren’t for me, and Stephen wouldn’t be here if it weren't for me. We built this theater and then Stephen came in here and, look at this, it’s like the Bellagio. But, as we all all understand, you can take a man's show, you can't take a man’s voice, so that's the good news."

And on live TV! I'd love to see if he explodes like a watermelon or a beach ball filled with lard.

Imagine years before, thinking it would ever come to this?

But, as we all understand, you can take a man's show, you can't take a man’s voice, so that's the good news."
