The Top 10 Goodbyes to David Letterman

Late Night host Meyers — who is the fourth host on the NBC show after Dave — used his opening as an homage to Dave's show, re-creating its intro shot-for-shot.

Longtime friend Murray jumped out of a giant cake for the host, smearing him and everyone in the frosting and sugar.

On Letterman's final show, there's a hilarious segment featuring every president since Carter earnestly proclaiming that our "long national nightmare is over." Dry, funny, and so Dave.

Roberts, who has kissed Letterman many, many times over the years during her visits, gave him one final, emotional kiss goodbye when she stopped by for the last time.

Fey, who has been on the show about 20 times, stripped down for Dave in her final appearance, saying it was the last time she'd be wearing a pretty dress for a late-night host. Sorry, Jimmy!

Sandler brought Dave a totally appropriate parting gift: he wrote him a song. It's NSFW in some places, but so touching and sweet.

It was so fitting to have the Foo Fighters — aka Dave's favorite band performing his favorite song of all time, "Everlong," on his final episode. Not only is the song his favorite, but there's also a montage of memorable moments from the show throughout the years to close out the last broadcast.

Kimmel used his Tuesday night monologue to talk about how much Letterman meant to him — so much, in fact, that Kimmel can't get through it without tearing up. It's so genuine and moving.

Letterman's final top 10 list was given by a ton of celebrity guests, including Tina Fey, Jerry Seinfeld, and Jim Carrey. While it may not be as emotional as some of the other goodbyes on the list, the hilarious segment is the most perfect goodbye to the show that there could be.
