Show notes

Today on The Gist, Mike Pesca and Slate senior editor Laura Bennett reflect on the unique career of David Letterman, and the new breed of late-night hosts. His last show will be on May 20th, and Slate's Last Laugh features include many looks at the end of an era in late-night TV. For the Spiel, lots of death. Sorry. But, the middle part has fun, great blues names!
