  • David Letterman's Last 'Late Show' Also Means Paul Shaffer's Disbanding the CBS Orchestra

    When funny man Late Show host David Letterman called it quits, so, too, did his sidekick/bandleader Paul Shaffer disband the CBS Orchestra.

  • David Letterman's Best Hip-Hop Moments: Run D.M.C., Beastie Boys, J. Cole and More

    David Letterman has long been known as a lover of rock 'n' roll...all it takes to get the late night host on your side was to behave erratically or energetically onstage, which would almost certainly merit an "oh boy!" It took a little bit more to get the longtime host of the 'The Late Show' fired up for hip-hop however. To honor Letterman as he prepares to host the last night of his 33-year run on CBS (and to avoid conflicting with everyone else's list of the best performances ever on the show), Music Times has gathered up five great hip-hop performances that took place late night over the years, with almost all coming from emcees in Letterman's adopted hometown of New York City, including Run-D.M.C. and The Beastie Boys.

    Action Bronson continues to push his major label debut 'Mr. Wonderful' out to the world, and last night, March 25, before his second show in as many nights at Terminal 5 in New York, the "Terry" rapper went on 'David Letterman' to perform "Baby Blue" with Chicago rapper Chance the Rapper. The pair brought a soulful rendition of the track to a national TV audience with a full backing band bathed in blue light as Action led the performance in his signature garb of a green chef's robe, shorts, fresh kicks and a black snap-back. Chance joined him onstage to deliver his verse with poise and purpose, firing away at the woman who has menaced them for so long, but still remains dear in their heart.

  • John Mayer Talks Up 'Late Late Show' Guest Stint on Twitter

    Craig Ferguson's departure from "The Late Late Show" was sort of ignored by the general public, considering the other late-night moves. David Letterman is leaving "The Late Show" and will be replaced by Stephen Colbert, effectively changing the format of two beloved time slots. Comedian James Corden was not able to fill in for Ferguson immediately, so some guest hosts including Jim Gaffigan, Judd Apatow and John Mayer will fill the void. The guitarist recently took to Twitter to promise an awesome guest lineup for his February dates, "Billboard" notes.

  • 10 Best Late-Night Performances of '14: Ryan Adams, Bobby Shmurda, Kendrick Lamar, More [WATCH]

    The late-night performance has become a rite of passage in recent years for up-and-coming bands. For more established acts, it is a chance to play some songs from a new record. There is no denying that the moves made in 2014 in the late-night realm affected the quality of the performances. David Letterman is retiring in May, so he has just been enjoying it all — he really dug Ryan Adams. Jimmy Fallon took over "The Tonight Show," which meant The Roots adding their Philly funk to acts like Bobby Shmurda. And Stephen Colbert ended his tenure on "The Colbert Report" recently, wisely booking Kendrick Lamar for his final week. The last year was filled with great performances that may have been on past your bedtime. Here are a few of our favorites.
