In the 1980s, when Letterman started out as a stand-up comic and was just starting his late-night career, he was not telling jokes but rather delivering political satire. He thought it was funny to talk in the voice of a conservative to mock the country's obsession with Ronald Reagan.

The Last Giant of Late Night is a tragic story, the tale of a show that so brilliantly and inexplicably captured our attention that it will never have another like it.

The book chronicles Letterman's career, from the beginning of his career as a local radio personality in Indianapolis to his last appearance on David Letterman's Late Show with David Letterman . It is based around interviews with David Letterman, some of his former staff members, and former late-night talk show hosts.
