Letterman Gushes Over Kimmel, Calls Him 'The Leader of the Resistance'

Former The Late Show host David Letterman joined ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel on Tuesday to praise him as “the leader of the resistance” and also tell Kimmel that he and his contemporaries are helping to save democracy every night with their shows.

Letterman kicked off his ode to his successors by asking, “People are aware of the fact that you are the leader of the resistance?” while Kimmel tried to downplay the idea, “Yes, I mean, I am the totally ineffective leader of the resistance, yes.”

Alluding to Kimmel’s suspension, Letterman continued, “By the way, will this be televised tonight? I can never keep track with you getting yanked off. Oh, well, excuse— I'm sorry.”
