Welcome Late Show Fans!

This website was designed by Adelaide artist and Adelaide internet developer and true David Letterman Late Show fan Adelaide born John Darren.


I (John) have traveled around the world a bit. Studied pretty much Life The Universe and Everything. Watched all kinds of TV shows, movies, and documentaries over the past 35 years.

But one TV show is number one, numero uno, fun and clever, relaxing and funny ... The Late Show with David Letterman at the Ed Sullivan Theater.

This whole Adelaide David Letterman Late Show fan club fansite is here for Adelaide Late Show fans to chat with other Adelaide Late Show fans in our Adelaide David Letterman Late Show Chat Forum Message Board.

Enjoy!

I will add more stuff to this page later as the chat forum gets busier.

Things like a collection of videos page. And a David Letterman and Late Show photo gallery. And it would be good to share Late Show DVD recordings with other Adelaide Late Show fans.
