Since 1986, David Letterman has hosted iconic Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Darlene Love singing her holiday hit “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home).”
Check out this mashup of her holiday appearances over the years.
The original track is available on iTunes here.
Stop everything you’re doing and watch this early skit from the David Letterman show with the fab (and now sadly gone-too-soon) Elaine Stritch.
I have no idea when this was – looks to be in late 80s or early 90s?
This is classic Stritch. I literally laughed out loud.

After bringing up Joan Rivers’ short interview with Fredricka Whitfield on CNN where she stormed off the set, David Letterman followed suit last night by taking off his jacket and leaving the diva alone to interview herself: “How’s your sex life, you old bitch?”
Stephen Colbert dropped by The Late Show for the first time since accepting the hosting gig when David Letterman retires next year as the longest serving late night host in TV history.
Taking the seemingly required “celeb selfie” Letterman asked, “Is this still what people do?”
“No, this is actually very retro now,” Colbert replied.
Stephen Colbert will succeed David Letterman as host of “The Late Show,” CBS announced on Thursday, one week after Letterman told his audience that he would retire sometime in 2015.
CBS announced today that Stephen Colbert will replace David Letterman as the host of The Late Show.
Colbert has apparently signed a five-year contract to helm the iconic late-night broadcast.
Colbert, 49, has been the host of Comedy Central’s “The Colbert Report” since 2005.
In a statement, Colbert had this to say about the news: “Simply being a guest on David Letterman’s show has been a highlight of my career. I never dreamed that I would follow in his footsteps, though everyone in late night follows Dave’s lead.”
The big question would seem to be: will Colbert remain in his faux conservative Comedy Central character?
We shall see.

Well, you saw this one coming a mile away…..
With Rachel Maddow sitting as the guest, no less.
Said Letterman:
“I’m just sick and tired, and I think it has really crossed the line of being nonsense. This ongoing, politically nuanced, religiously nuanced discussion of gay marriage, gay rights. It is absolute stupidity….
“Humans have the right to do what humans do, that’s it. End of story. There’s no argument. There’s no exceptions. Humans have rights and they get to do what humans get to do. Case closed. Good night.”
