HuffPost
The TV icon spent about 5 minutes on the show messing around with host Jimmy Fallon.
Late night TV legend David Letterman made a surprise appearance on NBC’s “Tonight Show” on Monday night during host Jimmy Fallon’s opening monologue.
It was Letterman’s first appearance on the show since 1992, when Johnny Carson was host.
Letterman’s longtime sidekick and band, Paul Shaffer and the World’s Most Dangerous Band, were on the show filling in for Fallon’s house band, The Roots, which is rehearsing for Friday night’s “Saturday Night Live” 50th anniversary concert.
In the middle of a bit, the band kicked into Letterman’s old theme song as he emerged from behind the curtain looking lost.
“Jimmy!” he exclaimed in mock shock. “Paul? What are you doing here?”
