Longtime Late Show host David Letterman ended his 33-year run with last night's episode. Here's his final entrance to start the show.

The official video was released on the Late Show With David Letterman YouTube page, and features the late night host’s final entrance. There’s a bit of a delay, a moment to take in what’s about to happen before Letterman finally graces the stage. That pause is powerful, letting us prepare ourselves to soak in the host’s final walk onto that famous stage.

The video ends just after Letterman takes the stage, greeting a warm and adoring crowd — so you don’t get any of his opening monologue, but it’s enough to bring a smile to your face.
