Indianapolis Colts: David Letterman

For years, David Letterman took his post as one of the faces of late-night television, as he hosted his signature show, “Late Show with David Letterman.” One of the funniest men in show business, Letterman no longer graces the television set for those who cannot sleep at night, but instead, has moved to to his Netflix series, “My Next Guest Needs No Introduction.”

Though he has changed platforms, his love for his Indianapolis Colts has not wavered in the least. Letterman was born in Indianapolis, and in fact, he grew up only 12 miles from Indianapolis Motor Speedway. When it was time to honor an all-time great Colt, Letterman had to be there.

Letterman gave an incredibly funny speech during the unveiling of Peyton Manning’s statue outside of Lucas Oil Stadium. His appearance at the event was a surprise, but once he got behind the microphone, you could tell he knew exactly what he wanted to say to one of his favorite players of all time.

While Manning is no longer the quarterback of the Colts, Letterman has taken a liking to his successor, Andrew Luck. Letterman is always around the Colts, whether it be the offseason, or during the regular season, and he has developed quite the friendship with the young signal-caller.

The Colts have fallen on hard times since Luck has been out with a shoulder injury, but Letterman will always be one of the biggest supporters of the team. At 71 years old, Letterman seems to not have missed a beat, and maybe the Colts can get back to the mountaintop in the AFC South for him before too long.
