From the home office in Wahoo, Neb., Letterman wooers remember 'Late Show'

1 of 9

Letterman retirement

The Home Office of "The Late Show with David Letterman" sits on the southeast corner of Fifth and Broadway streets in Wahoo.

Letterman Retirement

Wahoo Warehouse owner Bob Sloup holds the last of the Don Ash-designed T-shirts that he sold thousands of during Wahoo's run as the home office of "The Late Show with David Letterman."

Wahoo residents make a fuss over David Letterman's 49th birthday, and create an enchilada out of him.

Wahoo resident Keith Glewen won a David Letterman look-alike contest held in the town in 1996. He rode a float through the city as part of Wahoo's Home Office Days parade.

Wahoo residents sign the "Home Office Mobile," a Ford Pinto that was sent to New York City as one of the bribes offered to make Wahoo the Home Office of "The Late Show with David Letterman."

Comedian Jerry Seinfield (left) joins host David Letterman on the set of the “Late Show with David Letterman” in April.

David Letterman talks with Bill Murray (left) on the first broadcast of "Late Night with David Letterman" on NBC on Feb. 1, 1982, in New York.

Talk-show host David Letterman announces his new contract with CBS television in New York in 1993.

Traffic moves down New York's Broadway past the Ed Sullivan Theater where the "Late Show with David Letterman" is taped.

WAHOO -- The shirt Bob Sloup was looking for this week could not be located on any of the thousands of shelves inside his Wahoo Warehouse. He thought he might have lost it altogether. It turns out it’d been in a box under his bed.
