David Letterman had a long stint as a late night talk show host. But in his return Tuesday night to Late Night, the show he helped launch 40 years ago, he told current host Seth Meyers the first few weeks were anything but secure.

Letterman was comfortable tripping down memory lane, but exceedingly humble, praising Meyers for his work on keeping the legacy alive.
