Well, they saved that cool George Washington bridge model, at least.
http://nypost.com/2015/05/21/cbs-throws-david-letterman-set-into-dumpster/ CBS wasted no time in kicking David Letterman to the curb.
Just hours after Letterman said farewell after 33 years on late-night TV, Ed Sullivan Theater crews hauled off blocks of blue stage and hacked up pieces of the iconic New York City bridges that made up the set of the “Late Show?.” Fans and passers-by gathered around a police barricade cordoning off the Ed Sullivan to watch workers unceremoniously chuck red theater chairs into an overflowing Dumpster and ?take reciprocating saws to his miniature Brooklyn Bridge. “It’s an end of an era,” commented onlooker Alex Lafreniere, 24, a fan visiting from Oklahoma. The complete breakdown of the set is expected to take about a week. As stagehands stamped pieces of set into debris, the Letterman lover was able to snatch a bit of dilapidated bridge. It belongs in the Smithsonian, not the dump, Strausz said. “I’m ridiculously excited. Now I can leave in peace,” she gloated. But workers were far less sentimental. A stagehand said the piles of bridge pieces and particleboard were headed for the dump, adding: “It’s all junk now.” 
Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out, Dave.

It was their property to dispose of as they chose and they chose to unceremoniously break it up and put it into a dumpster where it belonged.

Quote HistoryThis is a GREAT article chronicling the shift from funny "everyman" to bitter Libtard. Good read. I remember as a kid watching Letterman do the weather on the local ABC affiliate. Genius. If you loved Letterman, read that article. If you hate him, you REALLY should read the article. Entertainment is a deadly business. TC |

I quit watching Letterman after he moved over to CBS.
Late Night was better than Late Show. We did watch the finale last night and it was pretty good. Face it, the guy had an iconic run of some 33 years, I'll at least give respect for that. |

When you strike a set, it is a brutal, but safe destruction of temporary scenery. It was most likely done outside since it is safer and closer to the vehicle that will be hauling the materials away. Think of it this way: when someone demos a kitchen for remodel, do you see workers gingerly uninstalling cabinets, countertops, even drywall? Hell no. A sledgehammer and sawsall are your best friends. |
