Reminds me of the Simpsons episode where Homer and kids help Ned Flanders clear out his house of his dead wife's belongings. They start stomping picture frames into the hefty bags and throwing precious memories into a wood chipper. One of my top ten favorite scenes from the Simpsons -- how about you Dave?

CBS probably doesn't own that building. No sense paying New York to store cheap furniture. I don't recall that Carson's set was saved either.

This wasn't done to spite Letterman. In fact, I'd bet it was done on his orders. His company, "Worldwide Pants Inc." produces the show. They sell the show to CBS to air, and they rent the sound stage where they shoot it from whatever company owns the Ed Sullivan theater. Every minute that stuff sits on that stage, Dave is cutting somebody a check. The faster he gets his shit out, the sooner he stops bleeding cash. He's been there for decades and wants to go; it's not like he's got any nostalgic feelings for that stuff.
This is just the brutal side of showbiz that most people rarely see. At the lower rungs of the entertainment ladder, the guys striking the set are the very same guys who built it and played on it. |

Props are one thing. Set pieces are another. It's all built to be temporary decor placed in a temporary location. That makes it easy to destruct. It's easier to simply build most set pieces than to uninstall, store/transport, and reinstall. Fortunately, firearms are props and can be used repeatedly. Those types of items are much easier to store, rent out, or sell. I'm with you on the Heat items though. It would be a sad day in GD history if those were destroyed. Actually, you can keep the firearms, just give me a 30 something Ashley Judd and let me destroy her!!! |

This is standard practice with pretty much anything in the entertainment business...theatre, television, movies...the sets are only useful to the show while they are needed. After that everything goes in the dumpster.

Too much liability to do that, not to mention the cost of find and vetting buyers for what is essentially junk. If they left it on the sidewalk, you can bet NYC would come after them for littering. And set pieces aren't finished like home furniture; there are probably a lot exposed studs, nails, splinters, etc. You can recognize all those are minor things, but you'll still get sued if someone stubs their toe or gets an owie on their finger. Unlike scripted dramas, current events shows have very little reviewing value. This show existed to help celebrities peddle books, movies, and TV shows. There may be an interesting interview or skit in there somewhere but mostly the show is entirely forgettable even a week after it airs. But if someone ever decides to build a shrine to the show in a museum somewhere, they'll just make a copy of what they want from the original plans and archival photos of the show. Most of those "artifacts" are reproductions rather than originals for this sort of thing. |

The proceeds alone that the bridge could have generated could have helped a disabled Veteran. I bet that bridge would have sold for at least $10k or more. It was sort of a piece of history that got destroyed for no reason. |

I liked Dave more than Jay but I think Ferguson should have replaced Dave. I was sad to see Ferguson go because he was pretty amusing. I don't know who the hack is that took his slot but I am amazed he is actually still on TV. I did see Ferguson on a show the other day at my FIL's house. Not sure if its his new gig or he was just there that taping.
