VIDEO : David Letterman Had No Say on Stephen Colbert's 'Late Show' Hire

When CBS announced last April that Stephen Colbert would replace David Letterman as host of The Late Show, the latter host responded with enthusiasm, suggesting his opinion may have influenced the decision. But in a new interview with The New York Times, the late-night legend revealed that he had no input on the network's decision at all. Letterman said, "Its not my show. When we sign off, we're out of business with CBS." Letterman added that he was initially bothered by the fact that CBS didn't ask for his input, but he's moved past the annoyance, saying, "At the time, I had made the decision to leave and I thought, OK, this is what comes when you make this decision."??
