David Letterman announces he will retire in 2015 [View all]

NEW YORK (WABC) -- Late night talk show host David Letterman has announced he will retire in 2015.

Letterman said the following in the taping for Thursday's show.

"The man who owns this network, Leslie Moonves, he and I have had a relationship for years and years and years, and we have had this conversation in the past, and we agreed that we would work together on this circumstance and the timing of this circumstance. And I phoned him just before the program, and I said 'Leslie, it's been great, you've been great, and the network has been great, but I'm retiring,'" said Letterman.
