“The Late Show” host David Letterman hasn’t given up his throne to successor Stephen Colbert just yet, but he already has a suggestion for his replacement’s first guest.
Hounded by TMZ to suggest a guest for Colbert’s first episode, the late night host snapped a few photos with fans before offering his pick.
“Vladimir Putin,” Letterman said, in a video published to YouTube on Sunday.
“It’s the first clear sign Stephen Colbert will not be abandoning politics for entertainment when he takes over from David Letterman…and the clue comes from Dave himself,” the video description reads.
Incidentally, Letterman had previously called for Putin’s assassination, via SEAL Team Six, on his “The Late Show.”
