You know, I dont, Letterman said.

I thought for sure I would.

And Ive kind of felt that way ever since.

I devoted so much time to the damage of other aspects of my life.

The concentrated, fixated, focusing on that … its good now to not have that.

I couldnt care less about late-night television.

Im happy for the guys men and women there should be more women.

And I dont know why they didnt give my show to a woman.

That would have been fine.

You know, Im happy for their success.

And theyre doing things I couldnt do.

Brokaw then asked if CBS asked for his input about his replacement, prompting Letterman to laugh.

No, they didnt ask me about anything.

They were just they were just happy I was going.
