Watch The Simpsons pay tribute to David Letterman
Fox


Tributes have been pouring in ever since David Letterman announced his retirement on Thursday, and The Simpsons honored the longtime talk show host in a way only Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, and Maggie could. Fun fact: The Simpsons is the longest-running scripted television show, while Letterman holds the record for lengthiest stint as a late night host. --Catherine Garcia
