David Letterman Opens Up About Leaving Hollywood for His Home State Indiana [Video]

There’s no place like home for David Letterman.

The former host of the Late Show with David Letterman, 77, officially signed off from his popular late-night gig of 22 years in 2015 and has since left his glamorous lifestyle behind, ultimately relocating to where it all began: Indiana. 

Letterman, who spent much of his late-night career living in New York, left his hometown of Indianapolis in his early 20s to pursue his dream of a stand-up comedy career in Hollywood. Although he made it big, he admitted that the industry molded him into someone he didn’t quite like. 

“In show business, I find that I have pretended to be someone I’m truly not,” Letterman told GQ in an interview published on Dec. 11.  “In my life here in Indiana and at my home with my family, I am probably the person I actually am. And I regret that they don’t kind of cross at any point.”
