The famous late night talk show host who recently retired got a few pretty serious death threats of his own because of some of his jokes. A jihadist website sent threatening messages to Letterman in 2011, because he joked about Ilyas Kashmiri’s death. Comedians are known for being humorous about controversial subjects, but it’s obvious that his humor was not received well by some in this case. Letterman hosted his late night talk show for 33 years, and his production company has produced several successful shows besides The Late Show With David Letterman, including The Late Show With Craig Ferguson and Everybody Loves Raymond.
