Yesterday, on
The Late Show, David Letterman demonstrated summer’s newest toys for the last time and the final toy was the perfect fit for concluding the segment. It is called the Ponycycle, which is an exercise thingy in the form of a pony that is mobile. So the CBS late night host tried him out, and to end the segment he rode it off the stage into the sunset. Hopefully the retiring host will be back tonight! Which I am sure he will be. But I do think, he should keep that prop around for his official last show because it would be a perfect way for him to say goodbye to late night television after nearly a third of a century.
I also hope that Stephen Colbert continues to this segment because it is always a delight to see the crazy toys they have on there that cost ridiculous amounts of money. Seriously, $60 for that remote controlled dinosaur thingy that rolls around? Even $250 is a little high for the Ponycycle. You can buy a kid a bicycle for that amount of money and his friends won’t laugh at him for riding that out in public.
