Paul Shaffer
David Letterman's band leader, Paul Shaffer, left "The Late Show with David Letterman" in 2015 after nearly 33 years of collaboration. Shaffer's departure was part of the show's transition as Letterman retired, marking the end of an era for the late-night program. The decision was mutual, reflecting a natural conclusion to their longstanding partnership as they both moved on to new opportunities.

Band leader, music impressario. musical genius behind David Letterman's LATE NIGHT SHOW - besides Late Night w/ Letterman the man actually knows all kinds of insruments and has a ton of musical ability i love how he incorporates humor into the late show. He played Marty Fufkin in 'Spinal Tap'.
Presuming you mean David Letterman, David never hosted The Tonight Show on NBC. He hosted The Late Show on CBS from 1993 to 2015 & Yes, when he retired, Paul Shaffer & the band left the show as well.
