Letterman commands that kind of money because he's Letterman and also has his hand in a number of projects through his own production company. He is a silent producer in a lot of projects in the entertainment field, including theater.

Corden would maybe see roughly $5 million to host the Late Late Show - if even that.

It took years for Ferguson to build up to making more than $10 million. So yes, the money is better than broadway, not as good as if he was a major blockbuster film star, but if he was to host the show, it would definitely be a great steady income over a long period of time and would enable him to build a brand for himself and that's the trick right there.

I didn't know Letterman invested in theatre productions. Assume this is not connected with Worldwide Pants, his tv/film production company?

What and exactly how - I honestly don't know - but he was just very forthcoming about it in the pits at the Indy 500. I've had the pleasure of a pit pass a few times and always run into him there - honestly - it's rather adorable - he is a *HUGE* Indy 500 fan, and has part ownership of a racing team, of course.

He also tends to be one of those donors commonly listed as "anonymous." Someone in the pits asked him why he keeps it "anonymous" and he replied with "I put my name down and then it just becomes about my involvement, rather than what we're trying to do here." Fair enough.
