In an unprecedented move during sweepweeks by CBS Network Television and Worldwide Pants Productions, Eddie Marrero became the first Latino performer to appear on the legendarty late night talk show as a Host, dubbing him the “Spanish Letterman” of Late Night. The move came as a total shock and surprise to Marrero who thought his agent was initially joking with him upon receiving the call. It took some convincing on the part of of his agent who spent the better part of 10 minutes explaining that this was no joke. “I remember saying to myself when I first heard the news, …Letterman wants to see?” This has got be a joke” recalls Marrero. But sure enough the reality that this was no joke quickly set in when he was immediately whisked away into rehearsals and onto the stage of the Ed Sullivan Theater where the show would be taped live within a few hours. On May 4, 2005 Eddie Marrero made television history becoming the first Latino to appear on Late Show with David Letterman as a Host.
