With a deal signed set in place Tuesday to keep him as host of CBS’s “The Late Show” until 2014, David Letterman will set a record for hosting a late night show for the most consecutive years — longer than late night great Johnny Carson. Letterman averages 3.3 million viewers a night. CBS also renewed the contract of Craig Ferguson, who’s “Late Late Show” follows Letterman’s.
