Which pair of hosts had overlapping hosting years?

Which pair of hosts had overlapping hosting years?

• A. David Letterman and Jimmy Fallon
• B. Conan O'Brien and Seth Meyers
• C. Jimmy Fallon and Seth Meyers
• D. David Letterman and Conan O'Brien

Answer: (D)

Overlapping hosting years means two hosts were actively hosting during the same years. David Letterman hosted The Late Show from 1993 to 2015, while Conan O’Brien hosted Late Night starting in 1993 and then The Tonight Show from 2009 to 2010. Since Letterman continued on air through 2015 and Conan’s shows ran into 2010, their hosting years intersect from 1993 to 2010. That clear period of overlap is why this pair is the correct answer.
