Kourtney Kardashian is best known as the eldest Kardashian sister. She rose to fame in 2007, when she and her family began starring in the reality TV show “Keeping Up with the Kardashians.” The show’s success led to the creation of spin-offs, including “Kourtney and Khloé Take Miami” and “Kourtney and Kim Take New York.”

Kardashian and her family have been nominated for five Teen Choice Awards in the TV personality and female reality star categories, winning four consecutive years between 2010 and 2013.

David Letterman is one of the best known talk show hosts in the history of TV. Before his iconic and long-running show “Late Show with David Letterman,” which aired between 1993 and 2015,” Letterman hosted “Late Night with David Letterman” between 1982 and 1993. What brought the comedian to prominence is his self-mockery style and cynical sense of humor.

Letterman has been nominated for a Primetime Emmy award around 50 times, winning five. In 2010, Forbes also ranked Letterman No. 24 on its list of most powerful personalities in entertainment. Most recently, Letterman had a talk show on Netflix called “My Next Guess Needs No Introduction,” which lasted three seasons.
