January 1, Late-Night Legend Spotted Bagging Groceries in Iowa [Video]

In a surprising twist, iconic late-night host David Letterman was spotted bagging groceries at a Hy-Vee supermarket in Des Moines, Iowa on Friday.

Following the recent trend of celebrities moonlighting in unanticipated roles, such as singer Lana Del Rey’s shift at Waffle House, this latest sighting of the “Late Night with David Letterman” host sparked quite a buzz on social media.

An image circulating on Facebook captured the 76-year-old TV veteran donned in an apron and nametag, inspecting a can of Campbell’s soup.

The Hy-Vee grocery store posted the intriguing photo with the caption, “You never know who you’ll bump into while shopping the aisles at Hy-Vee.”

To ease any concerns, it doesn’t seem like Letterman is bagging groceries to keep the bills paid.

A video uploaded to his Instagram account revealed him informing the store’s manager that he has “spent a considerable amount of my life in a grocery store in Indianapolis.”

He further stated, “If I can give something back to the marketing community, I would like to do that,” quickly adding, “but I don’t have all day, of course.”

The comedic icon was then seen diving into various activities.

He packed groceries, sampled food items — including raw minestrone soup from an open can and a stray gumball from the floor — and even announced over the intercom a one-day free celery offer.

Letterman’s unusual shift at the grocery store was not only a community service endeavor but also part of promoting the Hy-Vee Indy Car race in Des Moines.

The race holds personal significance for Letterman as he co-owns the No. 45 race car, driven by Christian Lundgaard, through his Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing team.

This quirky episode of celebrity blue-collar moonlighting raises questions about who we might see next in unexpected roles.
