Overview
- The buyer, Jeff Douek of WeHo Bistro, revealed June 29 that the 12' x 8'6" x 9' illuminated sign was delivered from New York and placed on the restaurant’s rooftop for a short public display.
- The marquee sold at an April auction for $102,100 with proceeds designated for the humanitarian group World Central Kitchen.
- Moving the sign required special logistics because it was too large for most trucks and was driven directly from New York to Los Angeles.
- WeHo Bistro plans to keep the sign on the roof for about two weeks before mounting it permanently on an interior wall where guests can take photos.
- The relocation preserves a piece of the Late Show era following the program’s finale in May and gives fans a public place to connect with the show's history.
