Love performed the song "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)" each year on the last pre-Christmas episode of "Late Night with David Letterman" (NBC, 1986–92) and the "Late Show with David Letterman" (CBS, 1993–2014). Her final Christmas appearance was on December 19, 2014, nine days after the official announcement of the show's finale in May 2015. Letterman has stated that the annual performance is his favorite part of Christmas. Due to the 2007 Writers Guild of America strike, Love was unable to perform on the Letterman show in 2007; a repeat of her 2006 performance was shown instead.
