I was going to say Joe Franklin, but after checking, he retired his talk show at 66. So it seems yes, Dave's the oldest. He surpassed Johnny in shows, in years and in age, he outlasted Jay, and he's helped manage the smoothest late night transition since, well, ever.
But Joe still has it: his show lasted 43 years.
