As much as I enjoy Letterman and is by far my favourite talk show, a better alternative is probably either the two Jimmy's, Kimmel or Fallon.
Kimmel's show is situated in LA, which has the most Korean people outside Seoul. Fallon on the other hand just has a more hip feel, although I still cringe when I watch his show and don't ever find his stuff funny. But then imagine the Roots doing something in the background while they performed.
However, Letterman DOES have a history of having good musical taste, the show doesn't shy away from any type of music (unlike Leno who caters to the right more and more), he's even said his favourite band is the Foo Fighters.
Honestly, I wonder if they really need to "make it big" in the US. The world is one big global market now and you don't need to rely on the US as much I feel to make a name for yourself. They're already fucking humongous in Asia after all....
