Worldwide Pants Incorporated is an American television and film production company founded and owned by comedian and talk show host David Letterman.

The company was formerly headquartered at the Ed Sullivan Theater building in New York City, but has since moved to Los Angeles following the ending of the Late Show with David Letterman.

The company, then known as Worldwide Pants Productions, shared a 1991 Peabody Award, for their ability to "take one of TV's most conventional and least inventive forms—the talk show—and infuse it with freshness and imagination.

[9] A 2002 Forbes article comments on the approach Letterman takes for Worldwide Pants television productions:[10] The company produced its first film, Strangers with Candy, a prequel to the TV show of the same name.

Unlike CBS, NBC would have had to negotiate an agreement covering the entire network in order to have writers work on the two late night shows.

[citation needed] In October 2007, the media announced that Worldwide Pants would co-produce its first non-comedy project, a documentary about young adults running for public office.

[13] The documentary, titled The Youngest Candidate, was written and directed by Jason Pollock and premiered July 2008 at the Traverse City Film Festival.

"[15] In 2008 Worldwide Pants signed a product placement deal with Ford to promote the Ford Flex during The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, using a series of weekly custom-written skits in which Ferguson played the leader of a band riding in a Flex as they traveled from Los Angeles International Airport to the CBS Studio.

CEO Rob Burnett said at the time of Late Show's finale: "I honestly don't know what the future of Worldwide Pants will be... We've built a brand here.

"[21] Burnett indicated that he will likely step down as CEO in order to focus on his own projects once matters dealing with Late Show's winding down are concluded.

The company moved out of the 13 story office building above the Ed Sullivan Theater, its home for 22 years, and relocated to Los Angeles.

Years ago, I wanted Worldwide Pants to be an ongoing organism whereby we could continue to employ people and develop material.
