In the news

Choteau has made national news in the U.S. because it is the town nearest to a {{convert|2700|acre|km2|0|adj=on}} ranch that David Letterman purchased in 1999 as a vacation home. Letterman has talked about the ranch on his late-night show and showed photos of a black bear invading the place in September 2003.

On his first show after the attacks of September 11, 2001, Letterman gave an impassioned monologue about New York City in the aftermath. He concluded the now-famous 7-minute speech by mentioning Choteau's rally to raise money for victims of the attacks, despite the long drought there.[11]

On March 19, 2009, Letterman married his girlfriend of 23 years at the Teton County Courthouse in Choteau.[12]

In 2008, school authorities in Choteau made national news headlines by canceling a speaking engagement by Nobel laureate climate researcher Steve Running, who was scheduled to speak to local high school students.[13]
