Always loved his work with Ace Frehley, especially on that first solo album in '78. He and Ace have fantastic chemistry.

Wow! Alex was one of Dave's last interns and one of his final employees! That's very interesting. I can't believe that he went from Rachael Ray to David Letterman in a short amount of time. Wow!

Tom created the long-form conversation format? What about Cavett?

Wow! Chris worked with Dave, Conan, Kilborn, and Ferguson!? That guy is amazing.

First of all, the opening of that episode was just plain funny. I gotta say that. Second of all, Steve Young is an incredible guest and an incredible writer. Finally, you are getting better and better as an interviewer and as a host. Well done!

Bathtubs Over Broadway is the most strange and wonderful documentary I have ever seen.

You know that Dave couldn't do his show without talking to the audience first. Dave had that interaction with his audience, and John Moran made sure that he gave him the microphone so that he could have some fun with his audience.

Love this guy.

What a resume. I can't imagine working on Letterman, Conan, SNL, Dr. Katz, The Goldbergs, etc. Those are all gems. Any fan of comedy needs to check out Dr. Katz.

Ben is a legend. I mean, the fact that he worked on the iconic Stupid Pet Tricks segment with Dave made him iconic, but he also did a bunch of other things. That's why he's awesome.

George is a Late Show legend. He's also important to CBS. That's awesome. I'm sorry for being so late.

Hulk loved to see you again and loved your podcast

A great observation was made here, comparing the spontaneity of sports vs Letterman's show. The camera operators for Dave's show needed to be alert and on their toes at all times, so they would not miss anything that could contribute to the quality of the program. The top notch crew deserves a lot of the credit for the success of the show.

THE HULK!!!!!! Fun Fact : Musical Chairs was Bob Fallor's first CBS gig .

Lyle's assistant

Get Chris Elliot please

How did he get the job at letterman and why? Part 2

My favorite intern

I'm glad you did a show about "My Next Guest..." Since it's a fantastic show. I'm glad you mentioned the episode with Shah Rukh Khan. Probably a lot of Americans and Canadians may have skipped that one. He is not well known in North America. But he is huge in India. I knew nothing about Bollywood and the media in India. Dave's show is perfect for exposing people to various celebrities they did not know about. Also, it was not "My Next Guest" but I loved the Disney Plus episode where Dave was in Ireland with the U2 guys.

Wow! Allison Lips is a real hero. She knows everything about old-school TV, and she's still very young. Also, the Bob Newhart tribute was totally awesome. Well done!

That's f****** awesome he chokes out jungle Jack off and then gets an award that's f****** awesome go ahead punk

She mentioned Rita Rudner. What a funny comic. People criticized Johnny Carson for not having female comics on the show, but he had a few if they were really special. Rita appeared on Johnny's show a few times. Another one I loved seeing on Johnny's show was Wendy Liebman. She has unique timing.

Wow, I can't believe Dave's been off for ten years? Since I watch the Barbara Gaines Show I forgot. Funny how a lot of Dave's stuff somehow doesn't seem dated, the CBS stuff just seems like a few years ago somehow. Thanks for this interesting interview.

Can't stand this host. Really hate him.

This is very deep and amazing. We're getting more information about Jack Rollins now than we did back in the day. I'm glad that you were able to get Francesca Rollins on because people can finally understand how great Jack Rollins was. Jack helped Dave get Late Night off the ground along with several others, and it's important for everyone to know more about one of the heroes who helped Dave change late night TV forever.

I had the pleasure of meeting and talking to Jeff Altman about 23 years ago in Steubenville,Ohio. I was a D.J back then and had done a few events for a Family there,from time to time,and I had seen Jeff mingling with them but I never approached him. Anyway, their kids had graduated (I did their parties),and were starting to get engaged and getting married,so I did one of their weddings. I was playing dinner music,some Sinatra,etc...and I saw Jeff walk up by the speakers on the dance floor,smoking a cigar, really Digging my song selection. Now,I decided to say Hello. I said: "Did anyone ever tell you that you Look like Jeff Altman?"...He puffed on his cigar and smiled with a twinkle in his eye and said: Why?...Do you think he's FUNNY?". I hiked up my trousers like the Dad in one of his classic skits and I said " If you DON'T Think so,I'll flip you like a flapjack!" He smiled,held out his hand said: "I'm Jeff Altman,Pleased to meet you!" We talked for a few and I found out that the Father of the Bride of this Family that I did events for was Jeff's college roommate and they kept in close touch. Jeff would fly in for Family events...I got his autograph and a pleasant memory of meeting a comedic Legend...I was Smart enough to Not bring up the whole PINK LADY debacle,but that would've been an Interesting Tell...👍❤

Nicole's legacy is that she educated so many people about MS. I'm really looking forward to the next cross country road trip with yellow car. The first one was very enjoyable and I followed it every step of the way.

Wow! That's rough and emotional. I'm sorry to hear about Nicole. My thoughts and prayers are going out to J Ryan. Thanks for letting me know.

I started watching the show in the summer of 86, I was 11 and watched until the end! Paul was so perfect for the show!! Funny and great timing!! Still watch anywhere I can!

The second song song ID request sounds like it might be Climax Blues Band's "I Love You" (1981), with a bit of lead guitar noodling on top.

I love his dead-pan style of humor

Great interview but I can't believe you didn't ask him about the bird's head.

I really like Gilmore's virtual set, looks great. It looks similar to Jimmy Fallon's Tonight Show set. I share his appreciation for Back to the Future and Johnny Carson. Those that want to study late night are smart to look at those who influenced Colbert, Kimmel and Fallon. Johnny was so influential, and he was the G.O.A.T. (Just ask Dave).

Brad Gilmore should host a real late night talk show on TV because he knows how late night TV works. Also, I am glad that he fell in love with late night TV very early on in his life. That reminds me of me because I fell in love with late night TV when I was 8. I watched Letterman, Conan, Kilborn, Ferguson, and Daly on Fridays and during the summer, and then Johnny Carson passed away. When that happened, and when my parents started talking about him, I started watching his show. That led me to Steve Allen, Jack Paar, Tom Snyder, Craig Ferguson, Arsenio Hall, and Spike Feresten among others. Back then, I have always been trying to entertain myself and others, but I didn't know how to do that. After watching all of the late night talk show hosts, I realized that I could entertain people on a late night talk show host. That's when I started thinking about hosting a late night talk show on TV, and that led to me hosting Weeknight Update on UA-cam, but that's not the point. Brad Gilmore has a bright future ahead of him. That's for sure.

Mike C vs millennium falcon moment is still the greatest moment of this channel, but this is pretty good too. Gonna drink this in chapters.

I knew this was gonna be good, but it was better than good! You bring out the best in everybody - really enjoyed this one!!!! Thanks Mike and thanks "Wiggie"!!

Wow! Zoran worked with David Letterman for a while before becoming the Vice President for Development at Migilla Entertainment. That's a success story right there. You can't top that.

This was a fascinating interview. To teach comedy at Harvard is the cherry on top of an impressive career. Anyone who knows a thing or two about comedy knows that many writers for Letterman, SNL, The Simpsons, etc came out of Harvard, including Conan O'Brien. It's cool to hear about Hugh's work with David Spade. I still miss his Comedy Central show, Lights Out with David Spade. Not sure why it went off, maybe it was tied to the pandemic.

Right on!

Wow! Hugh Fink not only appeared on Dave's show four times, but he also knew Dave personally. It's almost like you were talking to one of Dave's closest friends. Hey! That's incredible. Okay. Hugh only talked to him on his radio show prior to the beginning of his late night career, and he didn't get a real chance to do his show until later on, but that still counts, right?

My nephew made the documentary with his filmmaking partner, Violet. What’s notable is that Violet was 14 and Aiden 17 when they started the documentary- and were 18 and 21 when they posted it on UA-cam after showing it at the Denver Film Festival and a couple of others in the past couple of years. I’m so proud of both these youngsters! Thanks for having Eileen on. Her stories are priceless!

Her resume is very impressive. It is so nice to hear that Letterman and George Carlin were such great bosses and so good to their employees. Not everyone in show biz is that way.

Wow! Eileen worked on Dave's Late Night show and several other NBC shows!? That's incredible.

kudos for getting someone from the NBC period

A funny coincidence is I knew a guy who drummed in a local rock band back in the late 80s and 90s whose nickname was Zippy. I'm not sure if that stuck into his 50s

I just saw that you replied to my Rupert Jee "Letter Number 1" comment! You mentioned that you saw the clip. Do you have a link? That's my '15 seconds' of fame ;)

Yes! You were able to get an iconic musician from David Letterman's Late Night show and Late Show on your show this week. Yes! Anton is great along with Paul, Sid, Will, and all of the others. You knew that Dave was cool with Paul Shaffer and various incarnations of his band.

I love all of your interviews with the band members like Paul, Will, Felicia, Al, Tom and this one. Clearly, Dave was a fan of drums and the art of drumming. He would ask the drummers "Are those your drums?" I fondly remember drum solo week where they had the iconic Neil Peart on the show.

Another good guest snag for you... question- Have you ever received feedback that Mr. Letterman is aware of this podcast?

Anton is the reason I actually started watching Late Night back around 1987. My friend who was a year older told me the drummer for Ace Frehley actually drums on the show so I would put a tape in and record it each night more so in early 1988. I got to meet Anton on Nov 15 2004 (Jerry Springfield, Jamie Oliver) after the show and he was super friendly and took the time to have a photo with this big dork. Thank you Anton for taking the time. It meant a lot. I actually have purchased the old Blue Yamaha kit that Anton played on from 86-92 around there. I know he had a wrapped kit with those white covers on them. I'm pretty sure that was the same kit. I love how it plays. I will use it to record one day and I think I'll try to record myself playing Rip It Out or similar. Thanks again Anton for all the great performances on drums plus all the goofy skits. It was a huge part of my youth.
