  • With a shout-out to not-yet-band-member Anton Fig; Paul Shaffer; a class with staffers Bridget Jackson, Mary Brennan, Lisa Erhlick, Paul Pagano, Adam Resnick, and Patrick Casey; an audience member (Laurie Diamond) on the "debut Late Night"; and a botched Paul flashback, with "Grant Tinker" (Elmer Gorry) and Adam Resnick again.

    I first listened to Anton Fig back in 1978 when I was 8 years old. Although, at the time, I didn't realize I was listening to Anton Fig, but I got the 45 single of Ace Frehley's "New York Groove."

    So much to love about this. "Skeets is a nut", the drum seat controversy, Frampton sitting in, the crew intros. Just great! One of the segments I kept in its entirety on my tape collection.

    I saw Letterman 3 times live and once in a close by garage more or less right after the show saw Anton also going home; seemed like a nice guy. Watching Paul through the SNL years and then Late Night, I kinda think if they weren't all cool, they wouldn't have stayed together that long. I know Sid and Anton came a few years in but then they hung tight for a couple decades. Love those cats.

    Paul is the best sidekick...two for one special bandleader and sidekick who always gets a laugh and doesn't have to steal your air time, I mean share your air time lol ;) Even though David is awfully generous with his air time. "My little buddy Paul is trapped inside!" that made me SMILE lol ;)

    This brings back memories. I recall the household gathering around the old Zenith and tuning into the live performance of the tribute to Cheez-its. Gavin McLeod was in top form that night and a pleasant surprise appearance by "Gofer"! I remember Aunt Davis tearing up as the finale musical number was performed by Sandler and Young! Memories.. ahh memories

      Ah, so the music played. Sorry I misunderstood. To me, the word “bumper” refers to the graphic image displayed into and out of the commercial breaks.
      I’ll consider it. :)
