    Welcome to the Letterman UA-cam Channel, home to all your favorite clips from Late Night and Late Show - as well as conversations with the writers, producers and performers who helped make it all happen. The language may strike you as quaint & flowery, the clothing comically lacey & ornate - but that’s how things were back in this colorful and now bygone era.

    Walter, I saw "Cats" for the first time ever about 5 months ago. I also had assumed that "Midnight and the kitties are sleeping.." were real lyrics until that moment.

    Fun Fact: Walter actually began his association with Dave as an unpaid intern on Late Night. After working at Late Show for ten years, the show finally decided to start paying him. (Some of this isn’t true.)
    I first met Walter at the Hello Deli in the mid-‘90s. I recognized the face but didn’t know the name. “Kevin Nagle,” he replied. And I bought it. So add that to his list of aliases.
    As to someone requesting me for a Favorite Moments spot: As amazing as Walter’s editing skills are, even he wouldn’t be able to salvage anything useable. He realized that after attempting a “Donzumentary” in 1999, and not much has changed since.

    So glad I watched this. When the last episode originally aired and I saw Jerry's reaction to Julia's joke, I thought it was 100% genuine. It's even funnier to know that he was standing there while it was created.
    I also loved the way you delivered your line as a question... "I'm actually an assistant to the equipment manager of the Oakland A's??" Then Dave answered your question.
    This is the first Staff Faves I've seen. I'll be watching more. We all see the star on the screen, but it's the folks like you who really get shows on the air. My family grew up in Los Angeles and I have a brother who worked in Culver City as a grip at what was once portrayed as the fictional "Paramutual Studios". Outside the industry, I wonder how many people understand how hard the crew, staff, production, craft, and everyone else works to make the viewer suspend belief and feel some emotions.
    Loved the montage... great moments there! I couldn't get the Team America song out of my head though. :)
