103 The Letterman Podcast Don Giller Celebration Compilation Part Four: Epilogue, Odds & Ends


Listen Later

The Letterman Podcast's 100th episode 4-Part extravaganza comes to a close with this final instalment.

A VERY special thanks to Don Giller for spending countless hours sifting through footage from The Letterman Podcast's first 100 episodes, and build the unique narrative that he did.

We also thank each and every guest that took the time to go down memory lane with us, and share thoughts and moments that were meaningful to them.

The Letterman Podcast's host Mike Chisholm asked if I might put something together to help commemorate his 100th episode.
Rather than select highlights and best-of conversations, I decided to try to craft a behind-the-scenes narrative of Dave’s talk show history as told by many of Mike’s podcast guests — the writers, producers, musicians, and network executives who worked for and with Dave throughout his 35-year tenure at NBC and CBS.
The narrative is distributed in four parts:

Some details become blurred from long-dormant memories — a Viewer Mail letter is actually a separate, stand-alone comedy piece; a timeline might be off by a year or two. But the substance of those memories are precise and vivid, and they offer a heretofore untold look into the creation of material as well as fresh perspectives from the personalities that helped mold a culture-defining legacy.
Great thanks to Worldwide Pants for granting permission to share some of its owned and licensed content and to Mike for soliciting so much essential history from his guests.
