Lee Ellenberg continues his discussion with Mike about how he got the writing gig for The Late Show that would last right until the show's end in 2015 and many of the adventures the journey included. They compare the Late Show to the Muppet Show, Lee talks about the differences and similarities writing for Late Show and The Tonight Show, talk more about Joe Grossman, and much more! There is also a lovely conversation about Alan Kalter, whom we all miss dearly.  The Letterman Podcast is brought to you in part by Rupert Jee and the Hello Deli.
