Jeff Martin was a writer with Late Night with David Letterman from 1982-1989. He also wrote for The Simpsons, Norm MacDonald, Craig Fergusson and more. Many folks might remember his portrayal of 'Flunky the Clown.' This episode begins talking about Jeff's history at Harvard, his role with the Harvard Lampoon, and some of the people he met there including Conan O'Brien, who he is close friends with to this very day. Once they get going, Jeff and Mike have a tremendous conversation about a great many memories Jeff had while at Late Night, not in any particular order, but all having weighted nostalgic entertainment and hilarity. This is a very deep dive into the blueprints of what made Late Night so great and what it was like to write for the show during those important formative years. They also talk about Jeff's formidable softball ability.
