My first semester there was spent working for Madeleine Smithberg (who would go on to cocreate The Daily Show). At the time she was the Human Interest Talent Coordinator, finding the weirdos and the other non-celebrity guests for Dave. I’d spend my day going through stacks of local newspapers and cold-calling the local affiliates. I was thrilled to...
In choosing his running mate in 1988, George H.W. Bush inadvertently bestowed on the country one of the greatest late-night comedy offerings of all time: the dunderheaded Dan Quayle. And in selecting Quayle, Bush simultaneously — some might even say savvily — secured the greatest assassination insurance policy a president has ever had. I say this w...
In 1992, when Dave moved from NBC to CBS, I was promoted to segment producer. The guests would be divided up between me and Mary Connelly (who is currently executive producer of Ellen). Our jobs were to pre-interview the guests to figure out topics they’d discuss with Dave and to plan any other bits they could do. In 1995, I was paired with Drew Ba...
One of my other responsibilities on the show was booking authors. That was a great bonus — I remember one hiatus reading Martin Amis’s Money, and the next week Dave let me book him on the show. But it definitely wasn’t always that glamorous. Mostly I would sift through boxes of random books, looking for potential guests. It was in one such box I fo...
On a less treacherous cooking note, I was assigned Julia Child to produce in 1993. Dave loved having great chefs on, not just because his cooking demos were always colorful, fun TV, but mostly because these culinary masters would make him their famous dishes. I was told Julia wanted to make her bananas Foster. Dave rarely dines out, and the idea of...
In 1993, Sean Connery’s publicist called to book her client to dispel rumors that he was suffering from throat cancer. (I’m not telling tales out of school: He went on to discuss it on the show.) She wanted to show he was virile as ever, and suggested he make an entrance — on a bicycle. “A bicycle?” I said. Surely she was kidding. “He’sJames Bond,”...
When she came on in 1994, it was only her second appearance since making her debut on Letterman in 1989, and now she was arguably the biggest female movie star in the world. And as such, her agent, Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas, told me Julia didn’t want to do a pre-interview. This meant there would be no safety net; Dave would just ask questions and hop...
In 1994, if Julia Roberts was the biggest female movie star in the world, Madonna was arguably the biggest female star. At the same time, due to her pioneering promiscuity and her seemingly insatiable interest in surly actors, athletes, and rappers, she was also endless fodder for the tabloids — and late-night hosts. Dave loved her; she was the gif...
We booked Peter O’Toole when Late Show went to London for a week in May of 1995, and I was thrilled to produce him — he was definitely one of my acting idols, and known to be one of the great talk-show raconteurs. This was also an important Sweeps period for us — and doing shows from London seemed less than a sure thing. So I started the pre-interv...
There was a standing offer of $500 from Dave to anyone who booked a Beatle on the show. In 1989, Morty booked Ringo Starr and went to Dave to collect his money. Dave told him, “Ringo doesn’t count.” I really wanted to book Paul McCartney — and actually had a connection. My first four years on the show, my girlfriend and I were sharing a two-story d...
