The Letterman Podcast 008 Tom Dreesen Part 2

Once Again: Tom Dreesen has been performing for over 50 years, and is one of David Letterman's best friends, going all the way back to their stand up days at The Comedy Store. He is the author of two books: Tim and Tom: An American Comedy in Black and White, and Still Standing...My Journey from Streets and Saloons to the Stage, and Sinatra. In Part 2 of Tom's first appearance on 'The Letterman Podcast,' Tom and Mike talk about all the phases of David Letterman's broadcasting career, from the morning show all the way to Dave's latest venture 'That's My Time With David Letterman.' They discuss Jay Leno, and the impact Dave had on his career, how Dave may well have kept Johnny Carson 'hip,' the flirtation of potentially having a talk show of his own, Letterman's transition from NBC to CBS, performing for the troops overseas, Sinatra, and Tom even regals us with what might be the most legendary Don Rickles story of all time. Tom Dreesen is a comedy legend who has rubbed shoulders with giants, and we at the Letterman Podcast are forever grateful for the generosity of his time, advice, friendship, and of course above all, the entertainment he has brought us for decades. A MUST listen/watch!
