The Letterman Podcast 019 Steve O'Donnell Part 2

After the unexpected power outage that interrupted the epic conversation between head writer Steve O'Donnell and Mike was in the rearview mirror, the unlikely duo seamlessly continued their dialog. So for all who have been waiting with baited breath to find out how Steve and Shecky met, fear not! That question will be answered, along with others. What was one of the code names used for Dave? In this episode it's revealed, and the answer might surprise you. What is the word Steve used in his interview that got him hired? You must ingest this episode to find out. Mike also gets to express his appreciation to this giant in the world of comedy, writing, and of course Letterman. Part 2 has a lot of fun, laughter and inspiration. Mike even may have found a theory about the Top 10 list's creation that may not have been discovered before. There is Larry 'Bud' Melman talk as well as a shout out to Madeline Smithberg, and a very nice dialog about Steve's twin brother Mark who passed away in 2012. If you have ever had an appreciation for David Letterman, Steve's echoes can nearly always be heard.
