The Letterman Podcast 029 Eddie Brill

Eddie Brill has returned! Since his first appearance on episode 3 of The Letterman Podcast, the show has found its voice in many respects, and many of the dynamics between Mike and the guests have deepened. This episode is a prime example! He and Eddie continue down the rabbit hole they started down and it just keeps going! Eddie and Mike talk about the comedy scene then and now, what made a good comic for Late Show, the differences between Eddie and Jim McCawley (who used to book comics on Johnny's Tonight Show) and much more. One of the questions Mike got after the first episode was about what kind of things Eddie would talk to Dave about during commercial breaks at the desk. Eddie tells us about the first time it happened and the types of conversations had during those special times. Never ungrateful for the amazing journey Eddie got to experience, he goes into some of the contemplative writing he has been doing on social media, and the interactive nature of comedy with folks who follow and interact with his posts. Full of stories and anecdotes, Eddie himself could have a podcast going through all these amazing experiences; we are excited to have Eddie as a friend of the show, and that he is willing to tell these tales for us all to enjoy.
