089 Joanna Jordan has booked more folks than the desk sergeant of a local police station

Joanna Jordan is the owner and founder of Central Talent Booking, one of the premiere celebrity firms in the world. Go to Centraltalentbooking.com for details. Among the many services CTB provides, Joanna and her team book the guests of the very highest regard for top-tier shows such as Jimmy Kimmel Live and Marc Maron's wildly successful podcast.

But before that, Joanna was the booker for Late Show with David Letterman. Plucked from her television job in Britain by Robert Morton, Joanna was hired to help organize the chaotic world of booking Late Show. She got so good at it, that when she made the decision to go out on her own and start CTB, David Letterman's production became her very first client.

In this episode of The Letterman Podcast, Joanna takes time out of her extremely busy schedule to have a walk down memory lane with Mike. She tells us how she got the gig, some of the bumps that needed to be smoothed out, some of the guests she was proud to land, and even one or two that got away.

Every bit as powerful as she is delightful, this conversation will provide all sorts of tidbits about a part of the show the average viewer might not think about normally.

The Letterman Podcast is brought to you in part by Rupert Jee's Hello Deli. Go to Hello-deli.com to purchase official Late Show with David Letterman merchandise, and while you still can, Rupert Jee merch as well.
