EP.240 - DAVID LETTERMAN
Santa and his podcast elf. New York, January 2025
Adam talks with American talk show legend David Letterman about his favourite people on the current British comedy scene, hanging out with comedy legends in the 70s, why he talked about being blackmailed on a 2009 episode of Late Night, why Bob Dylan wound him up in 1992, the brilliance of comedian Norm Macdonald, the challenges of parenthood, and why Dave hates photographs.
Conversation recorded face-to-face in NYC on January 29th, 2025.
Thanks to Séamus Murphy-Mitchell for production support and conversation editing.
