The Late Show
If someone reading this would like to pass on the website to Dick Lord I'm sure he would be most interested.
I ticked off one of the main things that I wanted to do on this trip yesterday and that was to be a part of the audience for the Late Show with David Letterman. The day i tried for had Christopher Walken as the guest and Billy Corgan playing which would have been too cool. I think I got there a bit late but I was given a ticket for the next day where it was Michael Keaton and the author David Sedaris who I had never heard of but who was extremely funny so may be worth a read. Michael Keaton was alright you have to respect him, he was the original Batman after all (I saw the new one the other day too), they talked about New Zealand a lot, Letterman seems to have a bit of a thing for us but not much knowledge.
The whole thing is so slick. I could'nt believe that they just tape it straight no retakes or anything. The banter between all of the crew that now feature on the show is fantastic, even paul is better live. The CBS orchestra is pretty amazing they play during teh simulated commercial breaks.
One weird thing was that you cold feel the 8th avenue subways going by underneath during the taping.
Well worth making the effort for when you are in New York
