Me, Dave (and others) at KHOU 11 Houston, 1993

As David Letterman's final Late Show airs tonight (5/20) and Dave, presumably, heads off into the Montana sunset, it's truly the end of an era. We celebrate, reflect and pay tribute to the man with this special episode of SnarkMonkey with guests who have, in some way, been impacted by Letterman in very different ways.  Long-time friend and fellow comedian Jeff Altman reflects on their relationship and how much Dave has done for him; Mark Jonathan Davis has had his own encounters over the years, but actually appeared on the Ed Sullivan Theatre stage doing a Stupid Human Trick; Crystal Zevon the former wife of musician Warren Zevon - the only guest to ever have an entire episode of The Late Show to himself; and the final word, literally, comes from the voice of Worldwide Pants himself, Jay Gardner.

In addition, Monkey-In-Chief Larry Morgan shameless shares his own thoughts and experiences in watching, meeting and enjoying Dave over the years.  Hope you enjoy.

Long-time broadcaster, sometime writer, wannabe director, occasional actor, more-than-occasional voice actor, part-time banjo tuner and former tuna canner Larry Morgan has managed to spend his entire career in radio and other media somehow not pissing people off. So after years of being told to "not talk so much" and "keep it short" he decide to Talk More and Go Longer with some of those people. Having a natural curiosity for others who are creative and how they got to where they are (obviously fueled by professional jealousy) and honing in on the events, people, films, TV shows and books that drove them to create - presented in a snarky, monkey-like way - is what this podcast is all about. Live - laugh - learn - throw a little feces with us and be an honorary Monkey as we bring the snark and go on this historic, ground-breaking audio journey. (Really, it's not that big a deal, but it should be fun.) -Larry Morgan

Established creative types from all forms of media - film, TV, radio, writing, internet, etc. - bring the snark every week.
