About this episode
Glynn Borders never thought he would have a job heading up the special effects department for Late Show with David Letterman. Starting out in the theater, Glynn had an unlikely, and very enjoyable job, fall in his lap, which ended up giving him a career he really loved. Glynn was responsible for many memorable moments on Late Show, and he and Mike have a great time discussing a few of them. Remember Dave's vibrating desk? That was Glynn. Anytime you saw a man on fire? Yup, also Glynn. Who made it snow when Darlene Love sang annually on the Late Show Christmas Episode? Glynn and his team of course! They also discuss Glynn's career after Late Show, including his Broadway production, "The Dark Star From Harlem," recounting the story of Josephine Baker, and the film shorts he created.
