123 Scott Ryan Returns To Talk Conan's Return To The Tonight Show and How He Destroyed 'Hot Ones' Forever
About this episode
🎙️ Episode 123 of The Letterman Podcast features the return of our good friend, Scott Ryan. Among his many books, Scott wrote “The Last Days of Letterman,” chronicling the final six weeks of David Letterman’s legendary late-night run. He’s also penned oral histories on “30 Something” and “Moonlighting,” multiple books about David Lynch and Twin Peaks, and has a new book coming out, “The Last Decade of Cinema,” focusing on pivotal 1990s films.
🎤 Scott and Mike always have fantastic dialogues, and in this episode, we dive into Letterman, Conan O’Brien’s return to “The Tonight Show,” and his memorable appearance on “Hot Ones.”
Scott’s publishing company is found at tuckerdspress.com, and we happily endorse purchasing materials directly for signed copies. Heck, buy some for your friend too!
