150 Alex Hazard says Jerry Springer was a bit of a letdown compared to working for Letterman

Episode 150 of The Letterman Podcast celebrates a special guest and a pivotal moment in late-night history with Alex Hazard. Alex started as an intern during the final chapter of Late Show with David Letterman, a role that ultimately led to a full-time position in the audience coordination department. For Alex, his time at the Ed Sullivan Theater was pure magic. In this episode, Alex shares his journey, from how he first landed the internship to the thrill of being brought back full-time. He and Mike dig into memories from dozens of tapings, unforgettable behind-the-scenes moments, and even the Live on Letterman Concert Series. While Alex went on to work on shows like Jerry Springer, nothing compared to the time he spent at Late Show—an era that left an indelible mark on him and continues to be one of the most memorable times of his life.
