152 Friends Of The Show Volume I Part II

This episode is the thrilling conclusion to our first Friends of the Show series. Featuring an incredible lineup—prolific Letterman comedy writer Steve Young, OG Late Night with David Letterman writer Steve Winer, official Warren Zevon historian Adam Unger, TV historian Allison Lips, and Darin Cox, co-host of the Irritable Dad Syndrome podcast and content creator for Antenna TV—we pick up right where we left off. In Part Two, the conversation deepens, diving into even more late-night lore, with fresh insights, personal anecdotes, and side-splitting humor. And if Part One wasn’t enough, we wrap things up with more surprises and a resolution that will delight fans of David Letterman and beyond. Before we get into it, a huge shoutout to our sponsor, Hello-Deli.com—the one and only place to buy licensed Late Show with David Letterman merchandise.
