164 Greg Burmeister Paged For Letterman and Once Slept On A Pile Of Late Show Crew Jackets

This episode features Greg Burmeister, who served as a Late Show with David Letterman page during the final stretch of the show’s legendary run. Greg shares with Mike how he made the leap from Minnesota to New York as a musician, only to land his first gig in the city as a page for Late Show. The two bond over their love of music as Greg recalls some of the incredible bands he saw and interacted with during his time working at the Ed Sullivan Theater. He also shares stories about his surprise run-in with Ryan Reynolds on his very first day, the time he saw Conan O’Brien walk past the Late Show marquee, and many more behind-the-scenes memories. Greg is also the co-host of the podcast Talking Schmidt alongside fellow former page (and Letterman Podcast alum) Eric Schmidt.
