David Letterman, Barbara Gaines, and Bill Scheft on the set of The Late Show

Novelist/drummer/Letterman writer Bill Scheft talks to Third of Never’s Jon Dawson about the Rising Storm, The Truants, Stephen Colbert, Saturday NIght Live, Craig Ferguson, Sebastian Maniscalco, Jim Downey, and Al Franken.

Addendum to the Craig Ferguson portion of the conversation: “Ferguson got $5 million because he wasn’t selected to replace Dave. CBS wanted to get control back of the slot. Corden started two months before Dave went off the air.”
