He's like your aging, doofus uncle.

Now Paul, on the other hand, needs to just shut up and run the band.

political interviews.

He would be just as funny if he displayed his ability to use Twitter. Must be a Hoosier thing. JK

Not really a fan of Shaffer.

As far as tweeting woes - who cares?

and it's hilarious to me. And I think Paul is the best bandleader in late night (not that there are many bandleaders lol) THis is just one of the many reasons I think this: http://www.democraticunderground.com/10188039


edit to add: I also feel Letterman does the best interviews on TV. Bar None.

Your entire post is impenetrable to me.

Life is just ducky fine without tweet.

an acquired taste.

a very, uh, tactful way of putting it. But, as my wife often says, vomit is an acquired taste, too.

Me? Can't stand Paul Schaefer, or however he spells it. It's like he's always trying to get a few extra seconds of face time on camera. He hopefully realizes that the average viewer wants to see Dave, and listen to the band.

If anyone ever said they watched Letterman because of Paul Schaefer (sp), I'd ask him what he was smoking...so that I could be sure not to buy any.

I love Dave... but I watch for Shaffer too.
His schtick seems like an over-the-top parody of the ultimate sleazy lounge act to me, and that makes me

to sit down with Dave.

he is one of the best interviewers around. He is so self-effacing, but there is a very sharp mind behind that mask.

ah. sweet

It's really cool.
