Created the Honeydrippers studio "group" featuring Robert Plant on vocals.

adios!

[matginzac]

Sheesh, can’t he just GO AWAY already?
Hope one of his last line ups has the Palin girls on it so he can get down on his knees and beg their forgiveness....POS.

They should hit the interstate circuit and play all of the Indian casinos before the CBS orchestra “tribute” bands start coming out. Just a thought.

Dorkiest looking late-night bandleader ever!

[N. Theknow]

He was on Jeopardy and made Wolf Blitzer look positively brilliant.

I loathe letterman, but Paul Schaeffer is an amazing “musician’s musician”.

[EveningStar]

Remember this?: Paul Shaffer as Don Kirshner, on SNL, introducing the Blues Brothers

[cornfedcowboy]

What? Peter Gabriel on Letterman is the best! Along with orchestra.

Not a fan of Letterman (he’s a leftard twit).

But Schafer and his band are top notch musicians with a whole mess o’ talent.

[Jack Hammer]

God bless you, Doc Severinson, wherever you are.

[discostu]

I liked them better as the World’s Most Dangerous Band in the NBC days. You could always tell which musical guests were Paul’s idea and which came from the network.

[Larry Lucido]

If he hadn't neglected to return Jerry Seinfeld's call, you may have known him as George Costanza, too.

He could never have handled the Pensky file.

[woodbutcher1963]

I am very disappointed.
I can not fathom that nobody has posted the picture of Curly Bill’s character from the movie “Tombstone” stating:

Well BYE!

[AppyPappy]

There was a band?

[JaguarXKE]

He will cease degrading the airwaves on May 20th! That just happens to be my wife and I’s 40th wedding anniversary! What a great present!

[Leep]

Haven’t watched a show in over a decade. Letterman ceased being funny.
