He was by far the best part of David Letterman when I watched it 20 years ago or so.

He muswt have been a really great actor, as I would feel sorry and embarrased for him as he would bumble through his skit. (Which of course, was the whole shtick!).

I'm sorry to hear this. This brings back memories of the era when David Letterman was still off-beat, sarcastic, non-formulamatic and funny, a show that gave me a lot of laughs and good times in college when he was still on, and still funny, after the Tonight Show on NBC. I miss when Letterman and his show were fun, and Larry Bud is a remnant of that era, rather than the bitter partisan Michael Moore suck-up he is now.

Larry bud was great at being, well, inept. All those interviews he'd do with people on the street where he'd pull the microphone away from him or the interviewee halfway through the question were great.
I'll have to go find my early Late Night anniversary special tapes some day.

Agreed. Letterman is completely unwatchable due to his partisan politics. He is snide and I would love to smack him. I smirk with glee knowing he never got Johnny's chair.

Too Bad. He was a Funny Guy!
When those network heels at NBC would not let him use the Larry Bud Melman name because it was, "considered the intellectual property of NBC", as if anyone else could use it, it really pissed me off.
To: My Favorite Headache
Damn. He was a funny guy.

R.I.P, Calvert. You made me laugh many times.

This is sad news. Any retrospective of Letterman's late night shows would be incomplete without including Calvert DeForest.

Why no memorial? God rest his soul, and I hope the people pay due respect to him in private. Letterman owes him.

Letterman's show used to be hilarious a long time ago. I remember the skits with Chris Elliott (remember the panicky guy and the guy under the seats - were they same?), and Brother Theodore was funny too.
That was a very long time ago. I haven't watched that show in years.

That's a shame. I remember seeing him showing up at the end of the closing credits in the early days to announce "This has been a Melman production". Funny stuff.
To: flashbunny
LOL. I remember those interviews.

That's the one. I knew it was at either the bus or train station.

Chris Elliott is an under-appreciated comic genius. I still have some episodes of "Get A Life" on tape somewhere that need to be burned to DVD before they rot.

Goodnight funnyman...
I will hoist a "Toast on a Stick" this evening in your honor.
