Mallory Musallam filed a class action complaint against CBS Broadcasting, CBS Corporation and the retiring late night host’s Worldwide Pants Inc. for herself and everyone who has ever been an intern on the show. "Named Plaintiff has initiated this action seeking for herself, and on behalf of all similarly situated employees that also worked on The Late Show with David Letterman, all compensation, including minimum wages and overtime compensation, which they were deprived of, plus interest, attorneys’ fees, and costs," says the jury demanding filing in New York Supreme Court

...

Claiming that the production company and CBS intentionally wrongfully classified the interns that work on the CBS late night show, Musallam says their actions were and are a violation of New York State labor law.

Wasn’t one of the Obama children working as an intern for NBC recently? Lol.

That's short for Worldwide Trouble Keeping It In Dave's Pants Inc.

When he showed up at Cal Poly University (SLO) one time, it was a lecture scheduled in mid-morning at one of the big halls in the Student Center. To this day I believe I had my priorities straight -- I missed my lecture in some science or history class, and caught him instead. Apparently a LOT of students had the same priorities. The place was packed like a sardine can, and when he spoke, you could have heard a pin drop at times.

I find the Letterman interview painful to watch! {^) Letterman is such a clueless maroon!

It's kinda worth it to get the Warner Bros. five-disc CDs of classic cartoons because the special features include some great interviews with the guys who made the cartoons. I'm also a big Jack Benny fan, and Mel Blanc was a major element of Benny's shows, radio and TV.

Regarding Letterman's ignorance in Mel's milieu, a famous Foghorn Leghorn quote comes to mind:

"There's something kinda eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeewwweehh about a boy who's never played baseball."

Will look into that five-disc set - sounds terrific.
