In that hallowed first year of the show, I sent Larry "Bud" Melman a fan letter. He (or an NBC intern) sent me this autographed photo. It has graced my walls on a couple of occasions. I think it will again, starting tonight.I was lucky enough to see Mr. Melman in person at The Other Cafe in San Francisco, on his nationwide comedy tour (1984, I think).
Late night TV was never funnier or more original than in the early years of that program.

Letterman’s Larry “Bud” Melman was also the cousin of actress Bebe Daniels (42nd STREET) + great-nephew of inventor Lee De Forest — a key figure in the development of radio and talking pictures.
