Letterman Podcast 002 Marc Karzen

It's not hyperbolic to say that Marc Karzen was instrumental in creating the attitude of the visual tone of 'Late Night With David Letterman.' Karzen, along with art director Bob Pook and graphics coordinator Edd Hall, created the bumpers we the viewers would see as Late Night broke for and came back from commercials. The Emmy nominated “No-Logo” concept would take the show title and integrate it into natural late night New York settings.  Marc and his team's work is being celebrated in his book "Late Night Bumpers, the 40th Anniversary Edition" which is now available, and a must purchase for Letterman enthusiasts.  Marc visited the podcast to talk about the genesis and process of their work, highlights of some of the photos, and in a surprising twist, how Marc inadvertently created the 'Letterman Jackets' tradition within Dave's world. The Letterman Podcast is extremely proud to have Marc in our community,  and to debut the first of hopefully many appearances on the show.
