The Letterman Podcast 039 Lee Ellenberg Part 1

Lee Ellenberg is currently a writer for Jimmy Fallon's Tonight Show. He also worked for David Letterman & Company in one capacity or another from 1994 all the way until the end of the run in 2015. He was a page, worked in audience coordination, worked the reception desk for Dave's floor as well as the writer's floor, and for 15 years was a full fledged writer for Late Show with David Letterman. In part one we talk about the first part of Lee's career with Letterman, and he gives great insights as to how the show worked, and how he progressed up the ladder to his literal dream gig.
