Welcome to Episode 109 of The Letterman Podcast! 🎙️ In this enlightening installment, we’re joined by the talented Jon Beckerman, a Harvard alum and seasoned writer who played a pivotal role in the late-night legacy of David Letterman & Company.

Jon’s journey of comedic destiny began at Harvard, where he became part of the prestigious Harvard Lampoon, rubbing shoulders with some of comedy’s best writers and performers. His career took off when he joined Late Night with David Letterman as a writer a year before the historic transition to CBS. Jon also served as the head writer for the Late Show with David Letterman, contributing to the show’s iconic humor.

In this insightful, heartfelt and vulnerable conversation, Jon shares insights into his mentorship and friendship with Rob Burnett, detailing their collaboration on co-creating the series Ed for David Letterman’s production company, Worldwide Pants. A significant portion of the episode is dedicated to the beloved show Ed.

Joining us for part of the episode is Letterman historian, Don Giller, providing additional layers to our exploration of late-night history.

Rupert Jee, the maestro behind hello–deli.com, invites you to grab a slice of late-night history with a side of humor. It’s the only place where Late Show enthusiasts can shop for official merchandise, carefully curated to survive even the most extended Top Ten Lists.
