Larry "Bud" Melman

I am a horrible SuperFan for not posting this earlier. Last week, a fixture in the success both "Late Night" and "Late Show". Calvert DeForest aka Larry "Bud" Melman, passed away at the age of 85.

If you've never seen the clip of him interviewing passengers in Port Authority, go to You Tube and check it out. A wonderful comic relief for the day.

I highly recommend reading this wonderful tribute by the Washington Post's Tom Shales:

Quote of the Day:
""Everyone always wondered if Calvert was an actor playing a character, but in reality he was just himself -- a genuine, modest and nice man. To our staff and to our viewers, he was a beloved and valued part of our show, and we will miss him." - David Letterman on Calvert DeForest

The 3's

I was up in Boston this weekend to celebrate the 3rd birthday of BabyBunny. It's incredible to believe that three years have gone by so quickly. I took my rightful place on the couch and watched the giant TV. There was cake and Utz's cheese balls, which I am entirely addicted to.

As you can see, BabyBunny was thrilled to have me there:



I have such a way with children. Happy Birthday BabyBunny!!

Perfect From Now On

A shout out and congratulations to my friend John Sellers on the publication of his new book, Perfect From Now On. The book chronicles his love of independent music, specifically Guided By Voices.

He appreciates pop culture and is a devoted SuperFan to his many interests. John has a wry and snarky sense of humor, and I think you'll really enjoy the book. It's a good read and I highly recommend you go to your nearest bookstore and buy it. NOW!!
