There are only four shows left until America says goodbye to the "Late Show with David Letterman." And there for it all was Paul Shaffer, Letterman’s musical director and sidekick for more than 30 years. Shaffer joins “CBS This Morning” to discuss his post-"Late Show" plans.

Paul Shafer is a class act, I really like the respect & gratitude he has - that is the mark of a true gentleman!

It would be amazing to be able to see every musical performance from Late Night. I certainly missed more episodes than I saw and of course we never heard the band during commercials.

"33 years with the smartest, hippest, quickest man in show business." - a very strong and fitting tribute.

Thank you, Paul, for remembering Warren Zevon. Thank you and Dave both, for being the best friends WZ's music ever had. How many people would never have experienced his magic, if it hadn't been for you guys? Can't thank you two enough!

Well said, my friend. Warren was one of the best.

@brendaharper5998 8 жыл бұрын

+WiL Clark Yes. As a devoted Zevonite, for me, Warren was THE best....period. And now, with my own diagnosis entering it's 3rd month past their prediction, I look more and more to WZ and his amazing example for inspiration and courage. I couldn't have made it this far without his music for sure. And I'm still enjoying every sandwich .....

Remember the "Blues brothers", with John Belushi & Dan Akroyd starring as Jake & Elwood Blues? Paul Shaffer was the man responsible for putting together the band with some of the most talented musicians around. Paul was perhaps a bit quirky at times, but never-the-less he is a musical genius. I wish him the best.

+Hugh Jass The lighting inside a television studio is very bright. Considering Paul is 65 years old and has spent the last 43 years in the entertainment business, I wouldn't be surprised if he's photophobic. Or, like you noted, it could just be his shtick.

I liked the stripped down band they had the best. The one from the early years. They had the core 3 guys. The guitar guy, Wil Lee and Paul and Jordan on drums. But then they got Anton Fig and it was even better. The Worlds Most Dangerous Band is what they called it back then, I think.

He told Paul because he only made the decision that day and told Les Moonves. Remember he made the decision in Spring 2014, so Paul had a years notice.

Out of all late night network shows, when it comes to either sidekicks to the host or a band leader of a late night show. This dude has got to be at the top of the list of people that obviously have no personal opinions or is scared to simply voice his OWN OPINION. As many people have noticed in his tenure on the Letterman show how he mainly just repeated what Dave said. It was just annoying

@StevieStitches 9 жыл бұрын

chilyn81 Or he stayed upbeat and lighthearted since Late Night and Late Show with improvisational comedian/prankster/host David Letterman are comedy shows and he did his job as humorous band leader. Dramatic opinionated debates like a jackass would have been just annoying, and unfunny, unlikeable, and Dave would have had him replaced in 1982.
