One of my favorite elements of the original Late Night with David Letterman had to be the bizarre presence of Larry “Bud” Melman. You can’t really do the Capote-esque guy justice by mere description, so here he is in action . . .

Man, I miss the early crazy Late Night. Biff catching basketballs in a trash can on the sidewalk . . . Late Night Monkey Cam . . . World’s Most Dangerous Band . . . ah, we weep. Enjoy your afterlife, Larry “Bud”.
