Not much comedy...
this is more of a story of the comedy club, and not really a whole lot of comedy is on the cd. I was hoping for more Jim Carrey on the CD, but there wasn't enough to please me. There are some interesting moments on the CD, and it may be good for you if you want to know about the history and so forth of the comedy store. ... Read more

Good for the newer fan
If you have just discovered the world of TV-Boy, grab a canned ham and a lovely beverage, and settle in for an enjoyable light read.Bill Adler has done a good job outlining the highlights of David Letterman's radio andtelevision career.The uninitiated will also learn about Dave's personallife, including his first marraige, his relationship with co-creator of'Late Night', Merrill Markoe, and the stalker who once camped out by hispool.

One particularly entertaining chapter is entitled, 'Dave onDave', which contains snippets of print and television interviews spanningthe course of Letterman's career.

For the seasoned fan, however, there isnothing new to be found in 'The Letterman Wit'.I would suggest you readBill Carter's 'The Late Shift' if you are looking for information on thelate night wars, 'Late Night: The Book' edited by Merrill Markoe, if youwant a quirky look at the making of the show, and 'The David LettermanStory' by Caroline Latham, if you want a more indepth peak into Dave'spersonal life.
