Episode 169 of The Letterman Podcast features not one, not two, but three of our favorite humans: legendary Late Show comedy writer Steve Young, our amazing sponsor and friend Rupert Jee, and his equally wonderful girlfriend Irene Hoffman.Steve recently debuted his brand-new one-man show, EGONT, at the sold-out Caveat Theater in New York City, performing much of this material live for the very first time. Rupert and Irene were in the audience, and Mike watched remotely—so the gang gathered for a fun, insightful chat about the show, its creative genesis, and what it felt like to bring it to life.Along the way, they also catch up on a few classic stories and even solve the mystery of SAGG peanut butter. Yes, really.And speaking of Rupert, don’t forget that he still runs Hello-Deli.com, one of the only places left to snag official Late Show with David Letterman merchandise. So grab a shirt, a mug, and one for your best pal while you’re at it.Now here comes the part where I grovel—please like, share, subscribe, and leave a positive comment so the algorithm will stop bullying me. Seriously, help a buddy out.#LettermanPodcast #DavidLetterman #SteveYoung #RupertJee #HelloDeli #LateShow #ComedyWriting #EGONT #CaveatTheater #SAGGPeanutButter #IreneHoffman
