The Letterman Podcast 142 Our Tribute To Nicole Ryan With Our Good Friend J Ryan #liveitwhileyagotit
Episode 142 of The Letterman Podcast
This episode takes a different tone as we memorialize Nicole Ryan, a cherished friend and an integral part of The Letterman Podcast community from the very beginning, who passed away after a courageous battle with MS.
In this deeply personal conversation, Nicole’s husband and frequent guest on our show, J Ryan, joins Mike exactly one month after Nicole’s passing. Together, they share some of the events and details of Nicole’s final days and give an honest update on how J is navigating through this incredibly painful time.
Though somber and, at times, raw, J and Mike have a frank and vulnerable discussion about life, love, loss, and the lessons we learn along the way.
There’s also some Letterman talk, including J’s heartfelt gratitude to Worldwide Pants and other figures who have extended their condolences.
Nicole’s radiant smile, infectious laugh, and her immense showbiz expertise and advice will never be forgotten. She will forever remain a beloved member of The Letterman Podcast family.
This episode drops on what may be the most difficult birthday J has faced in recent memory. From all of us in The Letterman Podcast community, we send J our deepest empathy, sympathy, support, and, most of all, love.

Nicole's legacy is that she educated so many people about MS. I'm really looking forward to the next cross country road trip with yellow car. The first one was very enjoyable and I followed it every step of the way.
Thank you @rob_kates 🙏❤️🥹
Wow! That's rough and emotional. I'm sorry to hear about Nicole. My thoughts and prayers are going out to J Ryan. Thanks for letting me know.
Thank you @kungemuller 🙏❤️🥹
@@latenightplayset My pleasure. Keep being who you are and remember that Nicole will always be with you in spirit.
I started watching the show in the summer of 86, I was 11 and watched until the end! Paul was so perfect for the show!! Funny and great timing!! Still watch anywhere I can!
The second song song ID request sounds like it might be Climax Blues Band's "I Love You" (1981), with a bit of lead guitar noodling on top.
I love his dead-pan style of humor
Great interview but I can't believe you didn't ask him about the bird's head.
@@NP-ip3nj appreciate that! We would have, but it’s been talked about so many times; his staff favorite moments on the official channel has a wonderful recap
I really like Gilmore's virtual set, looks great. It looks similar to Jimmy Fallon's Tonight Show set. I share his appreciation for Back to the Future and Johnny Carson. Those that want to study late night are smart to look at those who influenced Colbert, Kimmel and Fallon. Johnny was so influential, and he was the G.O.A.T. (Just ask Dave).
@@Rob_Kates isn’t it cool seeing someone so young knowing everything you just said? That is one of the main reasons we do this show. To pass on some of these truths to the next generation.
@@thelettermanpodcast True, because we don't want the greats like Johnny and Dave to be forgotten.
Brad Gilmore should host a real late night talk show on TV because he knows how late night TV works. Also, I am glad that he fell in love with late night TV very early on in his life. That reminds me of me because I fell in love with late night TV when I was 8. I watched Letterman, Conan, Kilborn, Ferguson, and Daly on Fridays and during the summer, and then Johnny Carson passed away. When that happened, and when my parents started talking about him, I started watching his show. That led me to Steve Allen, Jack Paar, Tom Snyder, Craig Ferguson, Arsenio Hall, and Spike Feresten among others. Back then, I have always been trying to entertain myself and others, but I didn't know how to do that. After watching all of the late night talk show hosts, I realized that I could entertain people on a late night talk show host. That's when I started thinking about hosting a late night talk show on TV, and that led to me hosting Weeknight Update on CZcams, but that's not the point. Brad Gilmore has a bright future ahead of him. That's for sure.
@@KungEMuller Brad is already a national treasure, that is being discovered more every day.
@@thelettermanpodcast You're definitely right. He's very good at what he does.
Mike C vs millennium falcon moment is still the greatest moment of this channel, but this is pretty good too. Gonna drink this in chapters.
@@BearbearbearbearbearbearRarrrr watch out for an upcoming moment, Mike C vs the Razorcrest.
@@thelettermanpodcast should be an anime for slackers.
I knew this was gonna be good, but it was better than good! You bring out the best in everybody - really enjoyed this one!!!! Thanks Mike and thanks "Wiggie"!!
@@LateShowBottomEnd Will, we appreciate your support so very much!
Wow! Zoran worked with David Letterman for a while before becoming the Vice President for Development at Migilla Entertainment. That's a success story right there. You can't top that.
This was a fascinating interview. To teach comedy at Harvard is the cherry on top of an impressive career. Anyone who knows a thing or two about comedy knows that many writers for Letterman, SNL, The Simpsons, etc came out of Harvard, including Conan O'Brien. It's cool to hear about Hugh's work with David Spade. I still miss his Comedy Central show, Lights Out with David Spade. Not sure why it went off, maybe it was tied to the pandemic.
Right on!
@@thenostalgicpodblast agreed!
Wow! Hugh Fink not only appeared on Dave's show four times, but he also knew Dave personally. It's almost like you were talking to one of Dave's closest friends. Hey! That's incredible. Okay. Hugh only talked to him on his radio show prior to the beginning of his late night career, and he didn't get a real chance to do his show until later on, but that still counts, right?
@@KungEMuller knew personally is probably a stretch, but it’s really neat how Hugh used to listen to, and interact with Dave’s radio show when he was a kid, and how it did come around later on in life.
@@thelettermanpodcast Yeah. It reminds me of this saying. What goes around comes around.
@@KungEMuller totally!
@@thelettermanpodcast I'm glad that we're on the same page.
My nephew made the documentary with his filmmaking partner, Violet. What’s notable is that Violet was 14 and Aiden 17 when they started the documentary- and were 18 and 21 when they posted it on CZcams after showing it at the Denver Film Festival and a couple of others in the past couple of years. I’m so proud of both these youngsters! Thanks for having Eileen on. Her stories are priceless!
@@KarinLynnBates it was fantastic! And while it works as a short, the supplemental things that got cut would also be fascinating. are those scenes available anywhere that you know of?
@@thelettermanpodcast They have HOURS of material but have decided to hold a lot of it back. It’s not a bad idea to create some shorts or other little samples, though. You can connect to Aiden through his CZcams page / the video in comments. He’s heading to the UK to go to film school for editing really soon. So he might not have capacity for it right now.
Her resume is very impressive. It is so nice to hear that Letterman and George Carlin were such great bosses and so good to their employees. Not everyone in show biz is that way.
@@Rob_Kates absolutely. Eileen is charmed in how many good folks she got to work with; and also in being given the ability to not let the other stuff affect her.
Wow! Eileen worked on Dave's Late Night show and several other NBC shows!? That's incredible.
@@KungEMuller she did indeed. Watch the video cue card girl for more!
@@thelettermanpodcast Okay. I will.
kudos for getting someone from the NBC period
@@gerrydooley951 more to come.
@@thelettermanpodcast thanks , you are doing a good job, constantly improving
A funny coincidence is I knew a guy who drummed in a local rock band back in the late 80s and 90s whose nickname was Zippy. I'm not sure if that stuck into his 50s
I just saw that you replied to my Rupert Jee "Letter Number 1" comment! You mentioned that you saw the clip. Do you have a link? That's my '15 seconds' of fame ;)
@@khunopie9159 you bet. Reach out in the FB group :)
@@thelettermanpodcast Will do! As my real FB account was banned for "misinformation" I'll join with my fakebook replacement under a nom de plume 'Peter' 🍻
Yes! You were able to get an iconic musician from David Letterman's Late Night show and Late Show on your show this week. Yes! Anton is great along with Paul, Sid, Will, and all of the others. You knew that Dave was cool with Paul Shaffer and various incarnations of his band.
@@KungEMuller very much so. The music was an essential element in the the alchemy of what made the productions so cool.
@@thelettermanpodcast You're right about that.
I love all of your interviews with the band members like Paul, Will, Felicia, Al, Tom and this one. Clearly, Dave was a fan of drums and the art of drumming. He would ask the drummers "Are those your drums?" I fondly remember drum solo week where they had the iconic Neil Peart on the show.
@@Rob_Kates drum solo week was fantastic. And you are right, every single member of the bad are just excellent people.
Another good guest snag for you... question- Have you ever received feedback that Mr. Letterman is aware of this podcast?
@@lisahardy9707 thank you! And yes.
Anton is the reason I actually started watching Late Night back around 1987. My friend who was a year older told me the drummer for Ace Frehley actually drums on the show so I would put a tape in and record it each night more so in early 1988. I got to meet Anton on Nov 15 2004 (Jerry Springfield, Jamie Oliver) after the show and he was super friendly and took the time to have a photo with this big dork. Thank you Anton for taking the time. It meant a lot. I actually have purchased the old Blue Yamaha kit that Anton played on from 86-92 around there. I know he had a wrapped kit with those white covers on them. I'm pretty sure that was the same kit. I love how it plays. I will use it to record one day and I think I'll try to record myself playing Rip It Out or similar. Thanks again Anton for all the great performances on drums plus all the goofy skits. It was a huge part of my youth.
@@dumbguydepot304 that’s fantastic :) All the members of Paul’s band are really down to earth and are extremely encouraging.
Anton's blue Yamaha Tour Custom drums were the very drums that I wanted to play in the late 1980s. I ended up buying white Power Tour Customs in 1989. Not quite in the same league, but I tried my best.
@@fortedrummer3026 And do they sound great? I love mine. I had a Pearl Birch (early 80's kit) kit, then a Premier birch. This one is Mahogany and it has really nice punch.
I'd like to pick the brain of your guest regarding one topic. He worked for Sirius XM during the tenure of my favorite comedy radio show of all time, The Ron and Fez Show. He must have known those guys. Sadly, Fez has passed away, but Ron Bennington still does a show with his daughter, simply called Bennington. Ron is one of the funniest guys around, but sadly, far too many people have not heard of him.
Dave's influence keeps rolling along. Johnny Mac is very funny, and I genuinely think that he should be on TV someday. That would be awesome.
Great interview, he's great. Can't wait until he comes back.
Many thanks, and agreed! Nick coming back will be fantastic and most likely surprising.
On CZcams it’s called, Late show with David King and me and David did over 100 shows in are garage for many years like lettermen did.
Me and David did a late show called, Late show with David king and we did it for 6 years from 2015 to 2021
I was not familiar with the Found Footage Festival but watched some of their videos and immediately subscribed. I heard about the guys going on newscasts as fake characters. I can see the correlation between what they do and the work of Steve Young.
100% We are seeing the influence of Dave & Company and the inspiration of happy mischief.
Wow! That guy went from working for Dave to making his own festival in a short amount of time. That's incredible.
Indeed! It's so fun watching the folks who worked for Letterman's productions create things of their own.
@@thelettermanpodcast Naturally.
I really enjoyed hearing all the fascinating anecdotes Dave shared with you over your 2 videos featuring him. I also sense that he has many more tales to offer. Granted he is one of the few writers you did stretch into 2 episodes, but I hope you can bring him back to share more of his unique perspective (writing/performing bits for both the hip late nite show & the more traditional tonite show) on the differences BTS in the 1980-90s late night tv universe. Your series is fantastic!
This was a great interview, and his concept for a podcast is one that's worthy. I am looking forward to the interview with Anton Fig.
Mike could you ask Rupert if it's possible to waive the "no shipments to Canada" thing? I grew up with Dave, and hey, Paul's a Canuck. I tried to buy stuff for me and my bro last year for Xmas and it wouldn't work. Good episode, I have the same experience with My Next Guest. It's good but my brain immediately wants to watch Dave with Barbara Gaines and Mary or Paul sitting on top of Trump Tower with an amazing view of the Manhattan skyline, even though it's behind old police tape and the skyline looks mysteriously like some dumpy part of Queens.
We will get that message through to him. You should be able to contact him through the site and make the request, and some sort of solution will most definitely be found. It’s interesting how My Next Guest is being received by Dave’s core audience. The good news is that the show does hit the Netflix top 10 and front page routinely, so it’s safe to say we will be getting more.
David Letterman has influenced so many people, and Chris was one of those people. I hope that he will meet Dave soon. Chris is amazing. Also, we have all been influenced by Dave in many different ways, and Dave made it possible for all of us to be here on CZcams.
Not to mention the fact he taught us all the proper pronunciation of the word, ‘Butttafuoco.’
@@thelettermanpodcast That's right! Dave's amazing.
It's exciting to hear about the upcoming developments at Newcomb's Ranch. There will be so much to do under one roof...food, drinks, merch to buy, stand up comedy, live music, podcast recordings, etc. It would be cool to get Letterman's old desk in there and do a Late Night Playset before a live audience.
That was incredible. A review of David Letterman's Netflix show, your trip to California, and your wife all at once!? Well done!
I know Ms. Frizzle.👍
Personally? In the Biblical sense?
@@thelettermanpodcast She was my teacher, but they had contracted out the bus driving by that point. Damn budget cuts.
@@bobbyk9815lol
Felicia’s voice ALONE is beautiful, then add her guitar skills into the picture,… PHENOMENAL! Hope all is good, Felicia, keep on keepin’ on! ✊👏👏🙏✌️
The thing I always liked about Shannon, was she was so professional and poised, then she would roar with laughter almost every time Dave mocked or smacked around all her products. Super beautiful inside and out person, and never took anything seriously. My mom was a breast cancer survivor so I really appreciate her story about that too.
Exactly. A communicator who had knowledge on an expert level. Really glad to hear your mom is the warrior she is.
Two generations of "Ice Ice Baby," I love that. 19 appearances, that is amazing. Even Martin Short could probably not match that number.
31 guest appearances, just on LS. With cameos, 41.
She was a great regular... The Rupert Jee Of Toys! BTW if you ever want to interview me for the Pod, I submitted an email to CBSMailbag in 2003 which was used as "Letter Number 1" "Dear Dave, Does Rupert Jee get invited to all the staff parties?" This spawned an hilarious skit where Rupert called Dave a "tightass"
Just watched the Rupert sketch! Email us!
Wow! You were able to get one of Dave's frequent guests on your podcast this week. Well done! I totally remember when Dave ran through the Christmas tree with the moving cupcake. That was epic, and Shannon made that possible. She did a great job.
She was one of the fixtures that made Late Show shine!
@@thelettermanpodcast True!
You got to meet Morty in person! Now, that's iconic right there!
Adventure time.
The letterman pod cast? I subscribed the minute I read that, watched 4 minutes and...unsubscribed.
Your longevity puts you in contention for our ‘viewer of the month.’ Well done, and we’ll let you know.
@@thelettermanpodcastWhat a shame. I know I’m not a captivating speaker, but I did this episode specifically to get that guy to subscribe. So close! We almost had him!
Also, we use one word, ‘Podcast’ Your version feels like it’s made of plaster.
@@betalegno worries. We’re an acquired taste. Like cooking sherry.
Wow! You were able to interview one of the final people who worked with Dave. That's just incredible.
These folks are unique in that they get to compare the two franchises.
@@thelettermanpodcast Indeed. It's always important to have people who worked with Dave on Late Night and The Late Show on your show because the two franchises are different, and Dave became very different as he got closer to his retirement.
@@KungEMuller we were referring to Letterman and Colbert, but agree with your statement too:)
@@thelettermanpodcast Oh. Right. Sorry. Yes. Dave and Stephen are totally different from one another, and Brian knew about that firsthand.
was a utility for decades so I especially appreciated this. Utilities see Everything!
Outstanding! Where did you serve?
The woman who brought on the Christmas toys was Shannon Eis.
Heh heh you bet. More to come…
The golden age of Late Night: Fallon & Leno on NBC, Ferguson & Letterman on CBS, Kimmel on ABC, Jon Stewart & Colbert Report on CC, Conan on TBS.
