    The idea that this man opened the doors for Scorsese, Coppola, Nicholson, Ron Howard, James Cameron, and so many more is quite an achievement. R.I.P to the great Roger Corman.

    Such a great segment. I honestly love Roger's voice and way of speaking, too - it's so calming and old school. Really glad Letterman/his team more likely are putting up these clips from his old, "late late" show from the 80s - it was such an excellent show, and at that time iin the zeitgeist, you could actually go in-depth, and serious, and it was no problem.
