Adam talks with American talk show legend David Letterman about his favourite people on the current British comedy scene, hanging out with comedy legends in the 70s, why he talked about being blackmailed on a 2009 episode of Late Night, why Bob Dylan wound him up in 1992, the brilliance of comedian Norm Macdonald, the challenges of parenthood, and why Dave hates photographs.Conversation recorded face-to-face in NYC on January 29th, 2025.Thanks to Séamus Murphy-Mitchell for production support and conversation editing.Podcast illustration by <a href="https://helengreenillustration.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Helen Green</a>Thanks to Wolf at <a href="https://www.wtfmediastudios.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">WTF Media Studios</a> in NY<a href="https://nordvpn.com/buxton" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal</a> Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee!PLEASE DONATE TO STAND UP 2 CANCERAre you able to spare £30, £20 or £10 to help advance life-saving cancer research?Text THIRTY, TWENTY or TEN to 70404 to donate to @SU2CUK.Text costs £30, £20 or £10 +1 standard rate txt. 16+, UK mobs only.
