On today's episode I talk to novelist, columnist, and
Emmy-nominated television writer Bill Scheft. Bill started his
career as a sportswriter and as a stand-up. After twelve years
touring, he was hired as a monologue writer for Late Night with
David Letterman where he remained for 24 years until the
show's conclusion in 2015. In addition to writing for
Letterman, Bill also wrote for the Oscars, ESPYs and
almost every other major awards show, and he also contributed a
popular weekly humor column to Sports Illustrated for a
number of years. Bill is also an author, having penned four books:
The Ringer, the Thurber Prize for American Humor finalist
Time Won't Let Me, Everything Hurts, and his most
recent Shrink Thyself, which was published by Rare Bird
Books a few years ago.
