Paul Shaffer, Steve Jordan, Anton Fig

Finished reading Paul Shaffer's "We'll Be Here for the Rest of Our Lives". I recommend it. A couple of the drummer's that Paul talks about are the drummers he had at Saturday Night Live, and on The Late Show with David Letterman... Steve Jordan and Anton Fig. Fig took over for Jordan on the Letterman show in 1986. He says the Letterman show never feels like it's "just a job" because it's a different show, with different guests (and different songs) all the time. The band rehearses from 2:50 to 3:10 pm to learn all the cues and comedy bits, then they rehearse with the feature act from 3:15 to 4. At 4:20 they warm up the audience for an hour and then it's show time!
