He’s talking about “ Ghoulardi,” the horror host who drew monster ratings with sketches and monster movies in the mid-1960s in Cleveland. “Young people now in Northeast Ohio will go, ‘Oh yeah, I've heard them talk about Ghoulardi, this late night show with Ernie Anderson.’ And the various shows that followed it, like 'Hoolihan and Big Chuck' [and '...
Another Northeast Ohio guest who O’Donnell pushed for was writer Harvey Pekar. His sometimes contentious appearances on the show are exemplified by this 1987 exchange with Letterman. Letterman: “You come [here] because you like me?” Pekar: “I don’t even know you, man!” O’Donnell recalls, "I just went like, 'You're not—that's not what you're suppose...
The guests could provide just as much comedy as the scripted desk pieces on “Late Night.” One enduring segment began in 1985 and led to a series of four books, all edited by O’Donnell. But he’s quick to share credit for the origins of the Top Ten List. “I think there was a lot of simultaneous inspiration. My metaphor: if a bunch of people are stran...
Other experimental episodes included one which was formatted as a daytime show. An experiment which never made it to air was fully animating an episode in Claymation, the brainchild of writer Matt Wickline, from Willowick. Growing up, he recalls being influenced by “Houlihan and Big Chuck,” and was star struck after presenting some of his early Sup...
Bhatia: “Tell me about some of the pieces which did make it on-air, such as the recurring pieces with Chris Elliott.” Wickline: “Chris was just fantastic and so fun to work with.

That inevitably meant that jokes sometimes didn’t quite land with the audience, even back in Northeast Ohio. O’Donnell’s father was a welder who spent his days working by the Cuyahoga River and had a terrific sense of humor. "I'd go home for Christmas and he would say, 'It's very funny, but that Paul Shaffer. He seems kind of like a phony baloney.'...
Growing up, they attended Wilbur Wright Elementary and John Marshall High School in Cleveland before making their way to Harvard. Steve eventually spent several years at American Greetings, providing more fodder for Letterman. “The last week I was at American Greetings, one of the executives took me in his office and shut the door. He says, ‘If you...
Looking back 40 years later, writers like Wickline also got a great deal out of writing for “Late Night.” “The sense of gratitude I have for a first job where Dave Letterman is the guy teaching you comedy. I mean, I don't think there's anybody better out there to learn comedy from. He just had the perfect gut and the perfect sensibility of what can...
