Summary
Episode 171 of The Letterman Podcast features a very special guest: Jed Rosenzweig, the founder and driving force behind LateNighter.com — the definitive online resource for all things late night television. Jed and Mike have a wide-ranging and passionate conversation that touches on his early professional days working at Yahoo! during the infancy of the internet, his time with High-Def Digest, and how those experiences led him to create LateNighter.com. They also dig into Jed’s personal journey as a lifelong fan of late night television — from growing up in New York and attending tapings of Saturday Night Live and Late Show with David Letterman, to his observations on the evolution of the genre. Jed opens up about the challenges and victories of building LateNighter.com as a startup, assembling an incredible team including esteemed journalist Bill Carter and Mark Malkoff, host of Inside Late Night. Together, they discuss the site’s mission, the state of late night in 2025, and where the format may be heading next. 📦 Brought to you by our one and only sponsor, Hello-Deli.com — the official source for Late Show with David Letterman merchandise, run by the legendary Rupert Jee.
