This Wednesday, March 23 @ 6:00pm est: LATE NIGHT with DAVID LETTERMAN free webinar! 2022 marks the 40th Anniversary of the debut of “Late Night with David Letterman,” the NBC nighttime talk show that put the young comedian from Indiana on the pop culture map, one who would shape the style and tone of late night television for decades to come! On the occasion of “Late Night”’s 40th, photographer Marc Karzen, who shot all of the show’s “bumpers,” the still graphics of New York City scenes branded with the words “Late Night with David Letterman,” has published a handsome coffee table book containing the “greatest hits” of the “bumper” crop—and pop culture historian Arlen Schumer (author/designer, The Silver Age of Comic Book Art) will showcase Karzen’s book in this new webinar! Schumer was one of the handful of graphic designers who hand-lettered the type treatments of “Late Night with David Letterman” integrated inventively into Karzen’s photographs, and thus will provide a first-person account what it was like to work on the groundbreaking late night show!
