  1. What a great interview! Lassally is the ultimate late night TV insider. I wish he would do more interviews. It was great to hear about all of his memories. Sounds like he really helped Steven Wright with his big break. I love the anecdote about Johnny carrying his lunch to work each day in a brown paper bag.

    What a coup to get Peter Lassally. I’m glad your enthusiasm and your knowledge moved him enough to let you do the interview. Could listen to him talk about his experiences in TV for hours and hours. Great job!
