great interview, hilarious guest, charming host...thanks! btw anybody reading this in case you missed it also catch terry gross interviewing tracy morgan oct 23, just caught the podcast -- also riveting tho for different reasons
The name Klosterman (or Kloosterman) is probably of Dutch or German origin. It means "man who lives in a monastery"
Paul Shaffer being allowed to get away without saying anything about the current Letterman scandal? This was a real puff piece!
Thin stuff.
