AND NOW...An Oral History of "Late Night with David Letterman," 1982-1993 (Kindle Single)

In the early 1980s, before the dawn of cable television, the fresh and ironic obsessions of a charismatic young standup comic named David Letterman transformed comedy forever. In this definitive oral history of "Late Night," Lettermanâ€™s NBC 12:30 am talk show that aired from 1982 to 1993, writers, producers, executives and actors share revealing stories â€” from the origins of the "Top 10" lists and "Stupid Pet Tricks" to the battle over who would replace Lettermanâ€™s mentor, Johnny Carson, as host of "The Tonight Show," to Lettermanâ€™s final days at 30 Rock before moving to CBS for "The Late Show."

Brian Abrams has been described as "the Ken Burns of presidential alcoholism." His first book, "Party Like a President: True Tales of Inebriation, Lechery, and Mischief from the Oval Office" (Workman Publishing), is scheduled for release in February 2015. He has written for Playboy, Heeb, High Times, Mental_Floss and other publications, and has contributed to the books "Iâ€™m a Lebowski, Youâ€™re a Lebowski: Life, The Big Lebowski, and What Have You" and "Reefer Movie Madness: The Ultimate Stoner Film Guide." He lives in New York City.
