Paul Shaffer Might Leave 'Late Show With David Letterman' After His
Contract Expires
by Kimberly Nordyke
It's hard to imagine David Letterman without Paul Shaffer by his side,
but the late-night host's longtime sidekick and musical director says
he might be ready to call it a day when his Late Show contract
expires.
“We’ve been on 30 years so now we’ve got another two years … I’m going
to be certainly ready to lie down after that, take a nap,” he told TV
Guide Canada over the weekend.
Still, he admitted that nothing is set in stone just yet.
"Life is nutty -- anything can happen," he added. "I’ve been so lucky
and blessed to be working this long in show business. And whatever
happens now is just gravy to me.”
Shaffer, 62, got his start in entertainment as the musical director
for the Toronto production of Godspell and went on to become a member
of the Saturday Night Live house band. He also released two solo
albums and co-wrote and co-produced the 1984 hit song "It's Raining
Men."
Shaffer joined up with Letterman in 1982 for the launch of Late Night
With David Letterman on NBC, leading the World's Most Dangerous Band.
In 1993, he made the move with Letterman to CBS for Late Show, where
he leads the CBS Orchestra, after NBC passed Letterman over for the
Tonight Show hosting job in favor of Jay Leno.
Shaffer earns a reported $5 million for his Late Show gig.
Despite the fact that he's considering leaving his longtime cohort, he
has nothing but praise for Letterman, calling him the "quickest guy in
show business."

HR botched its lead. Its source (which it links) specifically referred to _the show's_ contract, i.e., with CBS, and not Paul's contract with the show. Meaning that Paul is uncertain whether he'll continue with _the show_ once Dave retires.
This is a non-story.

Why is it hard to accept that a 62 year old millionaire might want to kick

doing the show every night. I'd be on some exotic island paradise enjoying
the fruits of my labor long ago at his age.

Paul releases statement debunking the non-story:
“In an interview with a reporter, I made two unrelated points which, joined together, seem to say something that isn’t true. It’s true that the show was recently extended for two years, and yes, someday when it’s all over, I will most likely take a nap. But I hope that day never comes. As long as the show goes on, I will be there for as long as Dave wants me on it.”

You don't know what "sycophant" means; I.E, "A person who acts obsequiously toward someone in order to gain advantage".
But as there can be no question of anyone here "gaining an advantage" from Paul for defending him, you're just flinging your usual baseless BS.
> Know you nothing of how contract negotiations work?
Well, now we know how *you'd* do it -if anyone were crazy enough to give you a contract for anything, that is. But alas, there are also quite a number of honorable folks out there -and the comparison doesn't favor you.

It's amazing how dishonest people always pretend that everyone else is as sleazy as they are. Probably the only way they can stand to see themselves in the mirror every morning.

The argument is why Shaffer announced he was quitting and then
mysteriously retracted that statement a day later. Do the math.
Last I checked, the group exists for the purpose of DISCUSSION, not
suppression. Look up those two words and learn to co-exist with those

Sorry. But I never claimed to know "the truth", I just said that you automatically think the worst of everyone. With no basis. And *that's* the truth.

The truth is as I posted on the 15th: "HR botched its lead. Its source (which it links) specifically referred to _the show's_ contract, i.e., with CBS, and not Paul's contract with the show. Meaning that Paul is uncertain whether he'll continue with _the show_ once Dave retires."

Which Paul then clarified in his statement. It wasn't a ploy for more money; it was just a botched quote.

every post they send; and there's *never* any rhyme, reason, or
meaning to them...
But we call people who do that sort of thing 'disturbed'; because
they don't live in the real world where folks have reasons for
the things they do, A follows B in the alphabet, and 2+2 equals a
number between 3 and 5 pretty consistently.

"Alt *FAN* Letterman", pray tell?
It isn't "Alt *SLAM* Letterman" and it's a mystery why you felt
it was a good idea to show up here, post a constant litany of
complaints about the show, and then act surprised and hurt
(see above) when nobody else wanted to go down that road with you.
You take the term "sense of entitlement" to a whole new level, Jess:
as if you seriously think the world -this Newsgroup included-
is supposed revolve around you and your personal desires. And
you can't seem to cope with the fact that you're *never* going to
be able to force everyone else here to do what *YOU* want them to
do, so you post an endless stream of angry insults and profanity
instead: as if that ever got someone what they wanted...
It's the act of a spoiled child. Saying "If you won't let me dictate
how we play the game around here I'm gonna try to ruin it for
everyone else!"
But the game's not around here any more Jess, and you aren't allowed
on the new field.

your "You give nightmares to many" assertion out of the water.
So, again, I ask, anything to specifically cite that irrefutably backs
up your claim of: "You give nightmares to many" as some form of
undeniable proof? Have you conducted surveys? Polled by phone, internet,
printed media, etc.?
No proof kinda hurts your credibility, right?

It means you don't know the difference between "vein" and "vain".

the wrong "nothing". She's not in the least interested in the facts
of the case -and indeed; she simply invents her own facts whenever
she needs 'em.
Instead, she's concerned with the fact *OF* the argument. It gives her
the chance to fling insults at random without having to be responsible
for any consequences, as she would be be in real life.
Just as in Wiseguy's case, such people almost invariably hide their real
identities out of fear that there *might* be consequences; whereas
non-trolls rarely bother to hide behind a computer keyboard.

includes a personal attack replete with insults, then it becomes just
that, a personal attack and invites a response.
Move on? Sure, until such time you post a personal attack. If that
happens, the responses will return, I can assure you.

Astericks have been used to indicate emphasis on Usenet for close to

It's also remarkable that for all the BS you just posted above (stuff
everybody "knows" because they read it somewhere on the internetty thing)
millions of people conduct their business on the web -and thereby let
the whole world know who and where they are- every single day and
never have a problem with psychopaths showing up with violence in mind.
And that's because they're not what we call "paranoiac".

2.) We also know that fictional psychopaths hang out exclusively
in Newsgroups, so people who do business elsewhere on the web are
perfectly safe in posting their contact information while those who
do on a Newsgroup are stupid and suicidal.
