N EW YORK — Hidden in the
attention being paid to David
Letterman leading to his May
20 retirement is the knowledge that
it will also mean the end of a regular
television role for America’s bandleader,
Paul Shaffer.
The gravel- voiced sidekick, who’s
65, isn’t ready to leave show business,
even with the gig of a lifetime coming
to a close after 33 years.
“ Of course, I had the old mixed
feelings, sadness,” Shaffer said during
an interview in his office behind
the Ed Sullivan Theater. “ Now I have
come around to just being absolutely
thankful for such a wonderful run,
such a long run, working for a guy
who has been nothing but encouraging
to me.”
The Thunder Bay- born musician is
a walking trivia answer of showbiz
credits: bandleader for the original
Saturday Night Live troupe, same role
for the Blues Brothers, part composer
of the 1980s hit It’s Raining Men and
the Late Show theme, cringe- worthy
record executive Artie Fufkin in This
Is Spinal Tap and music director for
the annual Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
inductions. If he hadn’t neglected to
return Jerry Seinfeld’s call, you may
have known him as George Costanza,
too.
He’ll always be linked in public consciousness
with Letterman, however,
like Ed McMahon and Johnny Carson.
Until Shaffer interviewed for the
bandleader job that began in 1982, he
had never met Letterman. Shaffer was
asked what he saw for Letterman’s
post- midnight Late Night on NBC,
keeping in mind they could only afford
a few musicians. He envisioned something
like the lounge bands he saw at
the beginning of his career in Toronto,
a lead keyboard player and a couple of
other instruments, interpreting Stax
and Motown hits.
Letterman said that sounded great,
that he’d always thought of himself as
the Wayne Cochran of comedy. Shaffer
cracked up at the reference to an
obscure 1960s soul singer who looked
a little like Jay Leno with an oversized,
platinum blond pompadour.
The time slot after Carson “ sounded
like the hippest opportunity, like in
Las Vegas when a performer would do
a late late show for the other performers
or cab drivers on the strip. That’s
how I related to it. It was all perfect
for me.”
Starting at a time when his five
years at one job, on Saturday Night
Live , seemed like an eternity, Shaffer
said he never felt tempted to leave
Letterman. He’s had the freedom to
do other things while the Late Show
let him lead a band — perform in front
of an audience, do sketch comedy and
match wits with a TV legend. That’s
not to say it was always easy.
“ I spent time preparing funny, offthe-
wall lines, something Jerry Lewis
had said, for example,” he said. “ I was
doing quite well with it, I thought.
( Letterman) said, ‘ I would rather we
just have a conversation and try to
talk.’ Well, that was daunting to me,
but I did. That’s when I began to see
what he really needed from me.”
Through the years, Shaffer has
become like a security blanket to
Letterman. As anyone who’s been in
his frigid studio knows, he’s a host
who likes things Just So. Shaffer will
interject quick remarks — “ Instagram
that right away,” he said after his boss
took a selfie Tuesday night — or lead
the band into a snippet of Tequila for
a Top Ten list about Cinco de Mayo
parties. Sometimes it’s as simple as
breaking the silence, an “ ahh” or
slight cackle.
Letterman has a habit of calling a
pre- show meeting just when there’s
too little time to seriously discuss
things. And after his heart bypass surgery
a decade ago, Letterman stopped
rehearsing regularly.
“ The show got way more fun at that
point, way more spontaneous,” Shaffer
said.
The bandleader worked with plenty
of heroes; James Brown asked to
come on after he heard Shaffer’s band
playing some of his music on the show.
This added another, delicate task to
his duties: it was Shaffer’s job to sometimes
tell performers they’d have to
cut a portion of their song because of
television time constraints.
“ I’ve gotten better at what I do over
the years, if I may humbly say,” he
said. “ When I started I may not have
been able to work with artists as well
as I do now. If you work with people,
you get to understand what they need,
when they need it, what you should or
shouldn’t say.”
In two weeks’ time the CBS Orchestra,
expanded beyond the bare- bones
band Shaffer had in the NBC days,
disbands. Shaffer has his options; he
plays a little jazz and wants to keep in
comedy. Maybe a TV drama will offer
a story arc. The biggest adjustment
will be the loss of the routine, knowing
where he had to be on weekday
afternoons.
“ This was such a long run, so if I’m
meant to get a gig in a piano bar in
Palm Springs.... I’m not too worried at
this point,” he said. “ I feel like I’ve had
a lot of fun. How can you keep having
all the fun? Eventually, you’ve got to
let others have some fun.”

NEW YORK — Money from the auction
