Friar Robert Morton, longtime executive producer of "Late Night with David Letterman" and "The Late Show with David Letterman," joins Joe Sibilia to discuss NBC and Carson Productions executive Dave Tebet's sponsorship for membership into the Friars Club, serving on the Friars Board of Governors, and deciding to take the Letterman show from NBC to CBS at the Friars Club.
