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. Plus, discover how Robert's relationship with David Letterman comes full circle when he reunites with Letterman at the Friars Club twenty years after leaving "The Late Show." Also, Robert shares memories of (almost) booking former Abbot Frank Sinatra on Letterman, Friar Barbra Streisand's conditions appearing on the show, living in the lap of luxury at the Sahara in Las Vegas at the invitation of Friar Buddy Hackett, producing Friar George Lopez's late-night talk show "Lopez Tonight," and Friar Bob Hope's tricks of the trade!
