R.I.P. LARRY "BUD" MELMAN.

"Everyone always wondered if Calvert was an actor playing a character, but in reality he was just himself -- a genuine, modest and nice man." - David Letterman

I am so sad!!! I just read that David Letterman announced on last night's show that Calvert DeForest (best known as Larry "Bud" Melman" died on Monday. He was 85 and apparently had been ill for a long time. Man, if you watched Letterman for years like I have, you will be very familiar with this guy. So sad. His shtick with Letterman brought many, many laughs over the years. Rest in peace my friend. Source: Contact Music
