I'm not an idiot, but I play one on the radio.

I always found Letterman's rather conceptual approach to comedy more to my taste than the more topical approach taken by other talk-show hosts/comedians. The Larry "Bud" Melman character was the apotheosis of that. The hot towel bit Al spoke of...his dyslexic malapropisms...the time Dave dressed him up as a teddy bear and sent him through 30 Rockefeller Centre as a greeter...his demonic laugh...all strangely hilarious memories. And he, himself, seemed blissfully unaware how funny not only his character was, but, again, how funny the concept of his character was.
Can you imagine anybody save Calvert bringing life to the Larry "Bud" Melman character? I can't!
