Dear Ira Glass,
Just wanted to write and wish you luck on David Letterman tonight! Since I don't have Showtime, I haven't been able to watch the televised version of This American Life so I will have to be content with that small sighting, you sandwiched between Jessica Biel (Tufts alum, by the way) and Regina Spektor. (And come on, let's be honest, Dave is going to extend his chat with Jessica so you might consider having your very funniest material at the ready up top, just in case you're cut short.)
I also wanted to confess that your job is one of those dream jobs of mine, where in a different time and place I might give you a run for your money in the NPR radio talent contest. Rest assured, though, that I am content and ensconced in my own little life.
Your faithful listener,
A.

If, like me, you've ever thought it would be a great gig to host a public radio show like This American Life, you can find out more here (hint, hint, Matt). If you live in the Boston area, you're in luck! They're holding an open house to help you record your 2-minute audition. To vote, go here and they will randomly choose an entry for you to rate.

I'm sorry I missed Ira on Letterman last night! I just can't stay up that late anymore...

Sorry...the post was mislabeled with yesterday's date so you actually CAN still watch him tonight (Friday) or, at least, tape it for later. Yay, TiVo!
I'll have to TIVO this for sure...thanks for the heads-up. I, too, am too tired for Letterman anymore.
thanks!! i am so glad for this update. will be happy to see ira and dave together.
i love mr. glass (he is my favorite thing about NPR). i was lucky enough to see him 'perform' live. it was incredible, he had all the radio stuff at the ready and he played the people's stories. it was really amazing to see him do his studio work on a stage.
I have to admit, I've only seen pictures of him, so seeing him on tv was weird, I just couldn't match the voice with the face when he was talking. I loved the story about his wife.

J,
Yeah, that was weird for me, too. And was kind of nervous for him, too...worried that they wouldn't laugh at his jokes, etc.
