About this listen

In our Season 8 premiere, host Ken Womack welcomes legendary musician, band leader, actor and comedian Paul Shaffer! In addition to being David Letterman's musical director and sidekick for 33 years, Shaffer has been a featured performer on "Saturday Night Live," guest star in multiple TV and film productions, and served as musical director and producer for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony since its inception. In this episode, Womack and Shaffer discuss how the Beatles put their own spin on American rock 'n' roll, Shaffer's own career pivot while growing up in Canada, whether guitar groups are on their way out, and if Lorne Michaels or Letterman was the bigger Beatles fan.
