RIP Larry Bud Melman

Old-school David Letterman regular Calvert DeForest (aka Larry Bud Melman) passed away this week at age 85.

"Everyone always wondered if Calvert was an actor playing a character, but in reality he was just himself -- a genuine, modest and nice man," Letterman said. "To our staff and to our viewers, he was a beloved and valued part of our show, and we will miss him."
