What is the worst part of working on late night talk shows?

Being on a daily deadline is a killer; it's truly something that makes that business a young man's business. When you have to put out a product every single day, with that high level of quality, it's hard. It eats up your life. And it's more than just the hours that you put in on the job; it's the hours that you have to be aware of everything going on. It's the hours that you have to spend in dark theaters. I was doing The Late Show; I used to approve all the comedians. I would approve the stand-ups we had on, and I would spend, you know, four out of seven nights a week, in the back of a night club watching acts. That's a lot of time. As it turned out, it took me all those years later, when I left the show, to start a family, and get married and have some resemblance of a life.
