Steve Buscemi

Buscemi appears as a guest for the first time on The Late Show with David Letterman to talk about how he almost got into the show in 1994. He also shares his experience being a New York fireman during his early days as a stand-up comic.

Engine 55 is on Broome Street, and so we covered Little Italy and Chinatown and Soho and the Lower East side. Certainly in the early 80s it was probably busier than it is now, but I missed the heyday of when it was super busy in like the 60s and 70s.
