1. I know that when Letterman moved to CBS, he couldn't use the name anymore |
|
NBC owned the trademark.
He's Calvert deForest now -- still alive, last I heard.

13. Perhaps I fell for a joke. |
|
I seem to remember a "Late Show" from when I was able to watch it all the time where they had a "in memory of" segment on him. Letterman is enough of a smart ass to do that: God bless him.

They were mourning the loss of the Larry "Bud" Melman trademark.

16. I wonder if you could be thinking of Leonard Tepper |
|
Leonard was a semi-regular in various skits, often with Rupert. Dave did a special segment on his passing a few years back. Link: http://www.angelfire.com/wy/leonardtepper/

9. He did a walk-on about a year or so ago. |

He looked rather frail then.

I named my cat after him in the 80s.
Drove my mom crazy! "I'll call that cat Larry, but I won't call him Larry Bud. What a stupid name!"
Poor Larry was not long for this world. He got hit by a car after only 2 years. I loved that little spaz.
