and growing up, you know, watching carson, letterman, and conan.se were all people that made me want to host a talk show. watching, "the larry sanders show" made me think, "oh, i don't think i want to host a talk show. [ laughter ] i think that looks like a very scary place to work." but i was talking to olivia backstage. when i lived in chicago after college i was sort of, in this improv community. and jason suidekis was there as well, and before we were on snl together, i didn't really know jason. but one of the things i knew about him in the improv community was he had vhs tapes of the larry sanders show. and that was a big deal back then. [ laughter ] you wanted to be friends with the guy who had the vhs tapes of the larry sanders show. before any of us had -- because none of us could afford hbo, we were lucky to have a vcr. um -- and another thing is, that one of the things on that show i remember, is, his producer artie, sometimes would say, because larry, the character larry was very neurotic. he would ask him how the show was, and he would

let's bring in josh letterman, white house reporter for the associated press. that president obama is the trump attacker in chief. >> he is now. for months, shep, the president really tried to avoid getting pulled into the fray. the white house didn't want him to become a pundit on the race to replace him. but the thing to remember it, nobody has bigger stakes in this election than the president, who stands to see so much of what he's worked towards the last seven years be undone depending if there's a republican who wants to move in a different direction. so increasingly we've seen the president on the attack, grabbing these opportunities to call out specific trump policies and to cast him as someone who's not really ready to be commander in chief. >> and because bernie sanders is still in this race. they thought it would be wrapped up, they said it would be wrapped up in february, march at the latest. it's april now, it's not wrapped up. not like the president can be going, hillary, hillary, rarara. >> and they're still fighting amongst themselves. so when th

she later told david letterman it was the most fun speech she had ever given. so she had heard the district attorney in california where they were living while john o'connor finished law school had once hired a women, and asked if she could work for him and had no money to hire her and said she would work for nothing until the guy is next appropriation and he said he had no room to put her at a desk and she thought his secretary would share her office with the future justice o'connor because they got along so well. the secretary said okay. and so sandra day o'connor went to work for nothing, sharing an office with a secretary so determined was she to earn her living as she expressed it, with the training i had gotten. she always looked out at the world and didn't say i am a woman, why am i going to have trouble? she said i have a law degree i will get a lot job and do whatever was necessary to make it happen. it was one of her great strength. >> i would like to ask the panelists if they have questions for each other. >> from a clean getaway. >> in working on th
