[@2000Cowboys]

Paul Shaffer's book ( We'll be here for the rest of our lives ) is a good read 📚 👍

[@doctorcraptonicus7941]

creepiest interviewer ever

[@angusdrummond6719]

Thank you. This was brilliant as grew up with Paul Schaffer (on tv of course..was much younger) but really enjoyed listening to all the stories and what drives his style musically.

[@pukalani100]

love Paul.....The camera work not so much.

[@phspalace1021]

Paul Shaffer, a living legend.

[@pleitgeb]

What's with that fucking moving camera?

[@dereckvon]

A treasure.

[@albertmora4290]

Paul Schaffer is my all-time favorite "TV musician." His work on and off Letterman is a gift from Canada to the U.S. This is a fantastic interview. (George Stroumboulopoulos + Paul Schaffer) Riffing = Perfect!

[@walterquinlan9414]

Camera man sucked. Learn to focus; get your gut out of the shot.

[@scottyeds]

I grew up on the same street as Paul in Thunder Bay!

[@SKYSCRAPERTELEVISION]

Thanks Strombo. Great interview guys.

[@matts6282]

The stories that man must have. Thanks for this one George!

[@SoulsInRhythm]

I can't believe I didn't see this until now.... Thanks George. Paul's spirit, talent and stories are something else...

[@rickyrydell]

Paul needs to have his dentures relined. Very annoying!

[@lucrativelyrics8131]

when did Shaffer start putting 'SH' on every 'S' sound?..what accent is that (*there's no way he always used to speak that way..

[@soundhealer6043]

Dentures, mate. Carrie Fischer did the same.

[@harrygibus]

Great interview. I would ask that the B camera guy spend less time on his "guns" and more learning to pull focus but first have to ask why the editor even used the footage. And please don't tell me it's meant to be artistic - like a lot of the old blues singers show, you can start the note where ever you want as long as you eventually hit it.

[@Romans15.32]

First ~ LOVE House of Strombo, such a great way to relax and listen to a conversation between two people you admire. Paul, you are delightful. So glad you're in a good place. Thanks for a very interesting interview.

[@timfeleppa3156]

Love you Paul. Best stories.

[@aaroncampbell8303]

Very interesting man Paul is. Also one of the best piano players ever!

[@legasiguy551]

One of my early keyboard heroes!

[@jc6594]

Happy 70th Birthday Paul Shaffer

[@28Pluto]

That's weird, because the first two words in the title are "Paul Shaffer."

[@siggylloyd3566]

[@mghappyjack]
