Maron prides himself in not doing much preparation for interviews, a la
Larry King. The idea is that the listener learns about a topic as Maron
does. Sometimes that's frustrating as Maron misses obvious topics or
obvious follow up questions for answers. With Letterman, Maron already knew
a lot about him and The Comedy Store. So what you got was an interview
where Maron was prepared.
