Ellen, David Letterman says “Don’t Give Up”

So, I’m in the office yesterday, explaining to our two new fantastic and friendly interns just how a BMI statement works, when, as I’m showing them the “U.S. Performance-Audio/Visual” segment of the statement, I read:

LATE SHOW WITH DAVID LETTERMAN
EPISODE 2388
“DON’T GIVE UP” (Sara Hickman)

and then directly underneath that it read:

LATE SHOW WITH DAVID LETTERMAN
EPISODE 2431
“DON’T GIVE UP” (Sara Hickman)

I don’t know about you, but I take that as a HUGE SIGN. Not only am I not supposed to give up about dreaming of being on your show someday, but I wrote those very words and here they are, back to haunt me… arriving from another great comedic talk show host’s show!!! And not just once…BUT TWICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Yes, I’m doing a little desk dance here.)

Thank you, David! Thank you, Paul! I will send thank you notes so check your mail. Not that either of you is reading this blog, but, you know, just writing it down as if you MIGHT be reading this blog makes me feel so chipper inside. You just never know.

It reminds me of how I got signed to Elektra.

Love,
Sara
