Letterman infrequent sidekick Larry "Bud" Melman has died

Calvert DeForest has died. He was 85. A frequent guest on the Late Night with David Letterman in the 80s (mostly), DeForest was a seemingly clueless dolt who garnered a cult following, much like Chris Elliott (the "guy under the seats," the "fugitive guy," "Cabin Boy," amongst other characters).
