Paul Allen Wood Shaffer CM [2] (born November 28, 1949) is a Canadian [3] [4] singer, keyboardist, composer, actor, author, comedian, and musician who served as David Letterman's musical director, band leader, and sidekick on the entire run of both Late Night with David Letterman (1982–1993) and Late Show with David Letterman (1993–2015).
