Random House Acquires David Letterman Producer Daniel Kellison Comedy Memoir ‘I’m On The Moon’
Random House has taken the North American rights off the table to I'm on the Moon, the debut comedy memoir by former Late Show and Late Night With David Letterman producer Daniel Kellison.
It chronicles Kellison’s darkly funny and wildly unlikely journey from being raised by a four-time-divorced Vermont hippie mom and a one-eyed babysitter, to taking a hit of acid and deciding, with sudden clarity, that he had to work for his hero, David Letterman. “From the ominous glow of the Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Plant to the bright lights of 30 Rock…”The book charts Kellison’s rise from a chaotic childhood through a near-disastrous internship—where he’s nearly fired three times—to ultimately finding his footing and climbing through the ranks with encouragement from Letterman and others. During his eight-year, against-all-odds tenure on the show, he produced and developed some of its most iconic moments: from Drew Barrymore’s birthday-flash to Madonna’s infamous foul-mouthed tirade to Acapulco cliff divers risking their lives diving off the roof of the Ed Sullivan Theater on 53 rd Street.
