Paul Shaffer to be 'Late Show' guest

NEW YORK, Sept. 30 (UPI) -- "Late Show with David Letterman" band leader and sidekick Paul Shaffer is to be interviewed about his new memoir on the U.S. chat show, CBS said.

Shaffer, 59, is to take the guest chair on Tuesday's edition of "Late Show." His appearance is to coincide with the release of his book, "We'll Be Here For the Rest of Our Lives: A Swingin' Show-Biz Saga."

The memoir chronicles the Grammy Award-winner's life story, including his childhood in Thunder Bay, Canada; his early music career; his years at "Saturday Night Live"; his other forays into film, television and music; and his 27 years working alongside Letterman on both "Late Night" and "Late Show," CBS said.

Eliza Dushku of the television series "Dollhouse" is also scheduled to be a guest Tuesday's show and KISS is slated to perform.
