End of an era.

>>>The sandwich shop made famous by its owner’s frequent appearances on the “Late Show with David Letterman” is looking to call it quits.

Rupert Jee and partner May Chin are looking to sell the deli. They announced the farewell with a simple statement on Instagram in March: “Hello Deli: Retiring.” Jee is 66. No age has been given for Chin. The business is still operating while it seeks a buyer.<<<

He had a good run there for 31 years. I didn't watch the Late Show years as much as the Late Night years. I like watching the clips on YouTube.

It's hard not to like the guy. I can see why they had him on for many appearances. He was an unlikely star. Those Fun with Rupert videos are funny.

It seems like Hello Deli has been sold. There have been two Rupert Jee related uploads today.

He made 445 appearances on Late Show with David Letterman.
