Sirajul and Mujibur

Sirajul and Mujibur

Sirajul Islam and Mujibur Rahman are businessmen in New York City who are known for numerous guest appearances on the Late Show with David Letterman.

Natives of Bangladesh, each man immigrated to New York and became employed at K&L's Rock America, near the Ed Sullivan Theatre, where the Late Show was produced. Letterman did frequent comedy spots featuring the salesmen, and in 1994, he sent them across the country as roving correspondents for the show. The team toured many U.S. towns and cities, and were greeted as celebrities. Sirajul, for example, threw the opening pitch in a home game for the Sioux City Explorers. The duo were also sent to Super Bowl XXIX to tape spots for the Late Show. [ [http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P2-818660.html http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P2-818660.html] Accessed 24 August 2008]

When K&L's Rock America closed due to an increase in rent, Letterman told them he would miss them, and gave them each a dozen roses and a new vacuum cleaner as "parting gifts."
