Steve Mazan: 'Dying To Do Letterman'

STUDIO CITY (CBS) — Steve Mazan visited the KCAL 9 studios Wednesday to tell viewers why he is "Dying to do Letterman."

When 35-year-old stand-up comedian Steve Mazan learned he had cancer, and might only have five years to live, he dedicated his life living his dream: performing comedy on The Late Show with David Letterman.

This documentary chronicles his five-year journey, as he races his own ticking clock to achieve a nearly impossible goal. Hilarious, heart-breaking, and ultimately inspirational, Steve's journey brings a brand-new perspective to living with cancer. This is a story that proves it's not how much time you have, it's what you do with it. As Steve says, 'If you stop chasing your dreams, you're already dead.'
