Previously, he was the announcer for many New York-based television shows, including "To Tell the Truth", "The $25,000 Pyramid", "The Money Maze", and "The $128,000 Question". All of those series (except "The Money Maze") were taped at some point in the Ed Sullivan Theater, where the "Late Show" is now produced. Additionally, episodes of "Truth" announced by Kalter were taped in NBC Studio 6A, where Letterman later originated "Late Night". Kalter would replace Bill Wendell as announcer on both "Truth" and the "Late Show". Kalter was also the announcer for the 45th Annual Grammy Awards ceremony, held in New York in 2003.
