Incorrectly classified credit for David Letterman
On the page for David Letterman, there is a credit in the Legal Department as "special counsel" for "Norm Macdonald Has a Show" (2018).
I don't know what Letterman's exact function was for that series, but this credit does not belong in the Legal Department, which is described as follows: "The Legal department encompasses professionals responsible for providing legal advice, drafting and negotiating contracts, ensuring regulatory compliance, and managing intellectual property rights for film, television, and media productions whilst ensuring they adhere to relevant laws and regulations." David Letterman isn't a lawyer and those aren't the functions that he would have performed. "Special counsel" may have been a humorous way of reflecting Letterman's role as an adviser to the show, but it doesn't belong in the IMDB Legal Department section for him.

@gromit82 Thanks — we have checked the credits and confirmed the billing as you describe, which appears to be more of a “thanks” credit so they are being moved to the correct department at the moment. This is a bit of a corner case, but we agree with your assessment and the changes should be live shortly.
