Well it was interesting since they were talking about the fact that the
guest's new show (Sessions) was on HBO so they could get away with more.

But I still recall that at least a couple of such remarks that Dave
has made have either been ignored or passed over by the guest and
audience.

On the same night (now two nights ago) there was some singer on the
tonight show, I forget her name but the album was called something
like "tail and tongue" (or tail to tongue) and the explanation "she"(?)
gave for the title was that if she had a "sex change" she would want a long
tail so that she could point to things she wanted and also she could
arch the tail over her head and touch it to her tongue to make a circle
of "energy" (or some such)...

I've read before that when Dave was a struggling stand-up, Jimmy
Walker would give him jobs (perhaps do audience warm-up before Jimmy's
acts?).  This could probably be some grateful retribution on Dave's
part.  Besides, doesn't Dave seem to enjoy Jimmy's visits?

You are correct.  The drummer from the Ramones was on shortly
after the crummy Bangles drummer.  Dave was congratulating
the Ramones drummer on actually being a good musician.
The impression I got was that Dave was quite happy with
the performance of the Ramones drummer.

Vince McMahon's been on a few times -- the one you're thinking of
was the night they decided to have the "Late Night Baby" contest.
Larry "Bud" was at one nearby hospital, and Vince McMahon (head
honcho of the World Wrestling Federation for those not in the know)
was at another.  the first baby born during taping would be the
Official Baby of Late Night.

Vince is actually pretty good, on Late Night.  He doesn't perpetuate
the asinine illusion that `he's just a WWF announcer' on the show,
or even pretend too strongly that wrestling's fake.  Instead, he
accepts Dave's ribbing and ribs back.  eg.

It's a hell of an improvement over everything else Vince McMahon
does -- including being the biggest jerk *in* wrestling.  Of course,
the improvement may be Dave's influence.

It is really not all that "sophomoric".  He gets some highbrow concepts in

In some ways that is MORE intelligent, because of the subtly involved.

There's no mention of Carson Productions.  One other interesting note,
though, is that this is about all they've been showing for the past
couple of weeks or more.  The only other credits I've seen are for
director and producer.  In the past, at least once a week they'd give
the full credits, listing everyone including the band members.  I've
been watching waiting to see Barbara Gaines listed with her new
"Associate Producer" title Letterman's said a couple of times she
now has.  So I'm wondering now if this semi-nonperson status they've
given the staff has anything to do with talk of Letterman leaving.

    Dear Letterman fans,

       How would you characterize the differences between people
       who liked the old Carson show and people who like the Dave
       Letterman show?   Was there a large fraction that liked
       both shows?  I don't really know.

       I was a Carson fan.  I liked Jay as a guest host, but I
       often found better guests on Dave's show.  Generally I find
       the humor a problem on the Letterman show, however.  I think it
       is often too silly and aimed at a much more childish mind.
       I liked the music way better on Carson with Doc.  Dave's flying
       sky-cam takes some nice shots, but the whole bit with the
       roving cams comes across as pointless.  There's just not much
       intelligent, thoughtful humor, the kind of humor where the
       skit does a clever (adult) parody of some real-life situation.
       I guess that's my chief complaint-- much of Dave's humor
       seems to me to be like what a small child would do, or like
       what a drunk with a camera would do at some wild party.

       But the guests and most of his top-10 lists are very good.
       There is usually some thought that shows through in the top-10
       lists, although a I see a lot of goofiness, too.

       What do YOU think?

	How about the one where Dave and Paul went golfing
and every time they drive off in the golf cart, the golf bags
fall off.

A few years ago, they used to do a little skit with Dave right
before the opening theme of the show.  One memorable skit was
Dave was sitting in a chair in the make-up room and someone
was putting make-up on him.  Dave was talking to Arnold Swartzeneger
, who was standing right behind Dave's chair.  Dave was saying
how much he appreciates Arnold's help and Arnold saying
it was no trouble at all.  Then when Dave's make-up is done, 
he steps off the chair and the camera pulls back showing
Arnold standing there holding the chair at waist high
because the chair stand was broken.  Arnold was standing
there holding Dave in the air for all that time!

My favorite Bud-moment was one that was never shown - or shown in its
original state.  I was lucky enough to see the show when it came to LA
for its eighth (?) anniversary special.  At the very end of the show,
Larry Bud comes in carrying a torch, with the  olympic themse song
playing loudly, and runs up a ramp.

He is supposed to light the flame and say something along the
lines of one of Dave's priceless olympic insults (e.g. in the middle of
1991 saying  that they would be preempted for NBC's extended olympic
coverage).  Well, Larry ran up the ramp and  got to the top and just
stopped, looked blankly into  the audience and  said, "damn it, I forgot
my line".  It was absolutely hilarious in its pseudo-melodramatism.
However, in the official version that was broadcast, they dubbed his
line in afterward.  They should have kept it - priceless.

By the way, does anyone remember Dave's favorite olympic sayings.  I know
he had a  field day with the Triplecast.  Just wondering.

	Yep, I remember him.  In fact, his name is Stevie Starr, and was 
also on the Howard Stern show, along with Letterman's.  He would swallow a 
1/2 can of butane, then bring it back up, producing a hellish flame.  It 
looked pretty damn real to me.
