My cousin used to talk about seeing the last David Letterman morning show.
Paul Shaffer sang a song about "Las Vegas Gambit", the show that replaced
Dave.  Did anyone watch the Mary Tyler Moore variety show that Letterman was
in?  (Not the sitcom with Lou Grant, Ted Baxter et al.)

Actually, she didn't introduce herself with her full name.  She just

he asked what her middle name was and went off from there.

I didn't say he wasn't a good player; I said he wasn't a very good
*musician*.  A musician makes interesting music.  Will Lee backs up what is
ostensibly a bunch of studio musicians, and when he is allowed to solo, 
he does not shine.  Maybe it's in his contract to stay in the shadows, but
I have my doubts.  I'd much rather listen to Mick Karn (who is sloppy, but
good luck figuring out some of his stuff) and Pino Palladino any day.

I remember that interview with Phoebe Cates.  Dave kept referring to her  
husband as Robert Klein (she's married to Keven Kline).  In some sense  
that interview was funny mainly because Dave had the hots for Ms. Cates  
and was completely off balance.  But when you get down to it, it was a  
sorry sight to see... Dave, our hero, reduced to a simpering pathetic mess

Are you anal or what?  I saw the WHOLE SHOW and this is the first time
I've even thought of Wilcoxson sounding like "cock suck".  He was making
stupid pirate imitations and saying her name and it was only mildly
funny, but where do you get this impression of Dave torturing Ms.
Wilcoxson for an hour?

Does anyone remember the rerun when Dave and Paul had a little opening 
talk, then declared that they'll re-play tonights re-run a little faster 
than normal.

The result was hi-pitched voices for everyone!  Hilarious, but irritating 
after 20 minutes (which was actually like 30 minutes tape time).

Phew, you really don't *get* the show.  What DAVE does is the 
one thing that makes all those "demonstrations" worth watching!!
Without Dave's antics, the majority of them would be totally BORING.

DAVE is what makes it worth watching, NOT some chef with a new recipe for 
crabcakes or whatever!  If that is what you want, then the previous responder
is totally correct...  Just go watch Regis and Vicky Lee, and enjoy!

Actually the song they played is sort of a minor hit on the local
modern rock station KITS ("Live 105") in San Francisco.  The studio
version doesn't have near the distortion filled garage sound that
what they did on TV had.  But I liked it.

Another good bit was when Biff came in and asked Dave for the combination

where they had set up some full length gym lockers.  Biff unlocked the
locker and Tony Randall got out.

GE didn't decide to build missiles.  The GOVERNMENT (you, me, and everyone
else in the U.S. -- apologies to foreign readers) decided to build missiles.
If GE hadn't won the bid to build those missile parts, some other company would
have... simple as that.  Yes, I suppose that you can argue GE's business
ethnics ought to put it above weapons contracting, and that's a moral stance,
so I can't really argue with it.  However, let me point out that if we all
boycott whoever does weapons contracting for the government, it'll simply
force weapons contractors (ALL of them) to raise their bids to cover losses
due to boycotting.  And guess where that extra money comes from?  The taxpayers!
In other words: Boycotting GE isn't going to stop the production of offensive
weapons.  Your gripe is with your elected officials, not with GE.

Can't you see how crushing things in a hydrolic press is a commentary on
the current socio-economic trends in this country and around the world?

Silly and childish is exactly the point!!  If I wanted intelligent and
thoughtful *attempts* at humor that reflects on current events life then
I'd watch Carson.  Not that Letterman doesn't get his plugs in.  The bland
Carson humor is the kind of stuff my parents find funny.  I'd rather see
Dave being Zeus on the top of a ten story tower with fluorescent lights or

Not an absolute fav (I've got better things to think about), but a recent
one I'd like to see again (and I don't believe they've shown it yet as
a rerun) was aired about a year and half ago, late in the Gulf War.

Leslie Stahl was a guest and Letterman was needling her about Dan Rather,
e.g. "Haven't you noticed over the years that he *has* gotten goofyer?"
And they he came up with this fantasy of Rather inviting her to his
place and showing her his collection of Ken dolls:  "Here's Ken at work,
here's Ken on the beach, here's Ken in his Corvette, ..."

All this made her shrink away in monumental discomfort and in the next
segment after she was gone, Letterman continued with "policeman Ken,
fireman Ken, Dr. Ken, ..." and then figured he'd probably really gotten
her steamed.

One of my favorite running gags on the show is the constantly repeated phrase
throughout the show, where Dave constantly riffs off a phrase from the opening
of the show throughout the episode.  Sometimes it's just Dave constantly
complaining about his cold, or the weather, but we've had some sweet ones
of late, like "Muy, muy, es olympioso".  But my favorite of the summer would
have to be Kelly Robin Wilcoxin (sp?), a woman from the audience whose name
became repeated over and over again throughout the show.  Dave loved the
sound of her name and went off on it.  In pirate voice, he yelled something
like "Aye, we've got to fasten the mainsail, or Kelly Robin Wilcoxin!"

Maybe it's just me.  Anyone else remember the show?  Am I alone in appreciating
these riffs?
