Yes!  I have found a few of those feeds... some really AMAZING ones.

 >(i.e. when they do 'May we see your photos please')

I think they may be close enough to 30 Rock so as not to need a 
satellite path for that shot, but i'm not positive...

I remember seeing feeds for that thing they did in the baseball staduim
parking lot a while back, and about the VERY BEST thing I ever saw was
an hour or more feed with LARRY BUD on a Goodyear blimp for the 7th
Anniversary Special!  That was incredibly funny... killer stuff.

He looked really goofy sitting there all that time.  Every now and then
his hat would fall off, and he would always put it on wrong.  The pilot
and technician guy kept having to fix it for him, as well as the headset
which Calvert could never seem to put on right.  It was a riot...
They also kept making him say his ONE line over and over and over until 
he did it just the way they wanted, or didn't screw up.  Every time they 
told him to redo it, he would get this really funny look on his face.
The tech guy kept cracking up all the time as well...  Really classic!

I think sometimes I think the guests might be a little irritated about
that, but the show is for the audience - not the guests.  Sometimes he
does go on a _little_ too much, but that's not often.

In any case, it's far far better than the fawning, ingratiating, and very

As far as I know, there was only one "Layman's Corner".  I don't know
the name of the female staffer who did the bit in a very disinterested
monotone voice.  (It wasn't Barbara Gaines.)  If anyone knows, please
let me know.  The piece went like this:


                             Layman's corner
                   Today's topic: How a CD player works
           (From "Late Night with David Letterman", July 18/90)

     First of all, you put the CD in.  And then these magnets spin the
     CD around really fast.  And that's where the music is -- in the
     CD itself.  But it's not music-- it's, like, all sorts of
     different numbers or something.  And then the magnets, actually
     they are laser magnets, somehow they turn all the numbers back
     into music.

     My brother in law has one of those really good CD players.  I
     think it's Japanese.

And don't forget the skit that had a pants vending machine backstage.
It would only dispense those khaki/tan pants he only used to wear.
BTW, he looked better wearing the athletic (wrestling?) shoes he used
to wear than the brown loafers he wears now.  Brown loafers and white
socks are too geeky-dweeby even for Letterman.

His on air response to that was he was kind of steamed because he had
never done or said anything to her then or now to provoke such a comment.
In the past, the only running gag was, "I went to high school with
Marilyn Quayle.  Back then, though, she was known as `Debby'."

which is fine with me.  It's not like TV talk show hosts are
performing any sort of public service or anything - If I had my own
show, I would do it they way I wanted, and if the ratings are good,
than the ratings are good, and if they're bad then I'm cancelled...Big
deal..This seems to be Dennis Miller's philosophy to some degree,
which is refreshing.  Our society has become so intertwined with
television and the people on it have become icons to the point where
it is truly pathetic - to the point of worshipping a person,
practically, for one facet of their existance.

Yeah, it sucks.

	I agree... the reason Miller didn't get good ratings is you did have to
think about what he was saying.  With Letterman, it's just funny in a
more non-intellectual way.  They are both very funny, though.
