Do you remember the 360 degree rotate-a-cam?  Over the course of the 
show, they rotated the picture 360 degrees, 1 degree at a time.  By the
halfway point of the show, the picture was upside down.  It was in USA
today that they got a record number of complaints that night because it
was giving the viewers headaches.  It was actually pretty cool...

Did anyone else hear the latest in the Dave/NBC/CBS saga?  I read today that
Dana Carvey has been offered the spot following Dave on CBS for his own talk
show.  Apparently CBS was convinced that they had him signed to a long-term 
deal and were planning to give him Dave's old spot.  In light of this, the 
pinheads at NBC are considering dumping LENO and giving Dave Leno's spot (YAY!)
to befollowed by Dana Carvey.  

Any more details, or is this more idle gossip?

Actually, he was Flunky the Late Night Viewer Mail Clown...and he wasn't so much
a guest as he was a character.  Whenever a VM question would come up about the
circus (or not about the circus...whatever...), Flunky would come out to give his
spin on things.

I remember he got in trouble once for insulting circus-folk, calling them disease-
ridden garbage-eating bums or something, and for giving clowns a bad name.  He was
brought out to make some sort of apology, but it was wasn't entirely serious 
(although I believe the charges may have been).

He told Dave he had a tattoo once...but he couldn't show it...it was oozing puss 
something awful.

We're having some fun now!

Actually, it's be cool if Dave (at CBS) were to continue calling and talking
to Meg as-is.   Can you imagine the looks on NBC's faces as a CBS helicopter
(or something similar) flew by every few weeks for the sole purpose of shooting
footage of Meg while Dave talked to her on the phone.

Probably a *lot* harder to set up (especially if he moves the show to LA),
but it would be absolutely hilarious.

I know Dave hangs around with Jeff Ultman (Mr. Butt Steak).  I know I spelled

Jeff really embarrassed Dave after eating at a restaurant.  Appearently
on the way out of the place, Jeff fell to the floor and went into

One night Dave sent over a bunch of fat guys to Meg's office.  Each guy's
shirt was printed with one entry from that night's Top Ten list; as his
entry was read off, the corresponding fat guy would move to fill Meg's
window.  It was so funny I don't remember what the Top Ten list was.

1)  The Tonight Show
2)  Nightline
3)  The Rush Limbaugh Show
4)  Arsenio

..was the way they were ranked.  Actually, the higest rated program of
the last year has been the occasional infomercials put out by Playboy for
their "Secrets Of Making Love..." video series.  The commercial has won
its time slot every time it has run, beating Arsenio, Leno, and Letterman.

I remember Dave saying many years ago that he simply wouldn't feel

went as far as to say that if Paul left the show, he would leave
as well. 
 
I feel it's a safe bet that Dave will insist on Paul as his band leader.

This is a popular misconception.  However, I expect that his show will remain
popular at the very least in a watchdog capacity throughout the Clinton
administration.  Regardless of who is President, his show presents a
conservative slant on _current events_ and there are current events even when
there isn't an election.  After all, there have only been two presidential
elections in the past eight years and his show has remained constant
throughout them.

However, this is alt.fan.letterman, not alt.fan.rush_limbaugh, so I won't

I know there's more, but I can't remember.  Seems like Larry Bud Melman has

The one I like best didn't happen in her office.  Letterman had blocks of
rush hour traffic sealed off so he could send a marching band down the street
below her window and spell out "MEG" for her birthday.  Hilarious stuff,

Leno and NBC will have to contend with being #2 once Letterman moves.
I am glad Letterman is going to CBS.  NBC should have offered the
Tonight show spot to Letterman.  End of story.  

NBC is already going down in flames by losing Cheers, their only high
