Well, I was tired to, but I thought it was pretty darned funny ("Joe,

Can you believe Aaron Brown was a local anchor here in Seattle and the
bonehead CBS affiliate (KIRO) that had him *fired* him? He was just as
funny locally as he is now. He wasn't even head-hunted, or anything.
He was fired! Stupid affiliate. I know this hardly belongs in this
group but another thing that bugs me about this dumb-assed affiliate
is that they got Sasha Foo from CNN (anyone remember her? She has a
small, but loyal, cult following) as a weekend anchor and then went
off and demoted her to a street-reporter.  Now, I don't even know if
she's there anymore.  Just to tie it in to Dave, this is one reason I
hope he doesn't end out on CBS.

I read an article in a recent LA Times business section about the
Letterman situation, and the estimate for his salary is more like
between $3 and $4 million, which puts him far below some of the other
talk show hosts like Oprah and Arsenio (WHAT INJUSTICE!) 

And the article also talked about how lucrative it would be for Dave
to go into syndication.  He could then ask for $30 million a year, and
still have lots of people happy to have him.  It also mentioned some
figures which I thought were interesting.  A typical 30-second
commercial spot during Dave's show goes for $20,000.  That would pull
in over $60 million a year!!

"Well, believe it or not, they fetch the stick."

Me and my housemate were in tears, speculating on whether they slept with the

Didn't Dave ride along in the condiments one because he thought it would be a
breeze...only to get slopped with mustard and ketchup (in spite of his attempt
to protect himself by cowering under a sheet of plastic) and have to change 
clothes during the commercial break?  He seemed genuinely surprised and at least a
little annoyed that the stunt didn't go as planned (although it was MUCH
funnier the way it happened). I think he mentioned something like 'This didn't
happen during rehearsal!' to which a someone responded 'We didn't fill up the
glasses during rehearsal.'

	What's happening folks! Tell me, was the little trip Dave

	I loved the part where he was talking on the house phone and

	The other parts were good too:

		-Tom Brokaw's all male calendar
		-The ghost of the guy from Bonanza (his name slips my mind)
		-The security guy with Al Roker(sp?) in a headlock
		-The Capt. & Toneille(sp?) records
		-When he undid the cable and the screen went snowy

	Overall this had to be the best "trip" Dave has taken....

I put Arsenio's show in the same mental cabinet with Family Feud.
This way, whenever an Arsenio guest replies to a puffball

Yeah, if I were a celebrity who wanted to be absolutely sure that the host

     The whole Dave vs. Arsenio debate is a waste of time and effort! 
Even showbuissness insiders say that Arsenio does not have a chance to
compete with Dave.  Fact of the matter is, Dave is the hottest talent
at his age since The Bob & Ray radio show of the 50's (Bob, whom i am
sure  you all know, is Chris Elliots father).  Dave is having millions
of dollars waved in his face to go to the respective networks.  I
would be shocked to see network execs doing the same to the father of
the "woof woof" cheer.  Sorry Arsenio- you were hot but now the flame
is gone.                          dave fan-frank

I would like to thank the people who post recent Top10 lists from the Letterman
show. I am a Letterman fan, but I am studying in England at the moment, and for
obvious reasons have to live without the Letterman show. 

Is there anybody who keeps a file with Top10 lists, or an FTP side or something
I acn access such a file? I would appreciate any information and will be grateful
if someone mails such a collectio to me.

I am aware there are a couple of books out on the subject by the way...


Thanks in advance,


			Michael.
