No, I think Flunky (one of the awesomest characters on Late Night,
by the way; the obvious predecessor of Homey the Clown on In Living
Color) was played by Gerry Mulligan (sp?), head writer on Late Night.
I could be wrong on this, but it definitely wasn't Chris Elliot.

One of the greatest things about Dave is how he doesn't take his show seriously.  One of his best comments about LNWDL is:

" It isn't so much a TV show as it is a desparate plea for help. "

Several weeks ago when Isabella Rosselini was on he worked a similar

	Maybe it's just me, but Dave has looked really bothered lately. Ever
since the cat was let out of the bag that he wants to leave NBC, he appears
distraught (sp). Almost as if he is just going through the motions. I know
what you are thinking... BLASPHEMER! But honestly, the other night I was 
watching and it was really bad. The audience wasn't really responding, his
gags were kinda' lame, and Paul wasn't there. Maybe I was just tired, or
maybe I am expecting too much from Dave, but I haven't really gotten a whole
lot of genuine laughs out of LNWDL lately. Granted, i was dying over the
'HOT BUTTONS' and I always enjoy Tom Brokaw and Maria Schriver.(Why do you 
think news people are so damn funny? Tom brokaw, Maria Schriver, Connie Chung)
Anyway, does anyone else out there feel the same. I do consider myself a big
fan and watch his show every night, but he doesn't seem to have that same
sparkle in his eye...

No wonder Dave was so steamed on Wednesday night's show!  

You are right, the real #8 is not only harmless, it's hilarious.  Hardly
worth the three-hour meeting with two NBC execs and the NBC psychologist
Dave was yelling about.  (No offense to any of our Catholic friends out
there, but I don't think that particular joke pushes anyone's "Hot Buttons".
I think the joke is an obvious one, and I wouldn't doubt that hundreds of
other casual jokesters have come up with the same line over the past two
millenia or so.) 

No kidding, the NBC executives _are_ pinheads if they can't deal with that!

Are you talking about his _recent_ obsession with the name Linda?  If I'm
not mistaken, I believe that there was a NBC TV movie a couple of Saturdays
ago with a leggy supermodel (was she Kathy Ireland...I don't know) trapped in 
the jungle somewhere.  (I didn't see the movie, but I've seen a great many 
references to it...the most notable reference being the one Dave made.)

Well, in one scene, these grubby guys (maybe from some army) come upon the 
supermodel and one of them tries to introduce himself to her Tarzan/Jane style 
(I think the model had regressed and gotten stupid...I don't know).  Dave was 
fascinated by this scene, because it was five or ten minutes of

Guy:  (gestures to woman:) "Linda..."  (gestures to self:) "Vic".
Model:  "?"
Guy:   "Linda....Vic."
Model:  "?"
Guy:   "Linda....Vic."
Model:   Says something incomprehensible, but certainly not "Vic".
          Dave thought he knew what she said, but it didn't fit.
Guy:   "No, no...Linda....Vic."

...and it just went on and on.  Dave showed the clip one night and then
couldn't stop saying "Linda...Vic" for some time after.  I think part of the
appeal was that the guy spoke with an accent:  "Leen-dah...Veek."

This is right, isn't it?  I know for sure it was "Vic"...but now I'm not so
sure it was "Linda".

(Incidentally, I mean no disrespect when I refer to the actress as a "supermodel".
It's just that calling her that will help identify the TV movie in question.  
Besides, in the movie she was also a model...I think.)

Just tryin' to help...

A friend of mine visits NYC about twice a year, and each time he goes, he
sees Letterman.  He uses Option B, and has not failed yet to get in.
Actually, he doesn't wait in the stand-by audience line, he wanders around
the ticket holders asking if anyone has any extra tickets.  Sometimes he
has to pay for one, others he gets them for free.

Hope this helps.

Include Melissa Etheridge on that list.  When she came on doing a song from
her new album "Never Enough," Dave held up a copy of the CD and tried to 
"see through" the back cover.  The front cover is a picture of Melissa, 
standing with her back to the camera, wearing just a pair of jeans.  And,
of course, Dave threw in the requisite "Yow!"

Does anyone remember the stupid pet trick with the dog that, everytime

on that spot?  I was laughing my ass off that show. 

Also, if we are voting on favorite shows, I would have to say my favorite
show was the night he did "Top Ten New Advertising Slogans For Delta

same show they did a skit about it using Chris Elliot.  Does anyone

might need to try Merrill Markoe (Dave's old girlfriend and former LN
head writer) since she's the editor.  Oh, I didn't memorize that long
call number; I have a photocopy of the cover hanging up in my room  :)

C-ya,

Ladies and gentlemen, it has been a blast getting you the Top Ten List
This past week. If you forgive my few minor typos, I think I pulled it
off okay. 

In the spirit of my predecessor's intentions from the previous, I now
appeal to you for volunteers to pick up posting the top ten list. We
are our own self-supporting community, and if each of us who can picks
up the task for a week at a time, we all continue to enjoy the benefits.

I'd reccommend you volunteer if you tape LNWDL and can then transcribe
the list from your tape. You should be able to get the list posted before
the next day's show. 

If all people willing to volunteer will e-mail me at the address below,
I will schedule up a full week for each volunteer, and send you the 
FAQ and TTL template that was sent to me.  

October 19-23 is a repeat week, but since we are still in the infancy
stages of this, I think we should still post next week

no -- the Linda thing goes back much further than this Kathy Ireland thing.

You may remember in that show where dave is trying to introduce that piece
that he says something like "Hey Paul, what's my favorite name for a woman?"
and paul not quite knowing what's up yells back "I don't know... Broad?!"

which wasn't quite what dave was talking about.  Dave says "no no... Linda!"
only he always says it "Leen-DA".

Anyway he's been doing this for years.  It's right up there with the Dumb Guy
who says "Them bats is smart.  They use radar!"
