It probably took so long to pare down the hundreds of great appearances he made. My parents couldn't stand him for some reason until the Morton Downey Jr. bit - which thankfully was uploaded recently.

This was the screen door episode! I remember this. The quirky thing I loved about Letterman was the weird stuff he used to do. He was watching some home improvement show and was amazed on how simple it was to make screen doors, so he had the guy from the show come on and they made screen doors! I also loved this segment. He does a perfect Paul Schaefer😂

Never found late night shows very funny after Carson retired. They are too badly scripted. Nothing will ever top Carson and Tommy Newsom exchanges. Carson: "Tommy, do you go out and do clinics?" Newsom: "I go to clinics." Off the cuff, unscripted. Carson from 50 years ago puts everything from the 90's on, to shame.
