God these 80's NBC shows had such a laid back, creative, fantastic vibe. Even on a down night(for Letterman) like this, I still can't stop watching. It makes you feel like this show is some big secret being taped in a basement somewhere, and only you and 3 of your closest friends know about it. Never be another one like it.

He's deflating all of the phony show biz hype, network executives, cable channels and stars plugging their material. He was as anti-establishment as it got. He got so much more mellow and celebrity-friendly in the later years. All he did later was criticize conservative Republicans, which in Hollywood, is the establishment position to take.

You do realize Johnny Carson... yes that Johnny Carson used his company to get this show put on the air after the tonight show because he thought it was so good and liked letterman’s talents so much? And that Dave and the rest of the Harvard comedy writer guys went in to be some of the most successful influential and talented people in modern writing history? Because Dave was indeed such a sarcastic smartass, but for the sake of being flippant and comedic. It was the Harvard lampoon style. Roasting everything and apologizing for nothing.

Many seem to remember the commercials for PCH's Sweepstakes featuring Ed McMahon awarding winners with a giant $1,000,000 check. According to Publishers Clearing House, those commercials didn't ever happen as they now claim they never had any association with Ed.
