Late Night with David Letterman- December 8, 1987 (partial)

With an intro that features a flyby inside the former World Trade Center, David Letterman makes a special phone call to Leningrad in the Soviet Union, followed by an interview five-year old car driver Rocco Morabito, and then a little bit of the appearance of Knicks/Rangers announcer Marv Albert.

My Girl Shell!! I remember that so clearly. We were all so excited in the office!! And when she got to be on the show, well their are no words!! (That's my great grandson in the picture.)

Did she enjoy the trip to New York?

So I remember this episode as soon as the Russia interpreter came out - she must'a made an impression on me.

Hope Rocco's doing well!😎

He'd be just about 40 years old now, so that doesn't make me feel too old.

It's amazing how badly the night went for Dave, but still an entertaining show. It would've been better to just build a bit around the Russian woman instead of trying to find another person in Russia. Even more interesting, Sharon Stone in a commercial at 29:40 years before appearing in Total Recall and Basic Instinct, and Vicki Lewis from Newsradio in a Ritz Bits commercial at 21:50.
