By request of the first Viewer Mail letter writer. With Paul Shaffer, Sid McGinnis and Anton Fig. This show ended the first week of the new Tuesday-Friday schedule, with Monday now a repeat.
Thank you so much for uploading this. I was at the taping in the front row, so it's great to be able to see myself, in my teal jeans, on the Thrill Cam! What an amazingly fun evening this was. Dave did his own audience warm-up and was standing right in front of me only inches away.
My paper route money wasn't enough to buy a VCR in 1987, but I often recorded the show on cassettes, and would splice together "best of" mixtapes. Vividly remember this one, but it's been 33 years since I've seen the accompanying video! Thank you so much. Incidentally, the following Friday night Dave abandons all hope of holding onto that key 10-13yo age demographic and lays into one of the best rants ever. "I just want to say this. From my heart. The reason this country, The United States Of America, is in the sorry shape it's in today is because of music videos!"
Very 80's to see the Molly Ringwald cover of Life magazine. As i recall 1987 was probably the last good year for the "Brat-Pack" generation of actors. By 1988 the next generation of young actors were now taking over. (River Phoenix, Winona Ryder, Christian Slater, Johnny Depp, Ethan Hawke, Keanu Reeves, Uma Thurman)
Saint Martins it’s weird, as a millenial i love, appreciate and connect with the 80s Brat-Pack a lot more than the next generation of actors you mention, despite their being more contemporary to the time of my upbringing. Never really thought about why, but your commentary makes for reflection. :-)
Don you are truly an “essential worker”. Thanks for all the quality uploads man

Clever idea!
Always great to see a Sid Mcginnis acting spot. 2 actually!
Sid Loves Fudge! Who knew? This is in my favorite show range 82-89.
That one letter about Paul serving a particular function is funnier than anything you'd see today
Always enjoy seeing the “Thrill Cam”
wecontrolthevideo I would love to see a history of the Thrill Cam
What a good Top 10 list. That was funny!
Thank you Don for keeping us cheered up.

Wow the Bratpack so completely forgettable.
Wasn’t Chris Elliot also part of the brat pack?
Anton Zip taunting Sid is pretty funny lol 😂
Peak of my regular viewing of LN!
"...so kids, drink a lot of coffee..."
Paul: “You hate fat people”!
Hard to believe that Sid was born in the forties
Anton, taunts sid and secretly writes a James Blunt Hook at the same time. 10:30
Roast of Phil Donahue.
Prancing Fluids
When was the last time you heard a “We’re Beatrice” joke?
I imagine Guy Maddin must have seen that Top Ten list. And only about twelve people have any idea what I'm talking about. Hi, guys!
I love Molly too. I named my hamster Claire
?? 🤔
A Sunday edition of the Today Show. Further proof that there is no 'off' position on the Genius Switch ;)

Edwin Starr - “War.”
“Shaved by Masked Assailant”
