    Tom Hanks being presented to a talk show with Smell Like Teen Spirit intro is something I would've never guess seeing in my life time. Scratch that one off the list.

    I got to be in the audience of David Letterman back in 1986. He is my all time Late Night Talk host with Conan coming in next. His stupid pet and human tricks were gold. The crazy stuff he was allowed to do was magical. Loved the Top Ten and it was such a big deal, that many news and radio stations would air them the day after his show. His salute to the Military and having almost every current Medal of Honor winner was nice as well. Besides the 2 Chief Warrant Officers who had been shot down During Desert Storm. Those guys were funny.

      Dave was definitely different. Along with 3 landmark gags you mentioned he had, the alka-seltzer suit, the velcro suit, random phone calls, the "dancing waters" fountain in front of his desk...not to mention all the people that would show up just to jam with the band... Warren Zevon, David Sanborn, EVH etc... Similarly to the radio stations...me and my best friend would take turns recording the show (audio) on our boomboxes and listening to them after school the next day.

    It was a great last show that will be 30 years ago on Sunday. You can find all of it elsewhere here on CZcams.
    I have always thought Dave’s closing remarks were more eloquent here than on CBS, particularly the comment how they began on a cold day in February in 1982, and now here there were on a lovely summer evening in June eleven years later (a few minutes later he mentions that incoming Conan O’Brien once killed a guy.)
