David Letterman‘s talk show never fails to entertain, and this episode was no exception. The crew opened up the CBS mailbag, inviting viewers to send in their questions and comments. The excitement was palpable as the audience erupted in applause.
The first letter asked what David Letterman would design if he were in charge of a float for the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. This question got everyone thinking, as the parade passes right in front of their offices every year. David admitted that nobody had ever asked him this before, but he seemed genuinely intrigued by the idea.
The conversation then took an unexpected turn when it was revealed that one crew member had marched in the parade the previous year. This sparked laughter and reminiscing, with fond memories of the entire apartment building coming out to watch the event.
The second letter inquired about how people are fired on the show. David admitted that this is a difficult situation and explained that, despite being on the air for a long time, there are occasions when someone must be let go. However, he emphasized that they always try to have fun with it, turning what could be a negative experience into a memorable one.
Continuing the lighthearted atmosphere, the talk show host shared a story about a crew member named Chris. In this amusing tale, David surprises Chris by buying him a drink. Everyone in the audience erupted in laughter as David handed Chris the drink, making it clear that this was a moment they all enjoyed.
The third letter was directed towards stage manager Biff Henderson, who is always seen with his headset on. The viewer wondered if Biff ever takes it off. David admitted that he has never seen Biff without his trusty headphones and expressed his curiosity about what Biff is actually listening to during the show. Biff, always ready to entertain, offered to show everyone by bringing his microphone over. The audience eagerly awaited to find out what secrets were hidden within those headphones.
Lastly, the mailbag brought up the topic of David sharing stories about his experiences with celebrities. The viewer wanted to know if these tales were true or exaggerated. David answered with a resounding yes, acknowledging that part of his role as a talk show host is to share entertaining stories. However, he reassured everyone that there is an unwritten law within the talk show community that prevents him from violating the trust of his guests.
To everyone’s surprise, crew members Pat and Harold revealed that they, too, have stories to tell. They shared scandalous anecdotes about their encounters with celebrities, leaving the audience in stitches. Kenny also chimed in, adding his own shocking experience. The atmosphere quickly turned vibrant as the crew playfully shared their experiences, capturing the essence of the show.
As the episode drew to a close, the audience was left with one final moment of excitement as the esteemed Marvelettes performed. David Letterman‘s talk show had once again delivered an evening of laughter and entertainment that left everyone wanting more.
