In a recent episode of the popular talk show “David Letterman,” host David Letterman had a humorous and embarrassing moment involving his blue cards. As the show was wrapping up, a viewer named Barry Gold from Phoenix, Arizona wrote in to inquire about Letterman’s habit of blotting his lips on the blue cards he uses during the show.
Letterman responded to the viewer’s question by explaining that using the blue cards to blot his lips has become a habit, stemming from an embarrassing incident a few months ago when he didn’t have any blue cards with him. The incident was one of the most embarrassing moments of his career, and since then, he has relied on the blue cards to avoid any further mishaps.
The talk show host also addressed other viewer letters throughout the episode. One viewer, Kathleen Howard, expressed her desire for more excitement in the last 10 minutes of the show, as she often falls asleep during that time. Letterman assured Kathleen that she won’t be disappointed, hinting at some exciting plans for the upcoming episode.
Another viewer, Jack Bernstein, declared that he was done writing letters to the show after none of them had been featured on the viewer mail segment. He playfully suggested that perhaps if he had used more unusual stationary or included pictures of guitars and cats, his letters would have made it onto the screen.
The episode also featured comedian George Miller and a segment showcasing stupid pet tricks. In addition, Bill Wendle, the show’s announcer, made an appearance, suggesting throwing iced coffee at Letterman’s assistant, Paul Schaefer.
This episode of “David Letterman” showcased the host’s ability to engage with his audience through his witty and spontaneous responses to viewer mail. Despite the occasional embarrassing moments, Letterman’s professionalism and sense of humor shine through, making the show a must-watch for fans of the talk show genre.
