In a recent episode of the talk show, David Letterman welcomed viewers to a special 4th of July edition of the CBS Mailbag segment. The show features Biff Henderson, who is on a summer tour across America, visiting different parts of the United States. So far, he has explored the Grand Canyon, Hawaii, and the Statue of Liberty. On this episode, Biff finds himself at the majestic Niagara Falls.
But before diving into the mailbag, David Letterman recounts his uneventful 4th of July celebrations. He admits to staying home and watching fireworks on TV. However, he teases the audience by saying that George Clarke, the show’s building engineer, had a grand party during the holiday. David playfully mocks George, imitating his funny antics.
Moving on to the mailbag, the first letter comes from Jeremy Carlson in Minnesota, asking about David’s plans for the 4th of July. David jokingly states that he doesn’t have any plans as he doesn’t go anywhere or have many friends. He indulges in banter, pretending to reminisce about George Clarke‘s extravagant party.
The next letter asks David about his thoughts on getting plastic surgery. The correspondent, Hild Debrand from Yukon, Oklahoma, poses the question. Biff struggles to locate Yukon on the map, adding an amusing touch to the segment. David humorously confesses that he constantly thinks about plastic surgery, particularly getting an eye job and trying out Botox treatment in Mexico.
One of the letters in the mailbag asks if David can speak French. Heidi Bay from Paris, France, inquires about his language skills. Biff successfully pinpoints Paris on the map, earning more points. David admits he doesn’t have an ear for languages, but they playfully discuss Alan Calter, the show’s announcer, who does speak French.
Lastly, Eddie Ingram from El Centro, California, wants to know how he can become the next Paul Schaefer and lead his own band on a late-night talk show. Biff locates El Centro, and David turns to Paul for advice. Paul Schaefer jokingly responds that the key to his success is to “kiss a lot of asses,” adding a humorous twist to the conversation.
Overall, this episode of David Letterman‘s talk show was filled with light-hearted banter, amusing anecdotes, and hilarious moments. Biff Henderson‘s mapping skills and David Letterman‘s comedic commentary made for an entertaining viewing experience. Stay tuned for more episodes of this engaging talk show.
