In a recent episode of the talk show, David Letterman, a heartwarming surprise unfolded. Bob Borden, a longtime member of the show’s staff, was in for an unforgettable experience at the Emmy Awards.
As the show’s host David Letterman addressed the audience, he introduced Bob Borden to the crowd, applauding his years of service to the program. Bob had started as a mailboy, fearlessly taking charge in a chaotic mail room, and eventually transitioning into the role of receptionist.
During Bob’s receptionist duties, he received countless calls from viewers wanting to connect with various celebrities, including the late Dan Blocker. His dedication and commitment to providing the best service to the show’s audience didn’t go unnoticed.
To show their appreciation for Bob’s hard work and to grant his wishes, David and the team decided to send him to the Emmys held in Pasadena. Bob had previously attended the prestigious event once before and had expressed his desire to go again.
But there was something else Bob had been dreaming of – to meet Urkel, the beloved character from the hit show “Family Matters.” Always striving to make dreams come true, David had a surprise up his sleeve. He handed Bob a ticket to the Emmys and a first-class plane ticket to California, fulfilling his wish to attend the event.
Overwhelmed with joy, Bob couldn’t contain his excitement. The realization that he would get to meet Urkel made his dream journey even more thrilling. However, once at the Emmys, Bob’s search for Urkel turned out to be challenging. He asked various celebrities if they had seen Urkel, hoping to finally meet the iconic character.
Despite his efforts, Bob’s encounter with Urkel seemed elusive. But the disappointment did not dampen Bob’s spirits. He admitted he had learned not to set his expectations too high.
To everyone’s delight, David then revealed the true surprise. He invited Jaleel White, the actor who portrayed Urkel, onto the show. Bob couldn’t believe his eyes – his wish had finally come true. The heartfelt moment between Bob and Jaleel White touched the audience, making it a memorable evening.
As the show continued, David introduced other guests, including Fran Drescher and 12-year-old Ryan Trip, who had accomplished a unique cross-country journey. The episode promised to be filled with interesting segments and surprises.
Bob Borden‘s extraordinary experience at the Emmys showcased the genuine appreciation demonstrated by the team at the talk show. It was an evening filled not only with entertainment but also with heartfelt moments that made dreams come true.
