Dave jokes that if you’re old enough to drive and smoke, it’s best to keep driving past his house and not get out of the car. He humorously mentions his tiredness of talking to ex-marines when they come trick-or-treating.
Aside from the Halloween banter, David Letterman also highlights how his show is the only one on television that answers viewer mail. He doesn’t hesitate to poke fun at other shows like 60 Minutes, pointing out their advanced age. Dave takes the time to answer actual letters from fans, shedding light on various topics.

This highlights the reality that many celebrities have to find alternative sources of income when their careers dip.
In the midst of all this entertainment, Dave playfully interacts with a mysterious caller from MCI who interrupts the show. His skilled acting and witty banter shine through during this unexpected interruption, showcasing his talent as a thespian.
With the arrival of autumn, a viewer asks Dave if he misses the summer. Dave amusingly responds that his summer was uneventful and unremarkable. The segment ends with a festive twist as Dave surprises the audience with a Halloween-themed performance of “I Want You Back” by The Jackson 5.
