In a recent episode of the beloved talk show, David Letterman experienced a holiday mishap that had viewers talking. During the show’s Network Christmas special, Larry Bud Melman was set to read “The Night Before Christmas” to a group of excited children. However, things quickly took a turn when Larry began reading from a French catechism book instead of the expected cue cards.
Late night production assistants, affectionately known as Babs and Jude, were responsible for the mix-up. Babs, who hadn’t received the poem on cue cards, assumed it would be in the book they had requested. Unfortunately, the book turned out to be a French catechism book instead.
As the children eagerly awaited Larry’s rendition of the classic holiday poem, he began with, “A night was before Christmas, not a creature was staring, not even a mouth.” The audience erupted in laughter and confusion as Larry struggled to pronounce the words correctly. Eventually, he resorted to reading the poem in Spanish, adding another layer of hilarity to the situation.
Despite the mishap, the show carried on with festive cheer, and Larry managed to deliver a heartwarming performance that brought laughter to the studio. As David Letterman later expressed his gratitude to Babs and Jude for their courage in coming forward and shared his appreciation for their hard work, viewers couldn’t help but admire the show’s ability to overcome unexpected challenges with grace.
