Weekend Distractions: Goodnight David Letterman
This past week David Letterman signed off after hosting his late night show for 33 years. With 6,028 episodes Letterman has become the longest serving talk-show host surpassing even the late great Johnny Carson. Tributes have been flooding in from comics he has influenced and fans he has made smile.
I’m going to miss Dave’s show. I’ve been watching it since I was in high school in the early 1980’s. My classmates and I would often pass school time trading laughs about what wild and crazy thing David did on the previous night’s show. The guy who would do a show from a 747 jumbo jet with a the caricature of news anchor Connie Chung in a swimsuit on the side won our devotion.
In the the late 1980’s when I was going to move to Los Angeles to become an actor I had set a goal for when I had finally “made it”. It wouldn’t be when I had made a million dollars or had won an Academy Award….
No….
I declared to friends and family that I had finally “made it” in Hollywood when I was on Late Night being interviewed by David Letterman.
Alas, the road not taken….
Anyhow, good night Dave, good luck, and thanks for the laughs!
