Letterman's Mailbag

I was wondering, is there any particular night of the week when Letterman goes to the mailbag? I don’t watch religiously, but I’m hoping he might use comething funny I found for him. Is one weeknight better than the rest?

They used to do it exclusively on fridays. I believe that is still the case but I have no independant confirmation of this.

Yup, still every Friday.

Now, what he needs to do is “Dave Talks to Kids” and “Stupid Pet Tricks” regularly. I love those episodes, so very much.

Yeah, when Letterman was just becoming a household name…wasn’t this a nightly feature? Not sure about “Talking with kids”. Must be a new feature (borrowed from Art Linkletter).

Better yet, bring back fifteen second theater. I never did get to see how “Suicide Squad” ended.

Fifteen Second Theater? Must have been before my time.

Once Letterman is over (in about a half hour or so), I’m switching to Conan on NBC. Can’t stand Kilborn.

Too bad Andy Richter quit. I miss his staring contests with Conan.

Letterman is at his best when he’s talking to ordinary folks, either from the audience or brought in as guests. I really wish they did that stuff more often. Especially “Kid Scientists” or whatever it’s called, that’s always a riot.

Back when Dave was on NBC with Late Night with David Letterman, letters were on Thursday nights (and there was no Friday show).

I know a guy, Lon Wolf, who had a letter read on the air not once but twice! I don’t think anyone else ever managed that.

I only remember one of them. Lon wrote in to Dave something like:

Dave’s reply was “Long term therapy!”
