    I was one of the kids in the band on the street! That was a fun day. They called our band director like 2 weeks before this and asked for a small group of us to come. Our marching band was about 3 times this size so there were a lot of disappointed kids! But we got out of school for the day and spent 7 hours on a bus each way for that 2 minute performance!

    Perfect Dave, “Lets see how long we can keep 49th Street closed.” during rush hour!

    From HuffPo:
    ==========
    Parsont still lives in Manhattan...She’s been married to actor/singer/lawyer (“in that order,” she specifies) Daniel Katz for nearly 13 years; they met while playing softball. Katz is a great gift-giver, Parsont says, but it’s hard to top the time that Letterman got a city permit to stop traffic in order to send a marching band down 49th Street for Parsont’s birthday.
    “My husband has tried and he’s done very well,” Parsont says with a certain understatement that endeared her to Letterman and his viewers. “But that was kind of big deal.”

      I'll put up a complete Meg collection after I finish digitizing Late Night. Right now I'm up to early February 1990, two weeks before Dave's first call to her. So it'll be a while. And thanks!

      An excellent chance but not for a while. I'm digitizing the shows in roughly chronological order (with exceptions like this) and am now up to late August 1987.

    Is this the episode where Glenn Close stradles a guy in the audience [some plant] and hes despondent. Later, Dave takes a tennis server and fires tennis balls at the guy's head? That was my favorite episode.
