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!
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.”
She is and was so perfectly adorable how many guys did not fall in love with her I know I did I would have married her in a hot second so perfectly sweet and adorable the perfect woman for the average American guy wow we love you Meg
Wow! Isn’t that something! I would be so happy if this ever happen to me! More enjoyable in a time when people didn’t think of running to get their cellphone to take a picture or video!
Meg is perfect proof that us New Yorkers are very nice ! So glad she obviously has a great boss ! Also so trusting Meg is and so funny how comically if you will David Letterman is SO VERY MUCH a creepy stalker 😂📺📡☎📞. I miss the old days growing up in NYC & this is one reason why, so much fun. I LOVE David Letterman's shows & New York ! 😍
Don, you are the best! i really appreciate your uploads! thank you very much! do you have by any chance more videos of meg and dave? on youtube i can only find about 11 or 12. Didn´t even know he called her 31 times!?
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.

Remarkable experience.
Oh that's so cool! Great memories for ya!
So you can tell people about that one time you and your band were on Letterman. That's pretty cool!
Thank you for your service!
I remember watching this as it was broadcast. It was the one and only time I stood and applauded the tv.
HOLY COW! I remember this! I am the same age as Meg! What good memories! Dave Letterman was the greatest talk show host ever !!!
@Lorenzo Dion Lee so you’re 62 now 😳😳
Wow! I forgot all about Meg! I loved segments like this on the show.
Perfect Dave, “Lets see how long we can keep 49th Street closed.” during rush hour!

JHS Red Raiders marching band is kinda a big deal too.
so she left whatsisface ?
ovbiously duuh 🤪
Seems she's now single
So she dumped the then boyfriend "Tony?"
You could tell, I think, Meg wasn't tap dancing with enthusiasm over Tony anymore on the phone.
Sometimes David could be the greatest guy.
So weird how different Dave sounded back then. Different tone and cadence to his speech.
She is and was so perfectly adorable how many guys did not fall in love with her I know I did I would have married her in a hot second so perfectly sweet and adorable the perfect woman for the average American guy wow we love you Meg
This could really make for a good love story. People love this stuff.
best show ever

Hi Don! Can you make a video with all of Meg’s appearances on Late Night and Late Show. Thanks...
In time. All of the shows haven't been digitized yet.
Is there any chance we'll see a compilation of these phone calls?

Different network.
@dongiller thanks for clarification. I saw it live, then never again.
Dang, I can stand it when she leans out that window! A bit high up for my taste! lol
Sheeze I haven't seen the E! Entertainment Television logo in ages. They had Letterman on E?
From December 1993 until July 1996.
@@dongiller their late night lineup was amazing for a pre-teen kid.
@@Mundane05 wasn’t Howard Stern on E!
@@ObamaFromKenya no idea, by the time I got it it was all fashion stuff by day, boobies by night
Wow Meg turns 60 this year.
well, 59.
And I bet she is still hot as hell!!
@@ata5855 60 now 🤭🤭
Dave's a sly-devil..what he did for Meg was very sweet. She should honor him & go out. She blind if she rejects him...Go-Dave!
Dave is as bad as Governor Christie.
