This is awesome! Thanks Don! All of us Letterman-addicts are well versed in anything that happened on the show...but stuff like this (local NY television only) is pure gold!
I always thought the main inspiration for the top ten list was "The Book of Lists." Also, I feel like Steve O'Donnell could do a great impression of Dana Carvey doing Johnny Carson.
Cant find a link to send you a message - - I guess it was either late 80s or early 90s. There were a bit where Letterman was walking house to house interviewing folks. One of them was a little boy that made a weird coughing sound with this throat (obviously, but you hat to hear it). Letterman made his usual weird expressions, then he walked off. Later Letterman was walking and he could still hear the kid making the coughing sounds, and he turned around.. sure enough there was the little boy making coughing or throat breath sounds. It might also have been to the beat of a song. This was either an anniversary special, or a random man on the street interview. Can anybody remember this? I've asked some die hard fans who can't seem to recall. I've also combed through many Anniversaries on UA-cam. I know it was a bit, and I know it was Letterman.
This is gold! Fascinating! Word for word.
The Giller continues to score.

Thanks again Don.
Thank you Donz.
Good stuff. Thanks Don!
Thanks, Don. I still have that book in my collection. Humor as dry as the desert.
Thanks Don! I was away at college so would've missed this appearance.
Also, thank you Don! I dont care what my parents say, I'm not a drunk loser I'm a comedy historian! 🙂🥴
Thanks, Don! Appreciate seeing this new vid!
I still remember how excited I was to get this book for Christmas that year.
That Top Ten was funnier than a lot of the real ones :)
Very true.
I was gonna say, that’s a really strong Top Ten list

Wow.
I still have that book. In a box. In the closet.
I can't comment, I'm in litigation right now. #1 unpopular candy bar - Captain's log.
Wait, Steve is on the right? Right?
▶️👍! Never saw this lil book.
Correct.

I've got to assume that if Don Giller hasn't recognized this bit, it's because it didn't happen.
score!
