    I had the honor of getting to meet Mary Tyler Moore back in the summer of 2003 and it was by pure chance, I was 17 at the time and my family and I were vacationing in NYC. On the second to last day of our vacation I decided to explore the city on my own and as I was walking down Madison Avenue I ran into her, I approached her politely introduced myself and I told her that my parents and I were huge fans of hers and that we all watched her show together on Nick at Nite when I was a kid.
    She flashed me that famous beautiful smile of hers and thanked me for being a fan, we then talked for 20 minutes or so it was incredible she told me about all the countries she had visited, meeting the pope, funny things that went down behind the scenes on many of the sets she had worked on and how she became the international chairman for diabetes. And I told her about all the challenges I had to overcome growing up with autism and she was genuinely interested, she was so warm kind polite and personable and she was even more beautiful in person.
    Before saying goodbye I asked her if I could take a photo of us together and she said sure so I pulled out my 35mm Olympus film camera and took a snapshot of us together, I keep the photo in my traveling/vacation photo album. I then thanked her for her time and for the photo and we shook hands and parted ways it was an awesome experience and it was one of the best days of my life I'll always cherish it, broke my heart when I learned of her passing RIP Ms.Moore you are greatly missed.

      @@proudtobeautistic Just because you "politely introduce yourself" doesn't mean you're not intruding on someone's personal/private time.
      What if everyone else in the street "politely introduced themself" as well & asked for photos - you don't think that's harassment, or bothering them??
      What makes you so special??
      How would you like it if you never have a moment of privacy or someone invaded YOUR personal space - especially since most autistic people are uncomfortable with social situations
      Then you attract more attention by asking for a photo.
      I guess demanding her time wasnt enough, that you felt the need to ask for a photo too

    I had a surreal Mary Tyler Moore encounter in the Minneapolis Airport. We both got of planes at adjacent gates, TV crews descended on her for an interview. While she stood in front of the lights and mic, I watched with a big smile on my face. She and I locked eyes for 5 seconds, and despite a 22 yr diff in age, I was madly in love with her. Who wouldn't have been? She was coincidently there for the show's 20 yr (?) anniversary.

    I stayed up late watching the David Letterman Late Night show most nights in the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s. This video features two legendary entertainers of this time era, David and Mary Tyler Moore. I also watched almost every episode of the Mary Tyler Moore show followed by the Bob Newhart show in the 1970s.
    This video is a great collection of her early episodes on the David Lettermen Late Night show. I loved her joke near the end of the video about the name Dick Van Dyke. You should find it to have a good belly laugh. Be sure to watch Part 2 of her appearances on the Letterman show. These episodes are even more entertaining. Mary is like a fine wine that improves with age.

    ..thanks, Don ! ..MTM will always be one of my favorites.. ..I've seen some of her appearances on other sites, but -- all too often -- the quality was so poor you could hardly see the set or their faces... ..it's nice to see what Mary and Dave actually looked like together... ..but, while I was watching part 1, a question came to mind: somewhere around the 1:19:00 mark, Mary does the off-color 'Dick Van Dyke' joke, and Dave kind of nervously chuckles... ..which brought to mind this question: there have been times when Dave has done some banter with Paul Shaffer, only for Paul to make some unpredictable, off-color comment which absolutely STUNS -- SHOCKS -- Dave to the point where it's like Paul has knocked the wind out of Dave ! (such as the direct, personal question to Julia Roberts....or the time Dave stands over by the windows to the left of his desk, trying to pull himself together....or the time Paul SHOCKS Dave SO MUCH that -- in complete embarrassment and humiliation -- Dave actually goes over to the right of his desk, kneels down with his back towards the audience, covers his face with one hand, and looks like he's either going to 'get sick', or he's doing some heavy-duty praying/worrying) ..would it be possible to upload Paul's off-color remarks and Dave's surprised/shocked reactions, or are you needing some personal time, right now..!? ..just thought I'd suggest it.. ..some of Dave's best moments/most memorable moments happened when things didnt go quite right... 😁

      @ Don Giller... ..hey, Don... ..I was checking out some Letterman clips I hadnt seen in awhile, and I stumbled across the episode where Dave is "shocked" by someone's unexpected brand of humor... ..in this case, it wasnt Paul Shaffer....it was Ellen Barkin (from 1994, if the year is accurate)... ..Dave is SO "shocked", he leaps out of his seat and stands by the left 'window'... ..so... ..I know you're constantly bombarded with requests/suggestions, but I thought I'd ask you about five topics: 1) a collection strictly composed of Dave's shocked/surprised reactions between him and Paul 2) a collection combining Dave's shocked/surprised reactions between him and Paul, as well as his unexpected reactions from guests (such as Ellen Barkin) 3) collecting the best of Dave where he laughs hysterically/uncontrollably at Paul and/or guests.. 4) a collection where NOTHING goes right for Dave, such as Hal Gurnee's 'Up With People' 5) a collection which shows the extremely Compassion/Sympathetic side of Dave (such as Kim Basinger's first and second appearances, where she was 'a nervous wreck' ).. ..I know that any/all of these would be quite time-consuming, and I've seriously been concerned about you and your health during this 'virus' issue, so these are merely 'suggestions'....not expectations... ..if you feel like pursuing one or more of those ideas, that's fine... ..if you dont feel up to any of them, that's fine, too... ..just thought I'd pass these ideas your way... ..but, most important: take good care of yourself..! ..if you need to 'chill', take however much time you need.... ..and, like Warren Zevon said, "..enjoy every sandwich..." ..catch ya later ! 😉 ( ..and, 'Thanks' for all the work you've already done ! ..even though you've done 'masterful" work, such as the collections of Meg Parsont, Sandra Bernhard, and Teri Garr....as well as 'Hal Gurnee's Up With People', when NOTHING went right.... I STILL feel that your Carson/Letrerman collection was your 'Rembrandt' !!! ..it didnt get any better than THAT !!! ..so, even though it's "gone", at least I had the privilege of watching that ! ..Thanks again for all your work, Don ! ) 😉

      I’ve begun itemizing every song they played but am only up to late September 1982. Within those 117 shows, “Love and Happiness” tops the list with 43 performances. Followed by: “Love Is Like an Itching in My Heart” (34), “Going to a Go-Go” (30), “Before We Close” (tentative title) (27), “Green Onions” (27), “Honky Tonk Women” (26), “Standing in the Shadows of Love” (26), “I Got the Feelin’” (25), “ Function at the Junction” (25), and “You Can’t Sit Down” (25).
