    I have a hopeful feeling that all these Chris Elliott segments are leading into a Chris Elliott Staff Favorite Moments video!

      Yeah, loving all the Chris content, but it feels like everybody who wrote on Late Show for more than two weeks is going to do a staff picks first.

    Always loved when Dave prowled inside and outside 30 Rock bugging the hell out of unsuspecting people. 😅 And yes, please bring on more Chris Elliot!!!!!🎉

    Now, this is a classic late night TV moment. Dave saw a legend, Chris came up with a legendary character, and Dave lifted weights. You don't get stuff like that on TV anymore.

    I love how low budget the set was on the old Late Show, especially compared to the extravagance of the CBS show.

    • @SayWhatAgainMF

      Yes, more homey and intimate. But, getting the theater was key to the show becoming "epic!". The difference being a standard television studio vs. the historic Ed Sullivan Theatre where they could plant their feet with a permanent set. [The stage was retrofitted as a hi-tech sound-studio for recording the live performances of musical guests, and the after-show music-sessions, and concerts.]

    (1) “Murmur” was the R.E.M. album that came out in 1983 and when I first heard it in 1987, I was blown away.
    (2) Sophia Loren smokes unfiltered Luckies.
    (3) Stupid School is cool.
    (4) Chris Elliot looks unhinged without a beard. His work with Letterman was always hilarious.

    I remember seeing this in '83 and wondered why he didn't invite her to be on his show, then or sometime, or to come over and wave at the audience; anything but stammer like a school boy. Now looking back, the show was so new-He knew that she had no idea who he was as his star hadn't hung quite high enough in the sky yet. She did make appearances years later when promoting the 'Grumpy Old Men' franchise.

      Yes!! I didn’t realize this was the same episode that REM made their network TV debut, playing “So Central Rain” before it had a title. This is peak Letterman and peak 80s. Absolutely the best.
