Let's watch six minutes and 43 seconds of David Letterman on a Canadian talk show in 1978. The host is Carole Taylor and you can see that Dave does not think her questions are particularly inspiring. The other guest is film director Otto Preminger, the man who gave us Skidoo and also some movies that people actually liked.
This is from when Dave was starting out. He talks about hosting a game show pilot and working the Comedy Store. A little over two years after that, NBC gave him a morning talk show which failed but somehow led into his late night series and the rest is, as they say, history…
