My thoughts exactly. I must have a "toast on a stick" in his honor.
I remember Toast on a Stick! LOL funny. Then there was the time he stood outside the Soviet embassy with a sign saying "C'mon and defect!" Priceless TV moments from a time when the Letterman show pretty much shunned politics and was cutting edge, truly off beat and funny TV. That ended around 1995 when I stopped watching the show. I still miss the old Dave.
If the old Soviet Union still existed I suppose Letterman wouldn't do this kind of skit now since it might offend his commie friends like Sen Clinton.
