billie jean still with us at 76. what a huge deal that match was, bobby riggs (a number one player in the 1940's) claimed at 55 he could beat any top woman player, he had beat margaret court (one of the greatest of all time), billie jean beat riggs 3 straight sets, and got $100,000 for doing it. i remember the helen reddy song "i am woman" getting a lot of play in relation to bille jean king winning.
Just saw this one...very nice. Dave talking about Wimbledon made me remember that he got a lot of mileage out of a bit on Wimbledon..."It's not 'Wimble-ton,' it's 'Wimble-don.'" I had forgotten about that one!
Don, Thank you for all of the great videos from the David Letterman collection. I'm hoping that maybe someday we will be able to have a collection of all the "Late Night Thrill Cam" broadcasts. Plus, a collection of all the "Dancing/Prancing Waters" (the fountain Dave had in front of his desk). Paul had one on his piano one night also for Dave. These episodes that I speak of were broadcast in the late 1980s. I enjoy your David Letterman TH-cam channel very much. It would be a wonderful dream come true for me to own the entire David Letterman collection like you do. Keep up the great work. Your effort and video postings are very much appreciated.

It’s a rather awkward arrangement, but the song at the end is “Philadelphia Freedom.” Elton John dedicated it to Billie Jean King.

I was just thinking about putting together the Thrill-Cam/Dancing Waters/Prancing Fluids collection. Can’t say when yet.
And thanks!!
@@dongiller That would be awesome !!! A dream come true for me. You are the best !!! Thank you Don. (From: Scott McLean).
Billie Jean King comes across a super, super nice person.
Class act.
Could you please post the video of him when he announces birth of his son.
What happened to Dave’s ear?
If only I was Lenny Schulz's assistant. Would still LOVE to see his one-and-only appearance when you have time.
It was quite pathetic.
I wonder who's the lucky man?
i didn't know you take requests don. how about the Spencer Pratt interview please.
I think he only takes requests for archive companies
I’ve been taking requests from anyone for five years. I doubt I’ll be putting up any “reality” tv stars.
Who is Spencer Pratt?!
@@cactaceous Google is our friend.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spencer_Pratt
And now the Williams sisters are into their 40s.

The Virginia slims tournament - yup, that was the 80s, alright - lol
