    Extremely well written, extremely funny and some good acting by all involved. Back in a time when Letterman was the only one not afraid to make fun of the network they worked for on a regular basis. Cosby pulling the strings was very prescience of the staff. If only we had listened.

    This skit makes the CBS show seem like a parallel universe! The "acting" in this has got to be the best DL has ever done too. 👍

    The actual CBS imitation of "The Cosy Show" that season which might have inspired this was "Charlie & Co." ABC had "The Insider" copy the look of "Miami Vice."

      Thank you! I was trying to remember the title of it. I taped it to VHS but it’s in storage now. There was an hilarious film by Andrea Martin and Catherine O’Hara about PMS and a very funny film by Bette Midler too. Paul Shaffer and the band had a film too. Great idea.

    Dave was so funny, especially in the early years at NBC. He was unlike anything that came before him. Whether he was interviewing the biggest stars of the time, or dropping surgical gloves filled with butterscotch pudding off of a fifty foot tower, Dave was just different.

      He doesn't like Trump - how does that make him an "uber" lefty? The majority of voters in two elections voted for his opponent. I'm guessing a few of them were in the middle class.
