She's still here, dammit (Letterman Tribute #2)

There's been some gossip out there that this blog will wrap when David Letterman exits his CBS show in May, but that's probably not true. In only our 11th year, there's not much incentive to time it that way and invite unflattering comparisons for endurance.

This post marks the second in a series commemorating the best of Letterman in late night. This time I want to shout out to the elegant Miss Sandra Bernhard. She was one of the great guests during the NBC years, one that has appeared too infrequently since the show's move to CBS.

The natural link is to the clip of Sandra and Madonna appearing together, but instead, I've attached a clip in which Sandra stops by 30 Rock to say goodbye to the 1980's.

Bonus: In February 2001, my brother and I made our only trip to the Ed Sullivan Theater to see a recording of The Late Show. The episode we witnessed from prime balcony seats featured James Caan, hockey players crashing into stuff, and this network TV debut performance by Canadian songstress Nelly Furtado. Look closely for Moellers.
