Letterman Tribute #4
As the next in a series, here is a full Late Night episode (minus some jump cuts) from 1988. George Bush is now president-elect of the United States, and Dave welcomes then-NBC news reporter Connie Chung to discuss the election. Dave had a special rapport with Chung, but his show has always been a sanctuary for mildly-vapid network news personalities. In these moments with news titans, Dave plays the dummy, but he's always the smartest one of the two on camera.
After Chung follows an episode of "Count Biff-ula," and then Melanie Griffith, promoting her new film Working Girl. These old Griffith interviews on Late Night were referenced by Griffith's daughter, Dakota Johnson, when she made her first appearance with Letterman last week and suggested to Dave that he might be her real father.
