    When I was stalking the staffers outside the Sullivan Theater back in the ‘90s (and I guess I still am), no one was kinder, more tolerant, friendlier, and just plain nicer than Jill. Either she has a heart of gold or she’s a terrific actor. I’ve seen her act, and it’s definitely the former.
    Everyone loves this woman.

      No doubt, she seems like the consummate sweetheart. She's easy on the eyes too.

      She was pretty good in the Price is Right bit so she seems like a good actor in addition to being a kind person.

      I'll do you one better ... me and my girlfriend flew in from Minnesota with tickets, but we got cut off just as we got to the door. All full. But Dave's assistant Laurie Diamond listened to our tale of woe and put us right in the green room with Jan Hooks.

    For those who don't know: In 2006, Jimmy Kimmel was looking for a new executive producer. He asked Regis Philbin for advice. Regis recommended Jill Leiderman. Kimmel hired Jill Leiderman, and she served as executive producer of Jimmy Kimmel Live from 2006 through 2020.

    It wouldn't be a Thanksgiving show on David Letterman without Dave's mom, Dorothy Letterman and her pies, one of the best highlights of his series.
    Rest In Peace, Dorothy Letterman. 🕯

      Fun fact: I actually live in a house at the exact same address as the house Dave grew up in Indianapolis, just one street over. I can walk two blocks to the grade school he went to and six blocks to the high school he went to. Oh and the guy that put a new roof on my house, he was Dave's High School classmate! 😁

      It's funny; I never even considered that. I suppose I was young enough when I was watching that I didn't think about it, and I would actually feel terrible if I found out it wasn't her home. Instead, I feel relief.

    Funny, what Don says. I have watched many of the staffers shows here, including a dozen that ran after this episode, and this one makes the warmest impact. By far. And forgive me, but much finer with the passage of time, from what is shown.
    Of course, don't believe anything you see on TV!
