There was a followup exactly a year later, with video tributes from Bill Cosby, Connie Chung, and Ed Marinaro, while NBC nurse Denise Robinson presented Wendy with the network’s dental plan. Then a clip from “We Are the World,” with Paul replacing Bruce Springsteen. (This was before that song’s publishers sent a cease and desist. The show consequently never reaired anywhere.)
Oh Don, I can't tell you how happy I am your work has been acknowledged. Many times in the past I wanted to thank you for what you ve done about LN. I guess it could never be possible to thank you enough.Your channel has been a friend, a consolation, a real comfort throughout my difficult times. Thank you Don. For every single video you ve ever uploaded.
What a terrific segment, complete with that hilariously ominous "be a team player" schtick woven into the video tributes! Thanks so much, I'd never seen this one!
OMG. The type of thing that really didn't happen down at the EST after the move, at least after the first couple years there. We must know - where is Ms Moran now?

Awesome recap as always, Don :-)

@@_Tanasis_ Thank you! You’re very kind.
Would like to see that
what a fantastic segment. this was the magic of late night.
There will never be another version of “Late Night” like the one with Dave Letterman
True, but Conan did a great job and made the show his own.
Those skits with ordinary folks were the best! Love that poster, I want it in my office right now!
May We Please Press your Pants. Always cracks me up so much!!
Dave was so great when he was on NBC.
Nothing like a call from Col. Gordon Cooper to welcome you into a new position.

Perfection. Everything about this was perfect.
I loved when Dave was at NBC and was always taking the piss out of the network, especially when GE bought them later. Comedy gold.
David Letterman, always the great interviewer 🙌👍
Fun fact; Wendy Moran is now runnin' the joint
and has Larry "Bud" Melman regularly prank-calling Connie, Marv, and Willard.
No one looked more like a Willard than Willard Scott.
That was surprisingly heartwarming!
Now we need to know where Wendy is now.....
she has her own burger empire ...
I loved Larry.
This was terrific!
Segments like this inspired so much. And Marv’s hair was looking particularly robust that night.
NBC used to do this for every new employee, but had to cut back due to budget concerns
OMG. The type of thing that really didn't happen down at the EST after the move, at least after the first couple years there.
We must know - where is Ms Moran now?
I miss Larry "Bud" Melman.
he lived to 85, and I don't think he ever quite knew why people laughed at him, but he was glad they did.
2:40 Marv, Marv, Marv … what the *hell* were you thinking?
I've always wondered - does Dave have any input about the choices of old clips, and does he enjoy watching them?
Someone in the audience, and myself, knew right away that that phone call was going to be from Col. Gordon Cooper.
Pretty classic!!
Dave .. we miss you
What happened to Wendy?
Man, she was right there with it until Larry grabbed her drink!
Hilarious.
Does this mean Wendy is dead?
Shouldn't that sash say "Nelcome"?
Flushing, NY? Does anybody really live in Flushing, NY. She must live in a auto chop shop.
Nelcome
Love the training video.
My god, this shtick is the first cousin of andy kaufman
That training video did not age well
I think it would have had a tongue-in-cheek feel to it in 1984.
@@pauld.172 I don't even want to think about how old I was in 1984
