"I'm the guy on the show with the best wardrobe, so people in the audience at least know where to look. Everything falls into place after that. There is very little skill involved in it. You just have to smile when things aren't that funny. And when things are sort of funny, then you have to laugh like crazy...That's about it. Everything else is done in the control room." --David Letterman-- When asked how he would explain his show to foreigners, Esquire, December 1994
I agree Ed.....the way Dave looks around "wildly" when a fake guest comes on always gives me a good laugh. The actor who does the Lyle bit is so good. I wish
Agreed. I am drawn to things that are "peculiar" and Lyle is delightfully peculiar. One thing great about his appearances is that it makes Dave the "victim"
