Given the recent events at OT, and considering how a post of mine was used in the early parts of that deadly flame war (how the hell was I involved????), my thoughts raced back to one of my favorite "New Gift Ideas" from the old Late Night days.

What say we add "Oiler99", "KingOfMasks" and, from what I read, "Johnny Mullet" (his was independent of the flame war to which I speak), to the group of "Banned for Life Action Figures" that included Pete Rose, Washington Redskins' Defensive Lineman Dexter Manley and, of course, the entire Oklahoma University football team....

Dave was on Howard's radio show this morning to celebrate Howard's 50th Birthday. Missed it, but here's the recap from Mark's Friggin.com:

David Letterman Wishes Howard A Happy Birthday. 01/12/04. 7:20am

Robin had to ask Stuttering John and Colin to leave the studio because they had another guest coming in. It was David Letterman, the real David Letterman who actually showed up to wish Howard a happy birthday. Howard said it wasn't ''Evil Dave'' today. Dave came in and said that since Howard was nice enough to come on his show a couple of weeks ago, he figured he owed it to him. He didn't bring Howard a gift or anything because when people do that on his show, it's a waste of time. Dave told Howard that this whole thing wasn't his idea. Howard said he knows Dave hates doing stuff like this and that makes him uncomfortable.
Howard said he really had a good time doing Dave's show last time but it was in a strange way. Dave said they may be doing each other's shows because they just don't care anymore. Howard asked Dave if he was freaked out when he turned 50. Dave said that it's when you hit 55 and start coming up on 60 is when it starts to hit you. Dave also said that he can't believe he's still on TV at this age.

Howard said that he really wants to leave radio at the end of his contract and asked Dave what he thought. Dave said that he might be saying that now but we'll have to see what he's saying in two years. Howard said there were times when he and Dave would talk to each other on the phone and this is the same stuff they'd talk about. They'd both get depressed.

Howard and Robin asked Dave what he thinks about having a baby. He said it's actually kind of fun having his son. He said he didn't know how amusing the baby would be. Dave told Howard that he was already living with his girlfriend before the baby came around. Robin said that the baby's name is Harry Letterman but it's not real until Dave marries the woman. Dave said he was married at one point and he's in no rush to do that again.

Howard talked to Dave about what he's doing about taking care of the baby and all of that. He said that he doesn't have anyone in the house helping out at this point. He said he hasn't had anyone in there yet but he can't say that he never will. Dave said that he's even changing diapers himself. Howard said he never did that stuff because he had to wake up to do the radio show. Dave said that sleep is not imperative for the type of show he does.

Dave told Howard that he's just going to wait to get fired at this point in his career. He said he doesn't care. He also told Howard that he'll never have his girlfriend or baby on his TV show. That led to them talking about Kathie Lee Gifford and how she always put her kids on TV. Howard found out that Kathie Lee doesn't do his show that much anymore so she must be ''off the list'' for Dave's show. Howard said she did Jimmy Kimmel's show so she must be kind of desperate to get on TV.

Howard told Dave that he was making him very uptight. He said he had a good time on Dave's show the last time he did it in November. He said that Dave gave him his first break and had him on his TV show when he was working at WNBC. Howard said that he feels affection for Dave because of what he did for him but it's very awkward. Howard said that he felt that when he did Dave's show in November. Fred started to play sad piano music in the background as Howard was telling Dave this stuff.

Dave asked if Evil Dave was going to call in before he left. Howard said if he knew Dave was coming in he would have had Evil Dave come in as well. Howard had to wrap up the quick interview shortly after that. He thanked Dave for coming in and went to commercial break.

I'm wonder if they'll have that as a "comedy clip" on the Dave website.

In the Wahoo they have a picture of the modified web site showing Dave.

But to hear Dave do his Assclown Leno impression was priceless. Or, as Dave would say, it was worth the price of admission.....
