    As a kid I never knew who Charles Grodin was and LOVED every time he was on the show. I love that someone can keep in character like this and make it hilarious every time.

    I love the early shows. I’d stay up later just to watch. It was like an irreverent alternative to Carson, definitely fashioned for the younger college crowd. So clever and hip. Great comedy, interesting guests and outstanding music. It had such a cool New York vibe to it. By the time Dave got to CBS, I’m afraid his show was almost unwatchable! Totally different.

    He started it on Carson's Tonight Show which is why they had the opening about being "friendly." He did this banter with Carson for many years before going on Letterman. He was mild on this first show compared to Carson. His act was so popular on Carson that they booked him during sweep (rating taking) weeks. He is obviously wicked smart as a successful writer, director, and actor.
