    I’d love to tell you guys of the three-day long campaign I had when I was 14, to try to talk with Dave on air during filming in order to get an invite to the show as a guest as the 14-year-old impressionist. I was really good at voice impressions and I called NBC as Jimmy Carter. The next to last call I made, I actually spoke with Hal Gurnee in the booth during the show’s taping! My mom and her best friend, Lil, were stunned I got that far. There’s more to the story, but that’s for Dave & Barbara to hear. Anyway… thank you for posting this video.
