The Taxi cast is iconic. An amazing ensemble of top top notch actors. Growing up in the 70s and 80s, we were blessed to experience them. Andy Kaufmann was an entertainment, comic genius, so far above his audience.

In 2006 scientists identified a condition they’ve named Highly Superior Autobiographical Memory (HSAM). It is extremely rare. People with this condition can instantly remember and recall, from a young age, any and every day of their lives in detail. To date less than 100 people in the world have been recognized as having this condition. Marilu Henner is one of these people. She and others have been and continue to be studied by researchers and experts in the field of memory. What these scientists learn could have positive effects on the treatment of Alzheimer’s and other memory impairments.

She aged very well. She has an amazing memory

The day before thanksgiving and no Christmas decorations yet. We should go back to that.

The band definitely liked her, along with the rest of us!

She's more in contact with the reality around her than very few people in human history have ever been.

She and Carrie Fisher were my first preadolescent crushes. 😍

Marilu Henner literally runs the gauntlet with her mind.

I was a month and two days old when this aired but unfortunately still missed this episode of Dave. darn.

There was no reruns of the show back then….are you saying you first started watching Letterman every night as a infant? 🤔

Thanks so much

Some great genuinely awkward moments in there.

Very good . Thank you. Couldn’t help but notice Dave sat at a real desk & Marilu had a nice chair that showed her at her best and she seemed more comfy than today’s late night guests who often squirm & tug at their clothes in a deeper seated lounge chair .

i was looking forward to the clip

If you're wondering why Dave seems awkward at first, it's because he is. This is from the first year of the show. Several months earlier, he was often quite awkward, and the shows were sometimes cringy. It got mixed reviews and was almost cancelled. But that's when he got better, because, being convinced that the show would be cancelled, he ceased to care anymore and that's when he started to just be himself. I myself thought the show was stupid at first and didn't watch it, but after the first year it quickly grew on me and became one of my all-time favorites.

@@dongiller I really wish I did, but I lived through that era and remember how underwhelming the show was initially and how, out of nowhere, it suddenly got hugely better. I also remember an interview I saw with him where he talks about this. But I haven't found it, and I tried to confirm when it was the show was nearly cancelled and came up empty. I suppose it's possible that he just saw the writing on the wall and knew the show was bound to get cancelled, and that's when he ceased to care and then got good. Mind you, I haven't exhaustively tried to confirm my statements, just a fairly quick search. (If my writing seems a bit odd, it's because I'm [maybe more than just] a little drunk.)

Fair enough. My sense was that Dave was always insecure about the show’s success and would reveal that when discussing it in interviews. But I’ve never come across any trade report that hinted at the show’s possible demise. I think it was just Dave being Dave.

She did a great job not talking about Andy.

I loved Marilu on Taxi and I knew she lived next door to my friend in Logan Square, but when she showed up in my class at St. Ben's, in '78-'79 I became a true fan. She was beautiful, sweet, genuine, and did I say beautiful?

Highly Superior Autobiographical Memory and learning are two different things. I think she would have to study and learn a new language pretty much like anybody else does. The difference with her is in ten, twenty, or thirty years she could recall any and every day she learned it down to what day of the week it was, what clothing she was wearing, what she learned that day, what the weather was like, and other things that occurred in the news that day with accuracy. Her HSAM condition is truly astonishing. As far as quickly learning a new language look up the prodigious savant Daniel Tammet. There’s a documentary about him. Near the end of this documentary he takes on the challenge of learning Icelandic, considered to be one of the hardest languages in the world to master, in one week. He pulled it off. At the end of the week he went on a nationally broadcast television talk show in Iceland to converse with the hosts in fluent Icelandic. Daniel Tammet’s abilities are particularly astounding. kzread.info/dash/bejne/o4GulcmjnJzeXbA.html
