Late Show press release on young and old guests

``HEY KIDDIES...IT'S ME, DAVE!''
On the LATE SHOW, some of the biggest laughs and comedy moments
have come from Letterman's youngest -- and oldest -- guests.
As Letterman is known to say, ``The kids love me!'' From ``Kids
Tell Jokes'' to Halloween Trick or Treaters to sit-down interview
appearances, Letterman has been applauded for his interaction with his
younger guests. The Oakland Tribune wrote, ``(Letterman) relates to
children better than anyone since Art Linkletter.'' Following is a
sampling of some of Dave's gifted kids: 2+-year-old car expert Daniel
Haber 3-year-old geography expert Stefan Seville 4-year-old geography

To me, this was possibly one of the funniest segments ever on Dave's
show. The kid saw himself in the monitor and started to make faces at
himself. It was priceless. Then when Dave finally got his attention back
and asked him what he could do with all his toothpaste tubes, the kid
started counting them. (Dave: "You're not a toothpaste connoisseur,
you're a toothpaste accountant!") Then, of course, they brushed their
teeth together. I laughed so hard my stomach hurt.
