Living". One of her suggestions was something she had done which, was blindfold
her husband whisk him into a limo and fly him to Puerto Vallarta. Letterman
kept pressing her to name something the average person could do to spice up
their love life and you could see seymour getting more and more peeved, at one
point saying something like "you obviously have no sense of romance"

Ahh, yes.. I remember it as if it aired as recently as 1986 (rubbing chin,
sfx: gliss, soft focus fade to a classic Late Night with David Letterman
show)...
Dave's was wearing a tight, shiny, black, single-breasted jacket... grey
pants, a yellow tie, and white Adidas shoes. The monologue was a whopping
two jokes: NBC Commissary, and Richard Nixon & Telly Savalas. This show was
the episode after the "180 Degree Show" and during a lull, Dave asked Hal to
rotate the picture again. Hal consented and Dave explained that phone calls
came in talking about how the show was busted last night.
Dave shows off Jane Seymour's book, "Jane Seymour's Guide To Romantic
Living." He then introduces Late Night staffer Bob Rooney as a studio
technician who has his own book out.. which leads us to tonight's Top Ten
category: "Bob Rooney's Rules For Romantic Living." Highlights include: "8.
Wine + beer: never fear, beer + wine: also fine, prestone + gin: think
again" and "6. Keep a shirt in the car so you can get in the 7 - 11." The
Thrill-Cam closes up the Top Ten, and Dave presents "Actual Items" just in
time for the Holidays.
Acts Two and Three feature a panel discussion with Robert Cline (wearing a
black suit, a blue plaid shirt, red tie, red socks, and brown shoes)
promoting his cable show, "Robert Cline Time."
Act Four begins cold with a "Tomorrow night on Late Night.." voice-over.
Dave and Biff are in the cockpit of an airplane. As Biff pilots the craft,
he says, "About 20 minutes, Mr. Letterman." Dave is smoking a cigar, "Ok,
great. Believe me, this is one wedding that is NOT going to take place."
Fooling with the controls, Dave says, "It's not a problem if I do this here
with this thing, is it?"
"No, it's just for tourists," Biff responds with a belch.
"It's just for tourists? Do you ever bring any stewardesses up..."
"Uh, I don't feel too well," Biff says, and passes out at the controls.
The plane nose dives and Dave is hysterical, "What? Are you all right? Oh my
God.. hey! C'mon. Stop clownin' around, will ya? Get a hold of yourself!....
Oh-oh!"
Dissolve to Dave live, "also tomorrow night Paul Riser and Eddie Murphy."
The crowd groans, and Dave is irritated, "Oh, I get it - like tonight's show
is not good enough for you? Not worth the price of the ticket?" He then
introduces Joe Ponder, who through a series of demonstrations of strength
and stupidity, shows that he indeed has the strongest teeth in the world.
For Act Five, Dave is back at homebase and introduces "The Queen of the
Miniseries", Jane Seymour. Jane is wearing a black dress and chandelier
earrings. After showing them off, Dave says, "Let's talk about the book. Now
is there anything in this book, Jane..."
"That you need?" Jane interrupts and laughs.
"No.. that has anything to do with lifting weight with your teeth? Is there
anything?"
"No, but you need romance." Jane smiles.
"Oh yeah, I'm always lookin' for romance."
"You are?"
"Yeah. Why did you write this book?"
"Because I like romance."
"Now define that for us."
"Romance?"
"No, book." Jane and the audience laughs. Dave makes a face and sets the
book aside. "Ah, of _course_, define romance!"
"Ok, romance.. well. The point about romance, and what things that are
romantic.. is that they're undefinable. They are things that happen, and
create great memories, and they are things that live with you the rest of
your life."
"Now do you practice what is in this book?"
She talks about putting her mistakes in the book.. revealing that she is in
the midst of her third marriage, she claimed she has been "living
romantically since I was born." The British actress then told of her 2nd
anniversary when her husband giving her a "beautiful diamond pendant in the
bottom of a champagne glass about two days before our anniversary" and she
was so thrilled, that she decided to kidnap him. She arranged things with
his office so she could take him away from his work for three days. On
Monday morning when he was getting ready for work, she told him he couldn't
leave until after 9 a.m. At 9, a car came and she "shoved him in the back
and took him to a place where I wouldn't tell him where he was." Dave asked
if she "pistol whipped him or anything?" No, she allowed him one phone call
back to his work to let them know that he was ok, and then whisked him off
to Cabo San Lucas to stay in a hut on the beach. She said they woke up to
find everything floating in 7 inches of water, since the tide came in.
Dave rubbed his forehead and said, "But, see, now, see Jane it's easy to be
romantic when you can afford to go to Cabo San Lucas for a three day weekend
and you can afford a car and you're drinkin' champagne and there's a $40,000
gem in the... but, what about average folks, you know?"
Jane laughed and said, "Absolutely. That's why I wrote the book. It's all
about things you can do for nothing."
"Yeah, ok. We'll do a commercial and when we come back you can give us an
example of one of those things and we'll see how it stacks up to a weekend
in Cabo San Lucas.." And off to commercial break we went, with Dave and Jane
both smiling big.
Back from the break, Dave show off Jane in the holiday issue of Playboy and
calls her a "fabulous babe." Jane giggles at everything Dave says.
Then, getting back to the romance thing, Jane says you don't have to go to
Mexico. She suggests having a picnic in Central Park, and says, "I realize
this book is over your head" and laughs. The audience woos. Dave picks up
her book and begins flipping thru. "Get back to Playboy," Jane says. "You'll
have more use out of the one with the blue cover." Jane laughs.
Dave takes it well, and looks up from the book saying, "No, it's not. It's
not over my head. I was just interested in as to how your husband might
react to some of these little.. you know being kidnapped, for example, and
hauled off to Mexico."
"He reacted very well. Yeah, we're still married."
"Well that's good. But you would suggest that this is the kinda thing you do
on a regular basis."
"No."
Dave is surprised, "No? Well, not the kidnaping, but these other little
things."
"No. None of these things. The whole point.. if there's any regularity then
you've missed the point completely."
Dave laughs, as does some of the audience.
Jane continues, "It's about an attitude to life... it's about the surprise
element.. it's about having fun." At this point, Dave is grinning and moves
the sheet of paper with notes about the guest out of the way, to his far
left hand side. Jane is still talking, "You should not do it every single
day of your life, or it gets boring."
"Yeah, good. Right. I'm glad you put those in the book." Jane laughs, and
Dave pats the book saying, "We'll be right back."
Coming out of the break, Dave is still looking thru the book, "Ok, it's Jane
Seymour's Guide To Romantic Living, or you can buy my new book, Dave
Letterman's Guide To Living Like A Shop Teacher. So, folks, we'll see you
tomorrow night. Thanks very much. Jane, thank you for..." As the closing
theme drowns out Dave, Jane is shaking his hand and smiling.
If Jane was upset at all or anywhere near tears, she showed no signs of it
on the broadcast. She laughed at everything Dave said, and ribbed him a few
times. I saw Dave smirking a few times, and I felt that she came off as a
snobby, uppity, pampered trophy wife.. but she had a good sense of humor (or
is that humour?) on-air.

Thanks to Chad ... and to Jason ... for recapping this interview. I, like
Jason, believed that Jane was *not* particularly amused by Dave's comments.
But, of course, I have not seen this interview since it first aired so my
memory might be a little fuzzy. I just remember thinking, before the interview
even took place, that Dave was going to mercilessly make fun of Jane and the
subject matter ... I mean, Dave being Dave and all ;) Under the circumstances,
I think Dave actually showed restraint! The recap made me laugh ... thanks for
going to the trouble of providing such detail, Chad.

I think she was irritated, but she was cordial on air. I'd like to hear some
kind of insider's behind-the-scenes look at what happened after the show
(with bonus sports recap). If only the Wahoo existed back in those days..

Yeah.. when they did the Top Ten, I thought "here we go!"

I agree. You can kind of see that look in his eye that just says, "oh,
boy"..

No problem.. it's rerun week. Like I've got something better to do.

Thanks for that great recap of the show, Chad.
Flash forward two days: Chad opens his mailbox to find an envelope with a New
York City postmark. Inside is a paper with "Back off! - D.G." written in
blood.

Could it have been another appearance? There is a book about David
Letterman and in it they even mention how Jane left the green room in
tears after an appearance on his show. The chapter dealt with
actresses David has brought to tears. I also know for a fact that
after the incident Jane refused to ever do Letterman again and she
kept to her promise until 1997 when Les Moonves personally called and
asked her to do the show as a favor to promote her season finale of Dr
Quinn. Jane refused to do the show until Les himself asked her to. So
whatever happened it had a profound effect on her.

First, Seymour appeared on LSwDL May 7, 1996, not 1997.
Second, Chad has described her first appearance from December 10, 1986. It was
her second appearance on LNwDL -- February 12, 1987, where Seymour allegedly
left the building in tears. The only clue that it was this show and not the
first is this: During the week of December 4, 1989, the show aired reruns with
the theme being "Mad as Hell Week." The 2/12/87 show was shown that Friday.
Other shows that reaired during "Mad as Hell Week":
12/4/89: rerun of 12/29/82 (with Natassia Kinski and her hair)
12/5/89: rerun of 1/6/87 (with Harvey Pekar)
12/6/89: rerun of 8/5/87 (with Oliver Reed)
12/7/89: rerun of 10/4/88 (with Shirley MacLaine)

Ok thanks. I wasnt sure if it was 96 or 97. I'm sure you're right
about the second appearance being the one so the question is does
anyone know the details of that appearance? Btw thanks Charles for
posting the first in detail. What a memory you must have!
