Who would you like to see Dave interview
that he hasn't already?

Here's a list of people, I think he hasn't yet: (criteria - must be
still alive!)

Barbara Striesand
Sarah Palin
Andy Rooney
Mike Wallace - not sure if he hasn't

Who would be on this list?

Streisand would never come on unless Dave changed his set around. She
wouldn't sit on that side of the desk.

Streisand did a walk on, Andy Rooney was interviewed on Late Night in
the first year of the show and appeared in a sketch wrestling Dave in
the first year of Late Show, and Mike Wallace has been on at least a
couple of times. The last I remember he busted in to Sirajul and
Mujiburs' (remember them?) for a parody of one his famous exposes'

Actually, what talk shows has Jack actually been on in the past?

Dave interviewed Andy Rooney two weeks after he went on the air with
LNDL, and it didn't go well.

1. Neil Armstrong, because I've never seen him interviewed

2. Ann Coulter, because it would be exciting

3. Donz, because he's great with one-liners

4. Alessandra Ambrosio, because I like supermodels

5. Parker Posey, because she's awesome

6. Steve Jobs

#3 will never happen. I'd freeze like a beached whale. And then I'd

Magnifying glasses were used for many purposes other than checking for

You have to go outside to acquire ticks.

You've been checking somebody else?

Interesting replies so far.

Woody Allen seems to be hardest guest to
book for a talk show. Though, he did appear
several times with Dick Cavett and with Johnny.

Barbara Streisand would be next "difficult" guest
to get on stage. She did that "Actor's Studio" gig
a couple of years ago and she really wasn't liking it,
though I thought she did well.

Neil Armstrong has never given any kind of interview
in the last 30 years. I don't think he even showed
up for the anniversary of the moon landing.

Was the moon landing anniversary held in a sound stage in Hollywood, too?

I'd still like to see Dick Van Dyke interviewed by Dave.
In the past few years, after decades where I never spotted him
on talk shows, he's turned up twice on Bonnie Hunt's
show and recently on Craig Ferguson's show. A wonderful guest.
Curious why he wasn't turning up on shows before that.

Garry "Cartoon Boy" Trudeau hasn't been a guest, which
is surprising given how many times his wife has been on.
Trudeau doesn't appear on TV much, but he showed up
for Colbert this month, so anything's possible.

More classical musicians to talk as well as play or sing.
Dave seemed honestly surprised how enjoyable and entertaiing
Alison Belson's Baroque trumpet performance was. There's
much more where that music came from.

I looked up information on Dick Van Dyke to see if there
were any interviews that I'd overlooked during Letterman's
hosting years. I was surprised to see that, during my college
years when I rarely saw television, he had a sitcom called
The New Dick Van Dyke Show. During the first few seasons,
he played the host of a TV talk show in Phoenix, Arizona.
I wonder if that fictional experience gave him too much of
a "been there, done that" feeling about being a talk show guest?

DId you see the "30 Rock" episode that included the Cash Cab?
Tracy Jordan is desperate to get somewhere on time and hails
a cab that turns out to be the Cash Cab. To keep riding to
his destination, he manages to respond to the questions with
correct answers deduced from memories of skeevy incidents
from his life.

Speaking of Cartoon Boys, I'd love to see Stephan Pastis
(Pearls Before Swine) interviewed...along with Jeffy Keane.

I want to see Jeffy Keane tell about being in a bar and fulfilling a
request to draw Little BIlly on a lesbian biker's bicep to serve as a
pattern for her tattoo. Photo evidence of that scene used to be on Bud
"Piranha Club" Grace's website. Speaking further of Cartoon Boys, Dan
"Bizarro" Piraro would be an engaging guest, and I second the vote for
Stephan Pastis, who is a good talker as well.

Just for the Canadian viewers.

Citizens of the United States saw the real deal.

I used to watch that...in the second season they moved him from Phoenix to L.A.
and made him the star of a soap opera...one gag from that season stands out in
my mind: the female co-star of the soap wasn't showing up for tapings (in rehab
or negotiating her contract) so the writers had decided to send her character to
a cabin in the mountains...as they started shooting one scene, Dick's
character's character (drat this show-within-a-show foolishness!) begins to
storm angrily out of a room, telling the other characters "Veronica's waiting
for me at the lake!" at which point he begins giggling....

The soap's director turns angrily to one of the writers and gives him hell for
sneaking another of his (presumably numerous) "Veronica Lake" jokes into the
script....r

The move to LA was in the third season. Match Game regulars Fannie
Flagg and Richard Dawson were both regulars but in the different
cities/formats. The program wasn't so much cancelled but just ended
when Dick Van Dyke and/or Carl Reiner walked off after CBS refused to
broadcast an episode in which DVD's character's daughter walks in on her
parents having sex.
