By request. I hesitated putting this up because of the Cosby taint, and I understand those who would be repulsed by his presence here. But I decided to go ahead, because this was one of my favorite Late Shows, long before Cosby's ugliness came to light. This was a show that went off the rails early on, with Dave letting it ride, any pretense to a planned schedule abandoned, that I felt it worth the share, if only to hear the audience chant "Tito! Tito!"
In addition to Bill Cosby, the show included taxi drivers Charlie Bates and Buke Kadikiran; Luke Perry demonstrating a science experiment meant for bumped guest Lee Marek; and sitting in with the CBS Orchestra were the greats Tito Puente on percussion, Hilton Ruiz on piano, and Arturo Sandoval on trumpet.
And, of course, a ladder.
Segments of this show have been uploaded previously by others, but here it is complete in superior video quality and glorious stereo.
Despite Cosby's sordid history, this was one of the great Late Shows.
