Classic Dave - NBC bookmobile, 2/4/88

The bookmobile tries to drive into the set of Live at 5.

This makes me nostalgic for Dave's NBC show. He had such an edge back then.

[@ronegan2840]

The best bookmobile ever was “Woman’s Be Thinkin Too Much” by Ike Turner.

[@oig40203]

I agree. Is it on KZbin somewhere?

[@jasenweitekamp2036]

Yeah! I've always remembered that one! Hilarious!

[@MSoulPoet]

He is a perfect balance of gruff but lovable. In fact, the Taoists originally used "gruff" and "lovable" instead of "yin" and "yang."

Gruff but lovable Gus..the looks on his face...LOL!! Robert at 66.

The very day before Jimmy the Greek made the infamous racist remarks that destroyed his career, my father ranted at one of his broadcasts, "Doesn't this idiot ever know when to shut up?" Prophetic statement.

i used to watch dave and have a coke and a smile

[@arthowardatnight]

Let's make a poll. Did you consider gruff but lovable old Gus to be more gruff, or lovable?

[@earring1]

Art Howard definitely more on the gruff side.

[@anthonysacco4718]

72% gruff, 28% lovable.....

[@rondy702]

I would say gruff, based on memory; but seeing it now I think Dave was right in saying lovable!

[@bobmalack481]

Both..Robert at 66.

[@JimmySand9]

I'm surprised CBS gave Dave a show after what Gus did to their bookmobile. I guess Larry Tisch didn't hold grudges.

[@cowboytim9882]

Horrendous audio. Can barely understand the book lady!

[@ruthecker399]

[@erwinrommel9525]

[@WizardGlik]

[@erwinrommel9525]
