Meg Parsont Collection on Letterman, Part 1 of 3: 1990

[@jameskosloff387]

I am 43 and live in Melbourne Australia. The Late Show with David Letterman made me want to move to New York and be part of the culture. Meg, I feel, represents the best of it. I was so sad and angry when 911 happened. These clips are an archive of the 'Golden Age' that we must all treasure.

[@BinaryJoe]

An hour and a half of this held my attention better than any movie made in the last few years.

[@MiddleMalcolm]

Finding someone as charming as she is was like winning the lottery on that first call. What a great bit this was, and part of the hilarity is Dave dialing the phone himself. This is such prime Dave. Thanks for all the work putting these together.

[@noapologiesproductions5304]

These clips bring me true joy. I was young and naive in 1990, and this takes me back there, despite it all.

[@craigcampbell1843]

I always liked how Meg waved by opening and closing her hand. It’s endearing.

[@jimreily7538]

It is right ? I was just thinking the same thing

The show was incredibly lucky to happen to call Meg out of all the offices in her building. She was wonderful and always seemed fun to talk to.

Remember when we had 3 channels and late night was this good?

[@ihavefallenandicantreachmy2113]

Four Channels, wherever i am. ABC, NBC, CBS and PBS (not that i am bragging.)

[@mariocisneros911]

That was in the 1950's

[@user-ut9ln4vd5m]

Mario Cisneros But even with a dozen or two channels, they were almost all infomercials or off the air overnight, so only a couple (maybe 3) would have any real shows on. So technically correct?

[@sfcmp7005]

We had the 4 main channels, NBC, ABC, CBS and PBS, and then we were lucky, we lived an hour outside Chicago, and we picked up 2 extra channels out of Chicago on UHF. Channel 32, and Channel 44. They actually had good stuff on them every once in a while, for kids anyway. Some pretty good cartoons, and White Sox games. I was a Cubs fan, but still occasionally watched the Sox. I liked watching when Wilber Wood pitched because he threw knuckleballs. As a kid that putch just fascinated me. He joined the Sox in 1967.

[@gardensofthegods]

​@@sfcmp7005right same here in Philadelphia and then at some point when I was still just a kid we ended up with originally I think just one channel on UHF and then to and then three ... wow when we went into UHF we really thought we were badass having one or two extra channels at first ... but it really did make a difference though .

May I say that this is absolutely the best channel on KZbin. Thank you. Everyone who watched that original NBC show knows the magic that surrounded it. You tuned to see Dave. You never knew what was going to happen. Even Eddie Vedder said that before Pearl Jam he was a night security guard and David was his co-pilot every night.

[@Bill_Woo]

There is a lot of PAINSTAKING old school editing in order to build a video like this, similar to how I remember doing with a pair of cassette recorders, later VCRs. This is *VERY WELL DONE.*

[@Bill_Woo]

@burteriksson When making audiocassettes there was a brief time interval that the erase head preceded the record head, meaning that when you push record there is a tiny overlap, "double recording". I liked that effect, so a new song ttarted above the last second or so of the previous fadeout. I was fascinated with (and going for a similar effect to) how DJs sometimes would play the downbeat of a new song over the fade-out of another (though they did it with two separate turntables, and just let them run together briefly before twisting down the old one's [on air] volume and lifting the needle and killing the speed and lifting the disc and sleeving it and setting it in the "played" stack. Tragic that that will not make the a great deal of sense to many nowaday listeners, even though everything I just described was the DJ's human hand operations, not electronic mumbo jumbo!).

[@Bill_Woo]

@burteriksson You busted me! Yes, nobody, but nobody "pushed record" to start recording; as you said, they released pause. At the perfect instant! Often while watching a stop watch, after the practice run establishing the exact time that the downbeat or first sound occurred! But **I** just lied! There *were* occasions where you pushed record to begin: when you heard something on radio, and said, Oh SPIT and breathlessly ran up to get it going. Hysterically examining opened cassette cases and praying that they were empty, so you wouldn't record over a treasure, because you hadn't labeled it yet! Or making wartime decisions like, can I tape over this thing that I really wanted to keep, except I don't have any new tapes at the moment! Like, when you heard the guy on FM already starting "Sunday night album hour" five minutes early, OWWW, so there's no time for sane and rational behavior!

[@Bill_Woo]

@burteriksson XL II C90 :) Lots and lots of 'em. I even remember, and this is bad, the emergence of C90's because initially it was presumed that only 60s could be thick enough for suitable fidelity. And 120s were considered way out of the question for "serious" people. And those 60s made for interesting compromises with double music albums! I also remember the advent of "Chromium Dioxide" and "metal" and many debates over whether they would tear up your heads. And I'm also old enough to know people who mocked the "relatively lo-fi" cassette-using music recording people categorically, as they had their slick TEAC reel to reels. And they did indeed sound bodacious. Hey, I admire and salute your transfer project! I'm scared to start, it's such a big job.

[@johnphelan5382]

I had an office in NY city as recently as late 2019 and the window opened. If the building was built that way there's no law that made the landlords seal them up.

[@karlhungus5554]

​@@johnphelan5382 Thanks, John! Now I know the answer! I was thinking that many businesses seem to do whatever they can to limit the possibility of people hurting themselves -- and, thus, limiting their liability. Growing up, I don't recall having warnings on so many things (e.g. "Please do not stick sharpened pencil in eyes or ears. Harm may result." or "Caution: Coffee is hot. Please do not pour in lap.") or access to many dangerous areas or situations being as limited or restricted. In the case of windows being allowed to open in office/residential buildings, certainly it would be helpful on lower floors, if evacuation by the Fire Department were necessary. And, people don't seem to be throwing themselves or other items out of the windows that do open, so perhaps humanity deserves more credit than I give it. :-) I hope you and your loved ones are well and remain so.

I am so glad someone remembered Meg Parsont. She was a fixture in the late '80s when I was in college and I always loved how nonchalant she was in her appearances, always genuine and never star struck. She worked in the Simon and Shuster building, which Dave of course always called the Briggs and Stratton building. She definitely understood comedy. I hope that Meg's life since then has been good.

To be clear, her first appearance was on February 15, 1990.

​@@dongillerThat cannot be right. I remember her appearances beginning when I lived in a dorm and I last lived in a dorm in May 1988.

@@gheller2261 It is right. February 14, 1990, was her first appearance. As noted in both the video and the description that no one reads.
