Now, that's a classic Viewer Mail segment. A perfect rendition of the Viewer Mail theme song, funny letters, and a bunch of wonderful performers. Perfect!

[@plaws0]

Just came here to say basically that, but you covered it well. Agreed! Peak LNwDL.

[@KungEMuller]

@@plaws0 Exactly. Let me take it one step further. That's peak late night TV.

[@plaws0]

@@KungEMuller No notes.

[@KungEMuller]

@@plaws0 It's true. Thanks, my friend.

I thought pretty much the same thing. They were really hitting their peak in these years.

[@larsbagger7840]

Sue Hum + Gerard Mulligan = MAGIC !

[@RobLives4Love]

i unironically love the Viewer Mail theme, i miss it

[@daveanderson7304]

This appears to me to be "Peak Letterman". I loved it.

[@UniversalExports23]

Gerry! Gerry! Gerry! 😂

[@johnpelletier7641]

Gerard as Plant Boy. The best in entertainment.

[@vlady8me]

there is no Bowie without Newley

[@ClockwiseCat]

Or Associates, it seems

Top 10 viewer mail skit...Plant Boy..Dave's fashion and a Theme song that was actually sung...😂

[@kstepko]

Dave does not seem very impressed that Anthony Newley hit that final note a full two octaves above his normal range.

[@cygil1]

He knows it's a lie. A fifth at most

[@kelvinlee7506]

Why didn't the fashion show feature those iconic socks? 😂

[@cygil1]

Biff Henderson has always been 60?

[@gluecement]

Did Plant Boy eventually evolve into Pea boy?

[@kstepko]

The real reason that the Ed Sullivan theatre was always so cold? No tire fire at CBS.

[@bluebear1985]

On the program tonight, we've got comedian Jerry Seinfeld, hockey superstar Wayne Gretzky, and the Queen of R&B herself, Ruth Brown. You don't want to miss this one, kids.

[@edslota]

Fan Request: perhaps a supercut of the best of the Phil Donahue countdown calendar?

[@elinblackburn7345]

anthony newley looks like we caught him in the middle of dinner.

[@jslim398]

@dongiller will know... who are "Belinda", "Deborah" and "Simone"? I believe I've seen them before...

[@user-gl5ld9vm7i]

I'm an herbologist, the experimental Plant-Boy is a fine grow. I'm a connoisseur of the finest green herbs. Emerald consumption. Aesthetical highs, of an budalicious sport. So many strains and flavors for days. Herb burnin' on,,,matters🪴 👔😊 👖🧥 🧦👖
