Dave Letterman Worried His ‘Late Night’ Shenanigans Might Have Killed Someone
“Honest to God, it was the worst day of my television life,” David Letterman told Ellen DeGeneres back in 2019, as reported by Last Night On. “And maybe the worst day of my life.”
Good gravy, Dave, what happened? A Top Ten list that only went to seven? Larry “Bud” Melman got run over by the D train? An intern outing a Letterman affair on national television?
Somehow it was worse than all that. Letterman was horsing around with his producer, Mary, both wearing baseball mitts and whipping hardballs around the office. “Mary can bring it, there’s no question about that,” remembered the comic. “And we’re trying to get that thwack, just that perfect thwack you get when the ball hits the pocket.”
Producer Mary was in one corner of the office and Letterman was on the other, heaving the ball back and forth as fast and hard as they could.
