Letterman’s war on NY1 (actually quite funny)
Thursday, 19 November 2009 | by Pat's Picks
David Letterman decided to have some fun at the expense of NY1. Our man-on-the-street Roger Clark and I were the subjects of his “Local News Reporting of the Night” segment. That’s not, generally, a good thing.
But we’re kind of thrilled to have been a part of it.
Unlike Dave and his 42 minute daily gig, I’m on the desk for hours at a time. Of course there are technical glitches when you produce that much TV. We put together our own blooper reel every year for our staff party.
I’ve been looking for a digital copy of the Letterman segment all day. And now the folks at Gawker have posted it for your enjoyment.
For the record, we were playing a long soundbite. While that was on, Roger’s cell phone connection to our control room dropped. He thought he was still waiting for a cue.
