This Looks Interesting…Anyone Know How This Turned Out?

Canon must be proud to know that their lenses are “Letterman Proof”. As we all know, Dave has been known to rough house with them and his friend, Craig Ferguson, has learned from the master.

William French, our friend in San Francisco, sent this overnight. I don’t know what’s happening here, but with a prop lens shroud over the real one, you know that a physical gag is only seconds away.

A note said this was from a Letterman episode taped 4/24/14. I can’t find the clip…anyone have it? 4/24 would have been Thursday, and both the Thursday and Friday shows are taped that day, so this could be from either show.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=521LxMLqK28 There is this gag from the ’70s _Match Game_. Gene Rayburn just attacked the poor camera.

    Thanks to Gary Walters for finding this, it’s around the 29 minute mark, after 5 net commercials. http://www.cbs.com/shows/late_show/video/PA_Bo8f95DCDKEj10uCsmPzvr9cvC74o/the-late-show-4-24-2014/

    Bobby, I found it. Go to Ep4017 (4/24/14) at 29 minutes in the video. Letterman puts his hand in the prop lens shroud. Funny gag.

    …Dave must have watched a lot of Ernie Kovacs film
    s and tapes when he was younger.
