So I guess the fact that Lexington was closed earlier this day should have foreshadowed David Letterman... Tons of security at the show, with all the surrounding streets closed. Everyone was wondering who would be appearing in the show... Bush???? Kerry????
Turns out it was Kerry with musical guest Green Day. The protesters were anti-bush.
As for the show here are some interesting tidbits of info:
* they hand out a form at the beginning to see if anyone has any stupid human tricks or other strange things that they can use in future shows.
* no cameras and no bathroom breaks during the show
* The TV cameras and the guy holding up the cue cards block most of the stage. I spent most of my time looking at the Secret service guy or the TV - more than the show itself
* The colours of the set and the guests (and Dave) are all washed out. When shown on TV they magically become saturated. It's like all of the Red is added back in manually.
* There is a Warm up act. The orchestra does a warm up, then a standup comedian, then Dave comes out for about 3 minutes to joke around.
* During commercials and before the show they show "best of dave" clips to keep the energy level high.
* You are NOT allowed to "WOO" or whistle. Their mics cannot handle them.
* Dave drinks decaf coffee and water during the show
* Republicans never clap when a Democrat speaks (Colorado couple next to me)
* I should be on tonight's show (in the far back, dead centre). If anyone cares... I don't really.
That's all. Highly recommended activity.
