To Celebrate His 28th Anniversary, Watch Letterman's Rare 1981 HBO Special

by Bob Sassone, posted Feb 2nd 2010 1:04PM
Last night was the 28th Anniversary of David Letterman and Paul Shaffer doing a show together, either on CBS or NBC (I guess they're not including Letterman's morning show on NBC). What was Dave doing before he went on late night? Well, the videos below and after the jump offer a glimpse of what Dave was doing. Someone has posted his rare 1981 HBO special 'Looking For Fun' on YouTube, and it's an interesting curio from the early 80s.

Update: looks like HBO made YouTube take it down. Sigh. Can't find another version. If you do, let us know!

Videos removed due to corporate greed. HBO: "Oh no, we can't let them see a 29 year old, VHS-quality video for free!"

I can't believe I missed the HBO 81 Letterman special being up there...anyone track down another version out there? I remember seeing this in NY at the museum of broadcasting back in the early 90's.
