The Place:  Late Night with David Letterman.  Broadcast
Wednesday November 4th, 1987.


The Scene:  It is 5:30 in the evening on a weekday.  David
Letterman is hanging out of a window of the NBC building in
New York City with a bullhorn.  He is calling down to the
pedestrians below on the sidewalk in front of Radio City
Music Hall.  He has attracted quite a crowd.


    "Attention people of New York City...  Attention
    citizens of New York City...  My name is Robert C.
    Wright.  I am the president of NBC.  The most
    powerful television network in the world.  I'm not
    wearing pants.  I am not wearing pants.  You
    people go home.  The christmas tree is not up yet.
    Go back to Long Island.  We don't want you here."


David then reads the evening's Top Ten list to the
