Letterman Hosts A Game Show & A Comedy Sketch With Michael Jackson

David Letterman hosted a demo for a game show called "The Riddler" in 1977.
David is funny as a host. This show didn't fly, not just because the show is lame but Dave's sense of humour is not the typical game show host style. He is hilarious.
Check it out. Part 1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3pMBzcn_GP4&feature=related
Part 2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FclEiVC6uHk&feature=related
Part 3 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vilj2R6azPQ&feature=related

Also, take a look at Dave with Michael Jackson on The Jacksons Variety show. It so bizarre to see Dave & Michael together in this sketch.
