David Letterman auditioned for the role of Ted Stryker in the movie "Airplane!" and the footage is on youtube.
The laughter you hear is the Late Night studio audience.

If Thurston Howell III were alive, he'd hang out here.
Just a point of personal privilege: the video displayed above was "appropriated" from an expanded video I had uploaded on YouTube last October. It consists of the complete interview with the Zuckers and Abraham plus the audition reel. Here's that link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TPwNVG14OIM
ReplyDeleteThursday morning I re-upped an edit of that October video: just the audition clip plus the conversation that preceded it. That's here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZt3-BW2334
I would have had no problem had the uploader acknowledged his source -- me -- but he didn't. He just took what I had made available for the first time since the interview aired on March 15, 1982, and then credited himself for this "first-time ever" exposure.
Don, I've changed the video. Sorry it took me so long.
