Letterman
premieres on
CBS Monday
The Associated Press
NEW YORK - A relaxed,
happy-looking David Letterman
brought his late-night lunacy to
CBS on Monday in the most pub
licized television event since ...
since ... well, since "Cheers"
signed off the air.
“This is CBS!" exclaimed actor
Calvert deForest, a regular on Let-
tennan's old NBC show as Larry
"Bud" Melman. l ie was the first
thing viewers of the new show
saw, just as he was on the open
ing “Late Night."
Taped Monday afternoon for
broadcast in his new 11:35 p.m.
slot, the premiere of "Late Show
with David Letterman" brought
on surprise well-wishers Tom
Brokaw and Paul Newman along
with scheduled guests Bill Mur
ray and Billy Joel.
Then Letterman, trim in his
double-breasted charcoal blazer,
strode out to a standing ovation
onto the stage of the refurbished
Ed Sullivan Theater, site of 23
years of weekly variety that in
cluded the Beatles' first American
TV appearance.
"My name is Dave, and 1
checked this now with the CBS at
torneys, and legally I CAN con
tinue talking." It was a reference
to the rancorous turn in NBC's re-
lationship with the departing
show. NBC had threatened legal
action if the CBS show appropri
ated any "Late Night" comedy
shtick.
After wishing his friend Letter-
man well, NBC anchor Brokaw
cracked up the crowd when he
snatched two cue cards.
"Those last two jokes are the
'intellectual property' of NBC,"
he said, quoting the network's
legalese.
Before spray-painting Letter-
man's brand-new desk, a wired-
up Bill Murray arrived on stage
breathless, claiming to have mis
takenly showed up at NBC before
running crosstown to Letterman's
new Broadway location.
Campus News Briefs
Corps march-in
closer to kickoff
The Texas A&M Corps of
Cadets' traditional march into
Kyle Field before home football
games will occur 45 minutes clos
er to game time this year.
In the past, the cadets have
entered the field 90 minutes prior
to the game, but now they will
enter 45 minutes before kickoff to
allow more Spectators to view
the march-in, said Maj. Gen.
Thomas Darling in a press re
lease.
The change will also allow the
cadets to spend more time with
families, friends arid visitors be
fore the game, he said.
The band will lead the cadets
into the stadium but will play
from the stands instead of the
field because the members of
both teams will be on the field.
Parsons Mounted Cavalry will
make a separate entrance 20 min
utes prior to the game.
