In 1973-75. Lewis Coury adds: "I used to live in Cincinnati, < Ohio, and there was a popular story at the time that Letterman < was fired from his job as the weatherman on one of the < Indianapolis t.v. stations for making fun of the veteran's < memorial in downtown Indy. The memorial is a tall column in < the center of the downtown area, and supposedly Dave referred < to it as a giant asparagus, 'the state tree of Indiana.'" < Before that, the same station used him as the host for a < Saturday morning kids' show and the late-night movie and he < briefly served as news anchor. Another source says Dave < once reported that the city was being pelted with hail < "the size of canned hams" and enthusiastically congratulated < a tropical storm when it was upgraded to hurricane status. < Oh, and once the satellite weather map omitted the < superimposed boundary line between Indiana and a neighboring < state (Ohio, I think). Dave noted it and dryly added, "I, < for one, do not approve." --- > A. From 1969 to 1974, as an intern and later a full-timer, Dave > worked for his hometown Channel 13, as weatherman, host of a > Saturday morning kids' show and of the late-late movie, and > as bench announcer.

Didn't he have a radio show, too? > A. For about a year following his t.v. job. It was at WNTS, back > when it was all-talk. This gig did not go so well for him. > "I was miscast because you have to have somebody who is fairly > knowledgeable, fairly glib, possessing a natural interest in a > number of topics," he later told an interviewer. "That > certainly is not me. I don't care about politics. ... The > Nixon-Watergate nonsense was the perfect example of something > about which I knew nothing and couldn't have cared less."

In 1979, Dave played a Werner Erhard-alike in an episode of < _Mork and Mindy._ His other acting credits include _Open All < Night_ (a t.v. show which lasted the season between the morning < and late-night shows, where Dave made several guest appearances), < _The Building_ (a 1993 show which starred Bonnie Hunt, was < co-produced by Dave, and featured Dave in a one-episode cameo), < another t.v. cameo on _The Larry Sanders Show_ (was picking his < 12:30 successor), and a movie cameo in _Cabin Boy_ (1994), which < starred Chris Elliott and, as Dave keenly observed, "has < BLOCKBUSTER written all over it." --- > A.
