On 'Late Show' (weeknights, 11:35Pm on CBS), we got to see a moment from the past. But this moment also provided a glimpse of the future 'Late Night' wars.
David Letterman's guest was his pal Tom Dreesen. Tom is a comedian who helped Dave out -- back when Letterman was just a 20-something, struggling stand-up comic. Tom got his friend a job on a never-aired NBC game show called 'Word Grabbers,' shot all the way back in 1976.
The young Letterman was hired to play a "celebrity" panel member, even though no one really knew who he was. ... And now, thrill to the sight of a mid-1970s David Letterman: complete with sideburns and an ugly, 'Saturday Night Fever'-style polyester shirt!
