In 1987 Gerard Mulligan succeeded Paul Andor in the role as hapless staffer that Dave would fire. There were six dismissals:
1. February 19, 1987 - fired for hair
2. February 26, 1987 - fired for changing opening segment
3. April 9, 1987 - fired for tightening phone mouthpiece
4. April 30, 1987 - fired for cutting hair
5. May 21, 1987 - fired for bringing show to Las Vegas
6. November 13, 1987 - fired for moving back and forth

Great stuff! There was one time Dave fired Sid, from the band, so Sid got a job in NBC's mail room and worked his way up to head of the network, then fired Dave :)

Casinobird Channel I miss EDGY Dave too! It's like he went to CBS and Dave (& his insecurities) felt he had to put on his big boy pants. Despite THE FACT Leno never put on his :..( I'll always 💗 him but he did WAYYYYYYY less with going to other cites. Had the audiences FLOWN to him😳😳😳 for almost the last two decades like he suddenly couldn't AFFORD to spend a week wherever... etc

Darkman you're so very right. I work as a janitor and the people I have to deal with. Sometimes rude and stupid. But when I watch these old clips about Gerry and old poor Henry getting fired by that heartless Dave makes it much,much better. I really do miss Late Night and Dave.

Ah, I hope you're getting paid for this. If not, may you be deified. Not one, not two, but SEVERAL brilliant bits where Gerard Mulligan gets fired by that heartless, cold blooded, Nurse Ratched of a boss that is David Letterman. P.S. I just spotted the thumbnail for a video you posted titled, "Brother Theodore Complete 1982-1989"; and I am going to round up the pizza, popcorn, and beer hoping that I will sweat even more like a chunk of rancid pork upon, during, and after viewing. May you be sainted, knighted, and given a big, fat, fancy award for being a nice guy.

If and when I get the "cash", Mr. Giller, I shall send it to you forthright in a big and overstuffed, shiny and glistening manila envelope of the utmost quality. And I mean that from the bottom of my temporarily poor-as-a-church mouse heart. On another note, I'm sure that my food will prove to be an indigestible prop since Brother Theodore's antics will cause me to blow many chunks over the course of his 3 hours and ten minutes plus marathon.
