Since Letterman, the new "Mr. Wilson" of talk show hosts, wants to be more topical, I have some ideas for future monologues or "Top Ten Lists:"
- The sexual assault charges against Barack Obama's half brother in Britain.
- Ashley Biden's cocaine use caught on tape.
- David Letterman knocking up his own girlfriend and then not marrying her for six years.

IIRC, that whole bit was to promote a movie Glover hadn't even made yet. And got around to it five years later.
I saw that show when it first aired and it was rivaled in entertainment value only by the Kaufman wrestling episode. A few weeks later I was at a SciFi convention were Billy Mumy (of Lost in Space) appeared. He talked about some comic book project he was doing with Glover. So, during the Q and A time I asked Mumy about the Letterman incident. He played dumb and couldn't really account for Glover's actions. I only recently read that Glover claims it to have been a "performance art" put on. In fact, he's still sorta vague about it so I'm honestly not sure either way. That just adds to the to the fun I suppose.
