This Dave in History for January 5

01-05-1979: Dave makes his second appearance as a guest on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson.

01-05-1983: "You Asked to Hear It Described" has audience members requesting events they'd like to see again. The first one up tonight is a request for Claus Van Bulow's reaction after his not-guilty verdict. All of the band members re-enact the look, with Steve Jordan's coming the closest. Later, Siskel and Ebert play basketball.

01-05-1984: Viewer Mail: Elizabeth Field writes Dave explaining how she wanted to be in "Brush with Greatness" (she once sat on Pavoratti's lap) but was turned down. So Dave calls the producer of "Brush with Greatness," Old Henry, and asks why he hadn't selected Elizabeth. Shaking, Henry (Paul Andor) explains that he has selected participants for 29 years and he has one year left before his pension. He had been mugged after returning from the clinic, and, with no glasses with which to see and hands that were trembling, was unable to write down the contestants' stories. After hearing this tale, Dave fires Old Henry. Shocked, Henry walks away dejectedly as the audience boos their displeasure with Dave.
