This Dave in History for January 24

01-24-1984: Dave announces that the first guest on the show will be the first woman who gets out of the 6th-floor elevator. Instead, a security guy leaves, another guy goes in, two guys exit, a woman arrives but is disqualified because she was set up, three more guys, one guy fixing another elevator, and even more guys. Finally, as the minutes waste away, two woman exit; one is NBC page Laurie Guthrie, who later this year joins the Late Night staff and six years later poses as the model for Anton Fig's "Guess the Expiration Date."

01-24-1985: Late Night's latest controversy erupts after the world's fastest typist, Barbara Blackburn, types gibberish in a competition with Production Coordinator Barbara Gaines.
