This Dave in History October 18

10-18-1982: Dave has to start the show over due to some crazy guy who walked onstage with a briefcase. No, it wasn't The Conspiracy Guy.

10-18-1983: Cold Open: Dave and John Candy quarrel backstage over the night's billing, finally settling with fellow guest Fran Lebowitz. Meanwhile, stagehands repair Dave's desk.

10-18-1984: Viewer Mail: A viewer complains that the Opening Remarks aren't funny enough; it gives Dave another excuse to once again fire Old Henry.

10-18-1988: Mike Schmidt introduces each guest with his "Inside Pitch" pronouncements.

10-18-1988: Top Ten Ways Dukakis Can Close the Gap - 10. Appear taller and more in command by only taking questions from dwarf reporters.

10-18-1989: Top Ten Least Popular Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream Flavors - 10. Oprah Mocha; 8. Norieggnog.

10-18-1991: Clarence Thomas' Top Ten Favorite Movie Rentals - 4. "L.A. Raw."

10-18-1991: Dave's assistant "Rose" is featured in a remote called "A Day in the Life of Laurie Diamond."

10-18-1993: Gavin MacLeod Week begins as he appears in the audience for each Top Ten list.

10-18-1993: Let's Meet the Neighbors: to the bagel shop with Alexandra Mitsakis, where Dave orders bagels for the entire balcony audience. Upon their arrival, they're thrown (the bagels, not the balcony audience) from the stage.

10-18-1993: Top Ten Dan Quayle's Complaints About Clinton - 3. Didn't make 'Captain Stubing' the secretary of defense. (cut to a shot of audience member Gavin McLeod)

10-18-1995: Throughout a segment on Warning Labels, Tim Allen, Willie Nelson, Helen Hunt, Dan Rather, Wesley Snipes, Sonny Bono, Jeff Goldblum, Fran Drescher, and Terry Bradshaw tell Dave, "You suck."

10-18-1995: Top Ten Words That Sound Cool When Sung By An Opera Singer: 8. Groin pull.

10-18-1996: Composite rerun guests: George Clooney, Jim Carrey, and Bill Murray.

10-18-1996: Dave hosts the composite rerun ("new" bits were taped in Boston, Washington, Chicago, and Miami). George Clooney, Jim Carrey, and Bill Murray are the guests.

10-18-2000: Baseball Playoffs Quiz.

10-18-2000: Campaign 2000, sponsored by Firestone Exploding Tires. ("Put some excitement in your carpool. Firestone Exploding Tires: KABOOM. Now back to you, duckface.") Campaign 2000 has been off the air for a while (preempted by baseball?). GWB will be here tomorrow. The election is now in Dave's hands. Sponsors are Firestone Exploding Tires & the American Association of Motel Operators. ("Why not stay in a motel tonight?... Now back to you, you giant sack of manure.")

10-18-2000: Dave gives us Ball State info: in 1927, they became the Ball State Fighting Cardinals (through a newspaper contest to choose the new name); before that, they were the Hoosieroons. Rejected names in the contest: Ball State Ballplayers, Ball State Flying Crimson, Ball State Scrappin' Techers, and Ball Bullets. Dave says they can rename the stadium after him if they change the name back to the Hoosieroons.

10-18-2000: Fake clip from last night's debate: Jim Lehrer sits there with his face painted Yankee colors.

10-18-2000: Guest Joaquin Phoenix wears a grey suit with no tie and sneakers. He apparently attended a surprise birthday party and didn't realize the party was for him. He makes reference to James Caan's ring story from the other night but the studio audience doesn't get it; they didn't bother watching that show, apparently. (Was this a bunch of Leno fans who just happened to be in New York, wandering down Broadway?)

10-18-2000: Top Ten Cool Things About Having the World Series in New York - 6. Just think what this is doing to John Rocker. (This list was presented "live" in the theater by Giuliani.)
