Storyline
After several guest hosting appearances on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, Dave was given his own morning talk-show. This show included a full orchestra, news breaks, and a cast of regulars. Although not long-run, it introduced Dave to the general public on a wide scale and in a way was the test run for his wildly popular Late Night with David Letterman, which ran on NBC for years, later followed by The Late Show with David Letterman on CBS.

Trivia
The original hire for the show's producer was
Bob Stewart, the veteran quiz-show creator who had enlisted Letterman as a panelist on
The (New) $25,000 Pyramid from 1978 onward. However, due to creative differences, Stewart left the show four days before its premiere.

Does anyone know of any collectors who may have any of these old David Letterman Morning shows from 1980 in their collection? I would love to obtain any and all and would even be willing to transfer to DVD at no cost to the owner if interested.
This was by far the funniest show on TV up to 1980, though it didn't find an audience at that time slot. I was in college and watched faithfully everyday and was so blown away by content and the deadpan deliveries.
It is a shame, given that it was on TV only a few months that these didn't make it to DVD commercially.
