    According to Rosemary Lennon's biography of Letterman, a writer who tested the suit (without oxygen) during rehearsal passed out.

    They should do that NOW, but with a Mentos suit, and being lowered into a tank of Diet Coke.

    Yep. It was funny and very innovative. Much better than the late night tv you have now. Do yourself a favor and watch as much Letterman from NBC as you can find. If you end up not digging it, I sincerely feel sorry for you.

    Good thing Dave had that oxygen source at the ready with all that carbon dioxide.  Classic Dave from the good old 80s.
