Who looks better behind the desk? Of course we’re being facetious. David Letterman made us all want him to come back when he appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert this week. And Mike Chisholm of The Letterman Podcast will never tire talking about it!

Part 8 of Mike’s trip to New York: Videos from Steve Young’s place! Steve was nice enough to show some of the things he’s kept over the years from his time at Letterman. The next couple posts are videos showing a few of them. This first one is of The Joe Grossman flip book, which was a present he gave to the staff. One staff member, reportedly named Kathy, decided to be even more clever and de-face the book page by page. Note: This video was featured in a recent episode of the Letterman Podcast.
