![]() I remember this in real time and it was hysterical. Letterman's humor is my sense of humor which is why few get me around here. But I found this clip of the multiple days of Letterman beating a dead horse about Stevie Nicks and trying to get her on his show. Someone pieced together all the clips in the ongoing saga. Frontline Managment gave Dave such great material with their idiotic letter he read on the air. Then when he made fun of them they sent another letter denying they ever sent the first letter. Then 10 years later she finally appeared on the show and blamed her silly management.
If you never saw all the clips before, here they are. This was a continued saga all through February 1986. I think her management was terrified of their own client and realized she could never do that show in her state. Timestamp: Its February 1986. Stevie's album already has 2 singles released from it with little or no promo. Instead of rehearsing with her band for the upcoming tour, she is partying her brains out with Tom in Australia. She found out from her doctor that she could die from doing cocaine. Her management forced her to go to rehab later that year. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=abH6X_8ltEM

Dave particularly liked to run clips of her from I Can't Wait (her single at the time) but *specifically* he liked to run the clip where she leans to the side and dances and her bosoms are very visible and bouncy. He ran it sooooo many times.... JUST that bit...... ![]()

That said, he became a BITTER old man on CBS. Bitter isn't funny. I stopped watching but love his early years.

![]() Nah. If anything he was being a troll to her management at that point. Dave said he was a big Stevie fan. He tried a way to get her on his show and stated he sat around all weekend waiting to see her new video. Once that ridiculous letter showed up with ridiculous questions like why he would want her on his talk show and to cease talking about her, the troll was on. Gee, she has a new album, how about a little promotion on a huge TV talk show. Her management was crazy. If you tuned in on day 5 then yes someone could think he was poking fun at her. But the bit in its entirety is classic Dave. It would have been a one or two night bit and forgotten about if not for the absurd response for trying to get her on his show.
