Letterman Before The Beginning. 

13Jun1980: David Letterman starts dress rehearsals for his morning show w/Rich Hall, Valri Bromfield, Wil Shriner, Edie McClurg, etc. Final airdate: 24Oct1980. (Late Night then ran from 01Feb1982 to 25Jun1993, when Jay Leno knifed Dave in the back.) [tap to enlarge]

UPDATE: I was a Key Page (supervisory) for the audience on that show, and we had a lot of trouble finding enough people to fill the seats. But our biggest challenge was the homeless guy who came every day and sat in the same seat... and peed in it. The smell was horrendous. After a few weeks, nobody would sit next to him. What to do, what to do? Should we ban him, and lose a dedicated audience member, or should we let him stay and pee in the seat? What would YOU do? 😉
