Letterman Gets Sirius

Howard Stern was on Letterman last night promoting his new venture with

At one point in the interview Dave cut Howard off to ask him if he knew
what Sirius meant? Howard sort of danced around the question, but Dave
identified Sirius as the brightest visible star after our sun.

Is Dave a closet astrogeek? Did Johnny pass on his 'scope?

Sirius minds want to know.


John--Do you remember any of the 23 times that Johnny had Carl Sagan
on the Tonight Show?

I do recall at least a few of his appearances, Sam, although I can't
recall anything specific per se. Although I do have a vague notion of
seeing him not long before his untimely passing. He was painfully thin
and frail looking.

Was he really on 23x?

What a media whore.

Kidding!

Carl Sagan, author, teacher, advocate, enthusiast and scientist is in
my personal pantheon of great minds.


The twenty three appearances were spread over twenty years... and, like you,
I don't remember any specifics, but I remember my mom being impressed by
Carl's vision and excitement in earlier years.

Hey, Pop, are they talking about my Uncle Carl?

Does this have anything to do with what Mom calls her husband's animalry?

I understand Dave to have been a meteorologist in his previous career. Don't
most of them know something about stars?

He "did the weather" on an Indiana tv station. TV meteorologists/weather
guys here in Tucson know just enough to be dangerous. Translation: just
about every time they announce an astronomical event, they get some part of
it wrong.

At the very least, I'll bet it was entertaining. g

I remember seeing one little clip where he noticed a missing line
between two states on a map and turned that into a commentary on how
the states had apparently joined and made a new one. Kinda funny in a
brief way.

Back in the late sixties Dave was the weatherman for channel 13 WISH in
Indianapolis IN while he was in college. As soon as he graduated he
bailed out for Hollywood.
