- David Letterman ([error]) talks about punk rock surfers and air travel; Loudon Wainwright III performs; Omni magazine puzzles editor Scot Morris. Also: A look at preparations for the upcoming Olympics in Los Angeles.
- Johnny jokingly presents a shapely model who he suggests might replace Ed, and lets the audience vote. He comments on how proud he is of David Letterman, noting that he got his first major attention on the show; Letterman then mentions the first national TV show he was on - a 1978 variety show starring Mary Tyler Moore that lasted three weeks, with a cast including Michael Keaton, Dick Shawn and Swoosie Kurtz. He then talks about a member of a band called the Surf Punks who approached him near his beach house, asking him to listen to their record; when he told the man to forward it to his manager, he nonchalantly responded that the band knew where his house was and would drop it off. Letterman also jokes about flying, his preference for earthquakes over New York muggings, Geraldine Ferraro running for vice president, and taking the Metro-North train into NYC. He shows a clip from the "Late Night" salute to Velcro. Loudon Wainwright performs. The comedy segment is Ed's interview with an official from the L.A. Olympics, played by Johnny. (The Olympics are two weeks away.) He tries to speed through the bit's strained humor; at one point, he pokes fun at the actor playing a police officer for adding an unscripted remark. Scot Morris is the games editor for Omni Magazine. He shows various puzzles, odd items sent by readers, and optical illusions.—lenab9011
