Trump's first guest appearance on Late Night was taped fourteen months later on December 2, 1987, and aired on December 22. He came on to promote his book he didn't write, _Art of the Deal_. It being the run-up to the 1988 campaign, Dave asked if he were interested in running for the presidency. The story behind his feud with NYC mayor Ed Koch was uploaded here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tych7...
Jimmy "The Greek" Snyder then guested on December 18 and discussed the prospects of a possible Trump campaign. (Snyder would be fired from CBS a month later.)

Simpler times...
Ha! Such charisma. Trump, that is.
I used to like David Letterman before he became a total left wing nutjob.
(Or he probably always was and hid it for awhile.)
Interesting choice of background music in the NYC visitors segment early on, a string arrangement of “Love Letters Straight from Your Heart”.
Boy....His son looks just like him.
“He was shoving people out of their homes. We watch 60 minutes.”
Something in the water in show business...affects 95% of people to turn loony lefty.
Yep. He used to be a talented comedian. But W’s presidency zapped him of all his talent and he became nothing but a leftist shill...
Then he moved to Montana and grew that horrible white beard that made him look like a demented Santa Claus. And exposed such a mean personality.
He looks like a creepy old pervert.
just can’t listen to letterman
At 0:34 earliest sighting of a MAGA hat.
I’ve never been a fan. I enjoyed Leno, but Johnny Carson was the best. Very funny but never mean. IIRC he poked fun at everyone equally.
I enjoy Dennis Miller. My favorite line from him: Nancy Pelosi is crazy. She’s so bat**** crazy she sleeps hanging upside down! I think about that just about every time I see her picture!
Letterman was just as big an a$$ 33 years ago as he is today.
Letterman should have stayed with the weatherman job. He was halfways good at it.
Thanks, great interview. He sounds the same now as he did then. I guess he was destined to be President.
