Jay Thomas has just completed his decades long stint of knocking the meatball off Letterman's Christmas tree with a football. For those not familiar, Vinnie was a guest on Letterman's Christmas show and was trying to throw a ball at the meatball tree topper but kept missing. Thomas, who had been a guest earlier in the show, came back out and nailed it with the first throw he made and tells the story of Testaverde's wife sneering at Thomas's kid when he celebrated his father accomplishing the feat the QB couldn't. And then there's the Lone Ranger story and Darlene Love! Merry Christmas, everybody!
I never cared much for Letterman, preferred Carson, but my ex thought he was funny at times...like in 1983.
He told that story every year?! I thought it was only that time I saw him. God. If only Ferguson had taken over the show I might have watched it.
