General events on January 9th

In 1998, MERMAID HEAD FOUND Three days after it was sawed off, the head of Copenhagen's famed Little Mermaid statue was returned Friday by a hooded man who dropped it off at a TV station. The drop-off was filmed by the same freelance cameraman who got a call before dawn Tuesday to come to a harborside park to see what had been done to the statue. His footage, aired on TV2, shows a man in a black, wool hood walking toward the building of rival TvDanmark today, putting the bronze head on the ground and disappearing behind a parked car. No arrests have been made.

In an attempt to disprove the board's verdict, they reenact the shipwreck themselves, only to find out that the cause appears to be Gilligan's ineptness. Later, a radio update reports that the Board of Inquiry has cleared the Skipper of the charges, as the Weather Service mistakenly read the wrong forecast that morning causing the crew to be unaware of the impending storms.

Public television station WGBH invites kids all over the nation to help provide material for a television series making its debut that's "for kids and by kids" just by sending their ideas to ZOOM. "That's Zoom, zee double-oh em, box three five oh, Boston Mass, Oh-Two-One-Three-Four." If selected among the vast pool of submissions from the alarmingly cheap (unpaid) child labor, your suggestions, craft ideas, and jokes will be performed by Zoomers (original cast Tommy, Nina, Joe, John, Nancy, Kenny, Tracy), then gradually replaced by Maura, David, Ann, Jay, Edith, Luiz, Bernadette, Danny, Lori, Mike, Hector, etc. etc. etc.

In 2000, "Malcolm in the Middle" TV sitcom premiered on Fox

This Dave in History (David Letterman)

In 1985, Riding Mower Giveaway: Dave awards a lawn mower to a randomly-selected phone call to Tina Schultz in Battle Creek, Michigan.
In 1986, Martin Short's inspiration for "Irving Cohen," Irving Caesar, appears on the show again, his first since Late Night's first week on the air four years earlier. He mentions that the original lyrics to his "Tea for Two" were "Ike and Mike, they looked alike, they owned a bike...."
In 1987, Paul co-hosts Friday Night Videos with Jay Leno.
In 1989, Tonight's show is a rerun, and not in deference to the debut of "The Pat Sajak Show" on CBS.
In 1990, To welcome the new year, the World's Most Dangerous Band is dressed like Dave in matching suits. Tomorrow, they'll be dressed as Paul (shades, same shirts, pants), and Thursday, as Paul Revere and the Raiders.
In 1991, Dave calls Meg Parsont at Simon & Schuster and wants her office painted. Later, Dave interviews himself as a second Dave appears on the set.
In 1992, Robert Kearns fascinates both Dave and his viewers with a demonstration of his patented variable-speed windshield wiper.
In 1995, Another in the long line of fascinating games foisted upon the world by the Late Show debuts - "Would you like to eat that in here?"
In 1995, Dave promotes the debut of "The Late Late Show with Tom Snyder" by showing clips of "Tom" sweating like a pig.
In 1995, Top Ten Things Overheard at Graceland on Elvis' 60th Birthday - 10. It's incredible -- he's actually gained weight since he died!
In 1996, Audience members do "Brush with Blizzard of '96": (1) guy throws snowballs at cars; (2) woman's dog lost in snow; (3) worker hit with snow indoors (roof collapses). Each of the three gets gifts from Mujibur.
In 1996, Kids Tell Jokes, and then make a snowman. Also, Norm MacDonald is bumped again.
In 1996, The day after El Blizzardo, Dave arrives at the theater pulled by a dog sled.
In 1996, Top Ten Doorman Pet Peeves During The Blizzard (read by actual NYC doormen) - 5. Frozen knobs.
In 1997, Dave gives an audience woman a hug and a canned ham for her birthday. Dave also snorts from his throat. He also sends an audience woman outside to check if it's snowing--we get to see the snow. Also, Dave throws snowballs at Anton and Inky, who rips up the cue cards.
In 1997, Guests: Matt Dillon hits Anton's cymbal with a snowball on the first try, while Rebecca Romijn is apparently remotely related (by marriage) to Dave.
In 1997, Top Ten Signs It's Cold and Flu Season in New York - 8. To many feverish audience members, "Cats" is actually entertaining.
In 1998, CBS Mailbag: (1) celebrities are "wacked" by the Late Show garage door? (2) Biff + lobster (see above); (3) Dave signs autographs after the show (trying to be like Jerry Springer?); (4) an audience guy is disciplined--torn apart by cabs.
In 1998, CBS Mailbag: Chris Schmitt asks why Biff has a scowl on his face. Biff comes onstage as a lobster is hooked on his ass. Later, Dave explains the formula for comedy success: "Lobster + Ass = Funny!"
In 1998, Paul Simon promotes the musical "the Capeman". (just kidding) The actual guests (Penelope Ann Miller and Terry Pledger, the latter of whom won $1 million at the Orange Bowl with a 10-yard football throw) enter from the audience's right one last day. Also, Leon sits in for Paul one last day.
In 1998, Top Ten Questions Clinton will be asked at his sexual harassment deposition - 1. Did somebody say McDonald's?
In 2001, A fake clip shows Clinton moving into his Midtown office in Flash Dancers.
In 2001, Alan Kalter says he worked in Secretary of Labor nominee Linda Chavez's house in the 1980's. He was "pool maintenance" guy, but it became more than that....
In 2001, Beat the Clock 2001 is no longer at Joe G's, because they're closed. Dave explains that landlords on his block are jacking up the rent. So they play in K&L's Rock America. Mujibur and Sirajul may lose their jobs? They play, not saying anything for the 30 seconds.
In 2001, Clinton Classic Joke is about President Clinton's approval rating concerning the job he is doing and the job he is getting. Right after the joke, some other old guy instead of Calvert wanders out (with grey hair, glasses).
In 2001, Dave is annoyed that one of his suit jacket buttonholes is sewn shut. (Is it the work of high school kids?) Paul gets scissors and cuts it open for him.
In 2001, Dave's family is in the theater (or is it Joe Lieberman)?
