  Megan was Letterman’s perfect guest. She did whatever he asked without much hesitation, she answered questions with direct short answers, she never tried to grab the conversation or the spotlight, she stayed back but came forward when needed. She let Dave be Dave. Perfect!!

  The show was incredibly lucky to happen to call Meg out of all the offices in her building.  She was wonderful and always seemed fun to talk to.

  I took Meg's job after she left Pocket Books. Crazy coincidence. The Donnas and Penny told me the whole story.

  What a stroke of luck to get the sweetest woman in the United States of America

  An hour and a half of this held my attention better than any movie made in the last few years.

  I am 43 and live in Melbourne Australia. The Late Show with David Letterman made me want to move to New York and be part of the culture. Meg, I feel, represents the best of it. I was so sad and angry when 911 happened. These clips are an archive of the 'Golden Age' that we must all treasure.

  Finding someone as charming as she is was like winning the lottery on that first call.  What a great bit this was, and part of the hilarity is Dave dialing the phone himself.  This is such prime Dave.  Thanks for all the work putting these together.

  Remember when we had 3 channels and late night was this good?

  This is what I loved about Dave's early years. He was always doing crazy, off the cuff things. Simon and Schuster must have loved the publicity.

  I always liked how Meg waved by opening and closing her hand. It’s endearing.

  This is the kind of stuff that brought Late Night above and beyond anything before it, and ensured the longevity.

  Totally remember watching Meg's segments on Late Night, I was just starting high school, and my mom had finally allowed me to stay up past 10pm on school nights so I could watch Carson and Letterman. They were the absolute peak of talk shows.
