"Know Your Staff" Collection on Letterman, 1982-84

Featuring Hope Vinitsky, Jimmy Fitzgerald, Steve O'Donnell, Chris Elliott, George Meyer, Rick Scheckman, Robert Morton, Bill Wendell, Hal Gurnee, Merrill Markoe, and Steve Khan.

The concept of introducing Late Night's staff members began with three pre-taped productions called "The People Behind Late Night," all included here:

1. September 22, 1982: Hope Vinitsky*
2. October 13, 1982: Jimmy Fitzgerald
3. January 7, 1983: Steve O'Donnell**

The idea then morphed into eight "Know Your Staff" segments consisting of homebase chats with Dave (with Hal Gurnee & Bert the exception):

4. February 10, 1983: Chris Elliott***
5. February 21, 1983: George Meyer
6. May 23, 1983: Rick Scheckman
7. June 22, 1983: Robert Morton
8. August 16, 1983: Bill Wendell
9. September 12, 1983; Hal Gurnee & Bert****
10. September 27, 1983: Merrill Markoe (with a special cameo by Ed McMahon)
11. May 3, 1984: Steve Khan*****

Note: Steve Khan was never an official member of the Late Night band. For the first two years he had subbed in Hiram's absence and, during the Spring of 1984, was filling in after Hiram had left the show before Paul had begun auditioning players for the permanent guitar position.
