Anton Interrupts New Gift Items on Letterman, March & November 1987

Anton had been with the band for a year, and it was time for him to finally speak up. That happened on March 31, 1987, during a segment of New Gift Items. Then-Head Writer Steve O'Donnell told me in 2000 that it was his idea for Anton to finally say something: "It was just a simple way to say 'Thanks.'"

With Writers Adam Resnick and Joe Toplyn, and the voice of Dave's assistant Laurie Diamond. Hiding behind the tables were crew members Francis Ulrich and John Casabona.

Anton then reprised his role as New Gift Items Interrupter the following November 25.
