Episode recap

The Late Show with David Letterman is an American late-night talk show hosted by David Letterman, featuring mature humor and music from a house band. The series has been broadcast since its inception on August 30, 1993, and is classified as a talk and comedy program.

In this episode, Bruce Willis appears live via satellite in Idaho from the set of his upcoming film, Breakfast of Champions. Throughout the night, Willis is inside a television monitor that undergoes a series of extreme stunts. The monitor is first shown bungee jumping off the roof, after which it gets dropped onto glass. The physical trials continue as the monitor is placed into a bathtub of pudding, and the segment concludes when the television monitor gets smashed from six stories onto the street.

Later in the program, journalist Tom Brokaw appears as a guest for an interview. During the segment, Brokaw becomes annoyed by host David Letterman and, in the middle of the interview, walks right back to 30 Rockefeller Center.

The program is documented as part of the Late Show with David Letterman series catalog on The Movie Database and Wikipedia, reflecting its standard format of celebrity guests, remote satellite appearances, and comedic physical bits orchestrated by the production.
