" . . . . .and now, cagey botanist . . . .. David Letterman!

ACT 1
For my records: During the monologue, Dave pretends to be smoking and does some lip-flipping. It's an odd shot you may someday see in a future show.

On our show tonight, in addition to Mr. Bill Murray and Jay-Z, is Etch-A-Sketch artist George Vlosich. George is from Cleveland, Ohio and works as an art director for an advertising agency. George has been doing Etch-A-Sketch art for 18 years now and can sell his sketches for $10,000 and more. Tonight, for much less than $10,000, George will be doing a sketch of our own Biff Henderson. This continues a long line of Biff Henderson portraits performed on the show. These include:
-a tattoo on a kid's leg
-ice sculpture
-legos
-dominoes
-cheese
-post-it notes
-bubble gum
-ketchup
-chalk on the sidewalk
-sand.

How long does it take to do an Etch-A-Sketch portrait? George says it can take up to 70-80 hours, but tonight he'll try to do it during the show. Dave says he'll need to hurry because tonight's show is only 50 hours.
George gets the go-ahead to start as we peek in. We'll check in throughout the show. To see more of George's work, check out his website:

As Dave prepares to go on to something else, he is interrupted by a CBS News Update.
Announce:

"And now, a CBS Breaking News Election Update. We see a graphic of the Democratic candidates expected in the New Hampshire Primary. Each has 0% of the vote.
"With 0% precincts reporting, CBS is not prepared to project a winner for the crucial New Hampshire Democratic primary.
This has been a CBS Breaking News Update."

"The Department of Transportation would like to remind all Americans to set their clocks back one hour this weekend. That's right, you get back that hour you're wasting watching this.
A message from the Department of Transportation."
