" . . . and now, inventor of the lawn dart . . . . . David Letterman!"

ACT 1:
MONOLOGUE

- "Got a cute Father's Day gift from my son last year; a monogrammed Medic Alert bracelet."

If you're seeing Dave, you got through the digital TV transition okay. But the government has more changes planned. We take a look.
Announce: "This final transition to digital television has taken place with minimal disruption. Further digital upgrades are coming. Be aware that as of August 1st, you will need a digital converter box for your telegraph key. The digital telegraph revolution means greater reliability, more interactivity, and futuristic-sounding beeps. To make sure you can still send word of railway accidents and stagecoach robberies, telegraph the Federal Telegraph Bureau for your converter box coupon today!

Here in New York City, Broadway has been closed to traffic and turned into a pedestrian plaza. And that's not the only exciting changes in the works. We take a look at what other changes are planned.
Announce: "Mayor Bloomberg's plant to close Broadway to traffic has been a rousing success, replacing noisy, congested traffic with lawn furniture and parking spaces. So keep an eye out for more improvements in the near future, as we convert the city's bridges into dog runs, the subway tracks into public swimming pools, and the Lincoln Tunnel into the world's largest Outback Steakhouse. New York City: Going down the toilet in style."

ACT 2:
Back from commercial, we find Dave in the audience giving away money and free dinner certificates to a guy from the Niagara Falls' City Police Department. The guy gives Dave a nifty PD hat.

Mayor Bloomberger has decided close Broadway to all traffic. To explain his decision, we have the Mayor standing by on the phone. Dave picks up the phone.
DAVE: "Good evening, Mayor Bloomberg. Thank you for speaking with us tonight."
MAYOR: "My pleasure, Greaseman. And here's a shout-out to all you listeners in the Windy City."
DAVE: "That's Chicago, Mr. Mayor. We're here in New . . .
MAYOR: "I'm glad you asked, Greaseman. The closing of Broadway has been an overwhelming success, finally solving the city's crisis of where to store our surplus of chairs. And have you tried our nude yoga park at 49th and Broadway?"
DAVE: "I wasn't aware there was a . . . ." CLICK. DIAL TONE.
