I was even in the studio audience for the Hanks episode Monday night, and it still hadn't quite hit me.

I'd trade both for yours!

The Tom Hanks appearance brought me back to 1993 - Dave's last NBC show - and Tom was the guest. He told a great story about being Slappy White's caddy before being famous. Slappy complained that Tom was jamming his golf clubs into his car trunk. According to Tom, Slappy was yelling at him, "Stop bending the shafts!!"

Legendary line.

That episode also the cool surprise of Bruce Springsteen showing up for the first time.

The band never looked happier than they did tearing through Glory Days with him.

...after last night, I'm not sure that will happen (especially after his interview with Jane Pauley last week - he said he'd never set foot in the EST again - even for Stephen???? )
