Dave Letterman Calls Mom But Reaches Sid Tuchman Summer 1990
On July 31, 1990, Dave Letterman called my dad by mistake when he was trying to call his mom in Indianapolis. I can assure you, this was a complete ad lib by Letterman. He woke my dad up from his daily 4PM afternoon nap (they were taping the show in the afternoon in New York). The reason his mom knew Sid, was that Sid had 40 dry cleaning stores around Indianapolis called "Tuchman Cleaners." Everyone in town knows him! Letterman was right... the lawyers did call my dad the following day. But there was no way Sid was going to sue Dave. By the same token, I hope the network doesn't threaten to sue me for putting this video up for the public as one of the funniest Letterman bits ever!
