Season 10

Dave opens up with talk of the NBC affiliates' convention, at which it was agreed that all late-night programs would begin Monday through Friday at 11:35 P.M. starting the next season. All that affiliates' talk was lost, of course, with Johnny Carson's late cameo.

Billy Crystal shares stories of his family and his new movie City Slickers. Dave tries to take his nephew on a tour of New York, but he spends the day with top models.

In a taped ""Staff Talent Show,"" Assistant Producer Barbara Gaines eats an entire Carvel cake.

Don Novello of ""SNL"" fame promotes his new one-man show off-broadway; Dave welcomes the recently reunited Procol Harum.

Included: ""A Day in the Life of Laurie Diamond,"" showing Laurie's many (bogus) responsibilities as Dave's assistant: getting him breakfast (a bucket of soft-serve ice cream); signing for daily fudge deliveries; helping Dave with his ""Golden Girls"" scrapbook; helping him get his hand unstuck from a cashew jar; finding his shoes; avoiding his ""mom;"" playing a prank on Willard Scott; answering his fan mail.
