Imagine that: Garr and Letterman in early ‘80. They go back further than I’d realized.
Even earlier. She appeared on three Tonight Shows that Dave had guest-hosted: December 5, 1979, December 4, 1980, and June 4, 1981. I have the last two but won’t be able to share them (Carson watermark).

Wow. Given those airdates, kudos to the Chi-Tri editor for choosing a then one-off photo with the person who would become perhaps DL’s most iconic foil. (Does the guy also write for The Simpsons, or what?) You’ve seen prehistoric Dave & Teris, then! Was their chemistry abloom?

I’ll need to watch them again, but I remember that they had this “why am I, a budding film star, lowering myself with this upstart Carson-succeeding wannabe?” And Dave putting a check on possibly offending her further.
