Did You Know?
| Trivia | Many, including rival talk show host Jay Leno, whom NBC chose over David Letterman as Johnny Carson's The Tonight Show (1962) successor in a bitter competition between the two, saw Carson's Late Show with David Letterman (1993) cameo appearance as a signal that Carson preferred Letterman over Jay.

David Letterman: Welcome to Mc Donald's. Customer: Get me a cheeseburger. David Letterman: Your order is a cheeseburger? Customer: Yep. David Letterman: Are you busy right now? Customer: I gotta head to work. Why? David Letterman: Could you swing by the grocery store and get us a bag of onions? Customer: A bag of onions? David Letterman: Yeah. We're running low. [Later, David takes new customer] David Letterman: United 16957, 727. This is Kennedy Ground Control. What's the problem? Power it on in. Customer: I have your onions here. David Letterman: What?
