David Letterman looks at potentially fun things to do, such as going to a video arcade, visiting a wax museum, fishing in the Los Angeles River, and hiring a clown to perform at home.

I've been looking for this special for years. He did it between the morning show and Late Night.

I never saw that. I didn't have HBO back then.

(I did have Showtime. All the cool kids were watching It's Garry Shandling's Show)
