David Letterman on MORK & MINDY

Before he found his calling as a snarky, late-night talk show host, David Letterman spent the '70s trying to find his place in Hollywood. When he wasn't hosting failing morning shows or doing weather reports he scored a few TV guest-starring gigs, mostly playing sarcastic, sleazy jerks. In this clip you'll see his appearance in Mork Goes Erk, a first season episode of the Robin Williams sci-fi comedy series Mork & Mindy. Letterman plays Ellsworth, a cynical con-man who runs a bogus self-improvement program loosely based on EST. The real EST seminars apparently involved an instructor insulting people for hours on end, just like Letterman does here.
