He switched to a more modern mic when he switched networks. I, for one, was disappointed.
...and you stopped caring mid-way through the title.

I don't have any other esoteric David Letterman microphone facts, but another esoteric David Letterman fact is that he was a C student at Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana and has established a scholarship there for incoming students with no grade requirement attached to it beyond being able to have a high enough grade to attend the university in the first place.
He also donated the university's current communications building.
And a third esoteric David Letterman fact is that he used to be a weatherman on WTHR in Indianapolis before he hit the big time.
No, I am not a David Letterman super fan. I just picked up these facts for some reason. Although being born and raised in Indiana (and currently living there again) helps.
Personally, I can't think of a single moment from David Letterman's entire talk show history that tops his cameo in Cabin Boy.
This was my favorite Letterman moment. When Drew Barrymore flashed him for his birthday.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

I bet he was the best weather man.
