Was he the guy that did some skits on Saturday Night Live in the 70's? I remember "Toast on a Stick" and he looks like the guy.

i'm pretty sure that the 'toast on a stick' ads were part of the letterman show (which was also on nbc)... but that was him. here's a link to larry bud melman's classic intro to the first leterman show: YouTube - FIRST EVER EPISODE of "Late Night with David Letterman"
