Hi, this is a message for Harvey Pekar.
1:05:11
From the streets of Cleveland,
ladies and gentlemen, please welcome...
1:05:14
the one, the only Harvey Pekar.
Harvey, come on out, buddy.
1:05:21
It became clear pretty fast that
I was invited on the show just for laughs.
1:05:25
You look like a lot of guys
you see sleeping on buses.
1:05:29
- Sorry.
- It's all right, Dave, have a good time.
1:05:32
- I know, we're doing what we can.
- It's your world. I'm just living in it.
1:05:39
But what the hell did I care?
1:05:42
Letterman was an okay guy.
Let him take potshots at me.
1:05:45
So long as I got paid
and got to plug my comics.
1:05:47
I think to myself, you look like every
police artist sketch I've ever seen.
1:05:53
Funny thing is...
1:05:54
something about me and Letterman
clicked for the viewers.
1:05:57
He kept wanting me back.
1:05:58
- It was about a year ago, this month...
- That's right.
1:06:01
No, last month.
1:06:02
A year ago, last month, you made
your first appearance on the show.
1:06:05
- What has happened to you since?
- Not much, David.
1:06:09
It's slow going. I still have the same job.
1:06:11
But see, Harvey, you're the embodiment
of the American Dream.
1:06:16
And it wasn't just me
getting all the attention.
1:06:18
Action.
1:06:22
Are these free?
1:06:24
As a result of my appearances
on Letterman...
1:06:27
my buddy Toby Radloff,
landed a gig extolling the virtues of MTV.
1:06:35
Watch where you're going.
1:06:37
- All right, you fucking yuppie freak.
- Who the fuck is this on my set?
1:06:45
Look at this, the man of the hour.
1:06:50
This is my new do for the MTV generation.
1:06:58
We came upon Toby Radloff
while doing a story in Cleveland last year...
