ObDave: LNwDL, September 14, 1988: Dave (or the show) talked to the Miss America chairman regarding a plea (not yet sure from which side) for Carlson to guest on the show and also sit in with the band. As further enticement to get her on the show, Drew Carter, from NBC's Legal Department, said that he'd help her get into Harvard Law School. Then Dave simulated an interview with "Miss America" (Biff) as they discussed "Acceptable Questions and Unacceptable Questions for Miss America."
The following night, September 15, Gretchen Elizabeth Carlson, Miss America 1989, guested on LN for two home-base segments.
