He's the stage manager for the show, first name of Jeff (not sure about the
spelling). Back in the puppet era, he'd often perform with 'Gunter' - the
shirtless fellow in lederhosen - and Craig. Jeff and Gunter come out during
the in-studio portion of the open.

Thanks, David. Bone Patrol makes sense, but I didn't/wouldn't recognize them. I
did recognize the others, and especially laughed at the alien.
And I'd say I got between a third and a half of the folks in the video, just
because it's hard to pull so many out in real time. There were no real
surprises on the list.
One surprise is that Letterman didn't acknowledge the end of Ferguson's run on
his show, nor did Craig thank Dave and/or Worldwide Pants on his.

"Bone Patrol - they were the house band leading up to the 2013 Super Bowl. The
guys who composed the theme music for the show are part of this band. Steve
Jones of The Sex Pistols joined them on guitar.
After Secretariat came out, he was joined by:
Lisa and Tuyen who did hair and makeup for the show, and often danced with
Craig in the bumpers.
Jeff and Gunther, who joined Craig on many of his lip-synching numbers with
puppets.
The fellow in the white garb whirling the tube was an alien that visited Craig
early in the show's run and communicated by the sounds made from the tube."
and
"Dead Man Fall (who wrote Bang Your Drum) has a list of the celebrities from
the video portion of the open on its Twitter feed. It's not clear who gave
them the info. (Sales of the tune received Colbert Bump-style increases, as
you might imagine)
