Black coat, white shoes, black hat, Cadillac
So I just wrote Dave Letterman's CBS Mailbag for the first time ever. Inquiring minds wanna know... What gives with the dark suits, dark loafers, and (always) white socks? These are the little things that keep me awake at night.



Hey boy take a look at me...let me dirty up your mind...



It's quite easy to explain actually...

1. Because pastel colored suits are so Miami Vice
2. Because unlike most people he doesn't wear the suit to work. He gets it from wardrobe when he gets to work but it doesn't include underware and socks. So since he doesnt know what color the suit is going to be that day he just wears white socks. It would be a major faux pas to be wearing blue socks with a brown suit on the show and even worse of he was seen wearing dark socks with his white Nike's and shorts on the way to the show.

Does't it all make sense now?

He makes that many million a year and doesn't have a sock drawer in wardrobe at work? ;-)

Good luck. We sent him a picture of a monkey on a rock a few years back and nada. :)

I guess you never watched his old show.

Of course I watched his old show -- I've watched Letterman since I was a child. But that doesn't mean I can't ask stupid questions. ;-p
