After attending Ball State University, in Muncie, Indiana, Letterman began work as a local weekend television Weather announcer and radio talk show host. He received local recognition for his unpredictable on-air behavior, which included erasing state borders from the weather map and predictin hail stones "the size of canned hams".

His own David Letterman Show debuted in 1980, but it was aired weekday mornings, opposite game shows and soap operas. Wacko actress Edie McClurg was a regular, and the show was humorous, but housewives didn't seem to get the jokes, so the show was cancelled after just a few months. It was nominated for five Emmys, and won two -- one for writing and one for the host.
