On the September 2, 1980, episode of Dave's morning show, the last item of Small Town News concerned a Floyd Stiles from Collins, Missouri. Dave called him to get more details. By the end of the month, on September 30, Dave invited Floyd to attend the show. Floyd Stiles Day was thus celebrated on October 10, as Floyd and his wife Zola Mae sat on comfy chairs in the audience front row. Guests that morning included Edwin Newman, Ray Linnen, and special musical guest Rusty Draper. Plus Viewer Mail. Towards the end of the show, Dave invited Floyd outside on 6th Avenue to greet NYC pedestrians. The collection concludes with a clip from Late Night, August 28, 1985, showing make-up artist Candy Carell near the studio exit doors wearing the same Floyd Stiles t-shirt as she was seen walking towards Floyd on 6th Avenue five years earlier.
