David Letterman, like Heenan, was known a lot for his quick and cutting wit, and some might say that he may have gotten some of his style from The Brain. As it turns out, a young Letterman was quite taken with pro wrestling, and would often go to shows where Bobby Heenan from Beverly Hills would antagonize the local babyfaces like Dick the Bruiser. The video below shows Letterman talking about going to those Indianapolis shows in his youth with one Bob Costas.
