Pfeiffer scores rare one-on-one talk with reclusive Letterman


It looks like local KRTV meteorologist Fred Pfeiffer appears to have
some show biz connections.

On March 30, Pfeiffer's interview with late night talk show host and
part-time Montana resident David Letterman will air.

"I was on his show seven years ago on his 'Top Ten' list," Pfeiffer
said.

After appearing on the show under the "Top Ten List of Things You Hope
You Never Hear from your Weatherman," Pfeiffer said he wrote to
Letterman and asked if he could do an interview with the comedian.

In the meantime, Pfeiffer said Letterman continued to spend time at
his Choteau ranch and often caught the KRTV broadcast. Pfeiffer
continued to seek an interview.

"He's hard to get an interview with," he said.

But finally, after seven years, Pfeiffer and his wife flew to New York
and had a 30-minute sit-down interview with Letterman last week.

Pfeiffer said they talked about Letterman's career, his love for
Montana and the Rocky Mountain Front and the time a bear broke into
his cabin, among other things.

"He was a very, very nice man. He was very likable," Pfeiffer said.
"He reads the Great Falls Tribune, by the way. And he told me I am his
Montana weatherman."

The interview will air at 9 a.m., Sunday March 30, on KRTV. The
program is called "Face the State."

Kathie, how DO you find all this good stuff? Excellent detective work.

Do you think this will be available on the web, so we outside the Montana
viewing area can see it? Maybe on You Tube?

Alan, is this a station you can see/record from your big satellite hook-up?

I can dig a little, too! Here are links to the CBS weatherman's personal web
site, and his short backstory on being part of the Top Ten in 2001, and the
actual Top Ten List:

Top Ten Things You Don't Want To Hear From Your Weather Forecaster

10. "It looks like there's about a 70% chance of rain and about a 100%
chance I'm going to get blind, stinkin' drunk tonight"
From KOAM in Joplin, Missouri/Pittsburgh, Kansas, Tyler Daniel

9. "It's going to be a hot one today, so use this as an opportunity to make
fun of a fat guy in a tank top"
From WDTV in Clarksburg, West Virginia, Brandon Butcher

8. "I hope the heavy rains don't uncover the bodies I buried"
From WCAX in Burlington, Vermont, Sharon Meyer

7. "Today I am feeling unseasonably sexy"
From KTVL in Medford, Oregon, Jon Galfano

6. "Rain, sun, snow, sleet -- what's the difference? We're all gonna die
someday"
From KRTV in Great Falls, Montana, Fred Pfeiffer

5. "I have no idea what any of this means, I should probably take a class or
something"
From KELO in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, Shawn Cable

4. "There's a light trickle going on right now, which reminds me -- Sheila,
would you get an appointment with Dr. Fisch for me"
From KIMA in Yakima, Washington, Stu Seibel

3. "Enough with the weather, let's take a look at my recent oral surgery"
From WCBS in New York, New York, Tony Pann

2. "After all this talk about rain, I gotta take a wicked leak"
From WTKR in Norfolk, Virginia, Dave Parker

And the number one Thing You Don't Want To Hear From Your Weather
Forecaster:

1. "Die, you millions of tiny, pathetic people, die!"
From KHSL in Chico, California, Anthony Watts

I'd like to see that interview, too. And Kath is an incredible
detective, I agree. The picture of Dave, in that newspaper, with all
that white hair, makes me think of an image of God, except with a
dimple. I've never been to Montana, but have flown over the Grand
Canyon. Ah, nature. Wilderness. Breathing room. Choteau, where he
lives, sounds like a French name.

Kathie is the best poster in AFL of truly news worthy items.
But really, what will be presented in this interview that we haven't
already learned about Dave? Unless it is about living in Montana and
his ranch.

I'm stuck with Atlanta, San Francisco & Sacramento stations.

We'll have to hope for a web version.
