So . . . there is no commercially released footage of Part dancing, and what's on You Tube is either grainy (Swan Lake), or pretty old (Raymonda, Fairy Doll). Surely only a tiny fraction of Letterman's audience will have ever heard of her, so can we expect a few precious seconds of new, high quality video by way of introduction? Is it too early for a "yahoo!"? Well here's one anyhow: (IMG:http://ballettalk.invisionzone.com/style_emoticons/default/yahoo.gif) ?

This is extraordinary! When was the last time that a ballet dancer was a guest on one of the late night talk shows? Perhaps it has to do with the ghost of Ed Sullivan roaming the theater named for him (where the Letterman show originates). (IMG:http://ballettalk.invisionzone.com/style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif)

I just noticed this in an older article:
QUOTE There is also Tony Mendez a former dancer and current staff member on “Late Show With David Letterman,” who is eager to have her appear on the program. Now in Principal’s Slippers, Facing Fears Yay! I guess it all worked out! (I'm not exactly sure about how to quote articles on this forum) |

Great question, Farrell Fan. Does anyone have an answer to this? I'm sure M. Barysnikov was a guest in one of the late-night talk shows but this was after he became an "actor". |

I don't know about a sit down guest, but didn't some NYCB corps members take part in a skit or sight gag of some sort on Letterman's show? I read a vague reference to some such thing somewhere (how vague is that?), I think in DanceView Times. Deanna McBrearty's site lists among her film and TV appearances ""David Letterman Top Ten."

Is she going to be a sit-down guest or will she be performing a piece? For example, three years ago Peter Mattei, Diana Damrau, Juan Diego Florez, John Del Carlo and Samuel Ramey performed an abbreviated version of the Act 1 finale from 'The Barber of Seville' on the Letterman show. http://archives.metoperafamily.org/archive...t.w?xCID=351638 |

kfw's reference to Deanna McBrearty makes me wonder if Part's appearance on the Letterman show could be for something as mundane as reading the evening's "top ten list." I'm hoping for something more substantive, but I've already lowered my expectations, just in case.

Great news if the commercial world is finally waking up. But I don't suppose Charlie Rose on PBS counts as a "late night talk show" to the rest of the pop world, because at least on that program, several current and former ballet dancers have appeared.
Of course I will never forget when ballet dancers appeared on Mike Douglas (was it Makarova/Nagy?) long after Mr. Sullivan was no longer with us. |

Among all the ballerinas, I never thought about Part doing this type of show...(isn't it always told about her being shy and all...?)

Cynthia G,Fernando B, Martine VH and Alexander Godunov appeared in Merv Griffin Show( not sure if t was an afternoon show?) |
