Ah, the good old days. This was back when Letterman's show followed Johnny Carson, so I don't think this show came on the air until 1:00 AM Eastern time. That was a little past my bedtime back then as I had a full-time job!
Unless my memory is failing me, Steve's claim of three straight world pocket billiard titles was arguable, as there was no PPPA World Championship event in 1984. Steve did, however, win in 1982 (over Dan DiLiberto in the final, I believe) and also in 1983 (over Jimmy Fusco in the final, I believe), so I guess it was fair to say he had been reigning champion for three years. The 1981 world title was won by Nick Varner, who beat Mike Sigel in the final.
Looked like Letterman had fun in this segment. Thanks for sharing.
