+save2600 Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 (edited) Nah - that's a pretty a generic look, especially back in the 70's/80's. The guy on Checkers though looks more like Robert Culp to me than DL. Maybe because I can't stand Letterman, don't want to envision him on anything... lol Edited February 4, 2010 by save2600 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+save2600 Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 (edited) Whoa, that's a real early photo of him. His later years 80's-90's look more like the guy on the Checkers box. But yes, DL definitely has that dorky/nerdy/dweeby thing going on If I had as much money as him, I'd have fixed those teeth decades ago. Not much you can do with the beady little eyes though. lol Edited February 4, 2010 by save2600 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+cmart604 Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 WOW! That IS Letterman. Who knew that back in the early 80's he had a parallel career as a videogame box art model? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Random Terrain Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 It just looks like a generic old white guy to me. Doesn't really look like anybody specific. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NovaXpress Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 That painting bears no resemblance to Letterman whatsoever (and Letterman was around LONG before 1982). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghsqb Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Not to be outdone, the folks that designed the box for the Sears version realized they needed their own celebrity for their box cover. Someone needs to photoshop the kids shirt on the Sears box to "Vote for Pedro", seriously. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
