Headline: David Letterman reflects on terrible Airplane! Audition
Caption: In a new book titled Surely You Can't Be Serious: The True History of Airplane!, the former Late Night host reflected on his terrible screen test for the role of Ted Striker, who went on to be portrayed by Robert Hays. "I get out there, and they had set up a cockpit for the aircraft with chairs," Letterman recounted of his audition. "I had a chair, and there was another chair where the co-pilot would be. We did the scene once, and then they came in and gave me some notes, and then we did it maybe two more times."
