Don't blame Letterman for Teri Garr's performance!
Garr is one of Letterman's favorite people (possibly a good friend, too).
Once I saw five shows in one week with her on (I think they may have been
reruns while he was on vacation) - he explained how much he enjoyed her
company. The persona you see is the way SHE chooses to act - he just enables
her to bring it to even better form than usual. And yes, I've seen her in
serious (though bad) made for TV movies and she does a passable job.
