Man goes to Mrs. O'Hara's house, and he says, 'There's been a terrible accident, I have some news: your husband drowned in a beer vat.'

There were maybe 60 of us at 7 or 8 tables. "Johnny showed up by himself for dinner, was told Dave was there with the Late Night people and came over and sat at Dave's table. "Later that week, Johnny got a call from his business manager, who asked him about a huge bill from Granita. Turns out Johnny had kindly offered to pick up the check for the Letterman people, thinking there were only the 5 or 6 at Dave's table. He was more generous than he knew." 12. February 17, 1993.
