How Letterman gets
those crazy props

By ROBERT BARR
Press

NEW YORK — David Letterman's writers thought it
would be funny to have a shaving brush that looks like a
celebrity. Kathleen Ankers had to figure out how to comb
the bristles.

“This one will become Gene Shalit, once I figure out how
to make a shaving brush’s hair like Gene Shalit's head,”
said, demonstrating one of several jobs in develosecet. in
her cluttered, closet-sized office at NBC headquarters.

There's also a backup shaving brush, a Don King model,
if the Shalit brush resists styling. “It's not very flexible,” she
complained.

Flexibility is the thing if you're doing props for NBC's
Late Night with David Letterman, a job which Ankers
shares with Jeremy Conway.

They make the giant chicken drumsticks, the maps
made of meat, the gushing oil derrick on Jerry Lewis’ head,
and the harness for Zippy the Late-Night Monkeycam.

Sometimes they have just a couple of hours’ notice
before taping begins at 5:30 p.m., and they're often still at
work at 9 p.m. or later.

THROWS EGGS

They set up the “super slo-mo” bits such as throwing
eggs into a fan, and they test some of the stuff Dave drops
from the five-story tower.

They worked up a velcro suit which stuck Letterman to
a wall, a fizzing Alka-Seltzer suit and the giant suit o
sponges which Letterman wore as he was dipped into a tank
of water

The worst, perhaps, was Dave's dive into a vat of
yogurt

“Well the yogurt one was so messy,” said Ankers, an
energetic, Dr. Ruth-sized Britisher. “That was the cocktail
dip where David went into a ton of yogurt — or almost a ton

wearing a suit with little pockets in it full of tortilla chips.”

After dipping, the dripping star headed up into the
audience to offer chips around.

Head writer Steve O'Donnell has the sometimes risky
job of testing the suits. The Alka-Seltzer suit released so
much carbon dioxide that O'Donnell passed out. Adjust
ments were made to keep Letterman conscious.

Conway is rarely on stage, but Ankers is familiar to
Late Night viewers as the daft librarian of the NBC Book
mobile. A natural comedian, she reads her lines for the
bookmobile bits with the same deadpan aplomb she brings to
her work

wore velcro suit

London, and set designs which nearly cover the history of
NBC television, from Omnibus to The Tonight Show to
Letterman's short-lived morning show

A good prop is a fleeting thing, seen for a few seconds,
but the occasional failure has an equally brief exposure. The
perils can be unpredictable, which explains Phil, the lonely
hamster who shares a desk with Ankers.

A couple of years ago, the prop team created a “sock
keeper” for those odd socks from the wash. Just nail them to
a strip of wood, “and then you put your hamsters in, and you
know where you've got them,” Ankers explained

We would normally have done it with some mechanical
thing that moved inside the socks, but we were terribly
rushed. It was like a 2'/-hour job, so we had to use real
ones,” she said

So then what do we do with the hamsters?”

They gave away some, and kept the rest. There was
Phil and Jane and Bryant. Then there were babies. “Phil ate
a lot of them,” she said

“He's very happy since all the others went,”
added. “He's much happier on his own.”

VANCOUVER (CP) — Tens of thousands of sealed
ballots from unregistered voters could affect the outcome of
Wednesday's British Columbia election in 13 close ridings,
including Nelson-Creston.

Election officials reported a sharp increase in the
number of voters who were permitted to vote under Section
80 of the Election Act

Those ballots, as well as votes from early polls and mail
in ballots, cannot be counted until Nov. 4 so election officials
can ensure none was on ‘he official voters’ list or voted twice
in the election in which Social Credit defeated the NDP
49-20.

Standing at dissolution was Social Credit 32, NDP 21,
one Conservation and three vacant. Redistribution increased
the number of members to 69 from 57

change hands

Universities Minister Pat McGeer is assured a win over
NDP candidate Darlene Marzarik only 650 votes away from
taking the riding’s second seat. Socred Kim Campbell won
the first seat.

But the votes of those who registered on election day
will not alter any of the close races, providing the 1983
pattern is followed.

Chief Electoral Officer Harry Goldberg said Friday that
in the 1983 election, the pattern of what are known as
Section 80 votes merely reflected what happened on polling
day.

However, absentee ballots could overturn the results if
the 1983 pattern was followed. Election day figures show the
NDP’s Corky Evans only 41 votes behind Socred Howard

VICTORIA (CP) — Con

not be changed merely for
the sake of change, the
federal government's elec
toral reform commission was
told Monday

“We certainly don't want

said Doug Nixon, president
of the  Saanich-Esquimalt

riding association

Minor changes have been
proposed to the Victoria-area
riding, splitting some major
streets into two ridings.

Nixon warned these could
look similar to an alteration
made in the provincial riding
of Vancouver-Little Moun

strong pro-Social Credit area,
nicknamed “Gracie's Finger

McCarthy, into her riding

The commission, which is
holding hearings in eigh
