It’s a sad, sad day in New York City.  David Letterman goes off the air tonight.

Today, we captured the onslaught of celebrity arrivals for the final taping.

Chris Rock, Steve Martin, Peyton Manning, Jim Carrey, Barbara Walters, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Tina Fey, Jerry Seinfeld.

The after party was at the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA).

Friday night, Sayreville, New Jersey’s Starland Ballroom hosted That Metal Show Live.  It’s not televised.  It’s a chance for Don Jamieson and Jim Florentine to perform stand-up and for Eddie Trunk to tell stories, as well as for fans to Stump the Trunk.

All three of them interviewed Jesse James Dupree (Jackyl frontman).  Afterwards, Jackyl was scheduled to perform a full show.

During the interview, they mentioned that a special guest who lives nearby will be coming out to perform with Jackyl.  Shortly after 11PM, Jesse welcomed Darryl McDaniels, DMC of RUN DMC.  DMC has recorded at Jesse’s recording studio and has performed at the Full Throttle Saloon in Sturgis.

DMC and Jackyl busted out awesome, super-rocked-out versions of the RUN DMC classics It’s Tricky and Walk this Way. Who knew Jesse could rap?!?!

Jackyl performed past midnight.  This was a great show!

Shortly after lunch today, NYPD got a report that someone spotted a body behind the ‘Ripley’s Believe it or Not’ billboard on New York’s 42nd street.  I gathered my facts from bystanders on the street, as well as facts from the Daily News.

The Daily News claims that on Tuesday someone saw a person jump, hit the Ripley’s sign and fall behind it.  They also claim they’ve been looking for the jumper for two days.  I suspect they got their facts wrong.

Story I got was that someone spotted the body behind the sign today, the Hilton hotel checked the security camera, saw that the person had jumped Tuesday.

Police offers draped a black sheet to block the view from onlookers.

In October, a man tried to jump from this very same observation deck, but ultimately negotiators talked him off the ledge.  No idea if this is the same person they found today.

The lights are up and the music is pumping at Christmas on Manhattan.  No, not Manhattan, New York.  Manhattan Ave in Waldwick, New Jersey.

Every year, the family sets up an awesome Christmas light display.  It’s probably the best in Bergen County.  Tune your radio to their home pirate radio station and enjoy watching the lights blink in harmony.
