B. Bill's mother Mary Hicks guests on January 30, 2009, and, over fifteen years later, Bill's banned standup finally airs. Dave mentions before her appearance that Bill's Late Night debut occurred on November 15, 1984. That was actually the date when he was bumped.

C. Portions of the edited Late Show as broadcast on October 1, 1993. Bill Hicks' standup was replaced with Late Show writer Bill Scheft's from the August 26 shakedown show. Bill Wendell had left for the evening, so Dave handled the Opening Announce, taped at 11:25 PM that night, ten minutes before air.

D. Portions of the original, unaired Late Show as taped in the late afternoon on October 1. Included are Bill Wendell's opening announce, Dave's unedited intro, Bill Hicks' standup, and a brief chat after his performance and at the show's end.

Bill passed away nearly five months later on February 26, 1994, of pancreatic cancer.
