A pair of local residents -- the show's anchor, Willie Geist of South Salem, and legendary late-night talk-show show David Letterman of North Salem -- did the interview during a round of fly fishing at the Cross River Reservoir.

Letterman discussed his retirement, and a trip to Costco to buy "a walk-in bathtub," as well as late-night TV in the age of Trump, his own views on the president, and his relationship with his wife and son.

The segment began with Geist and Letterman meeting at the Bedford Sportsman's Cross River Bait & Tackle Shop on Route 35 in Cross River.

"A big thanks to Charlie and Todd at the Bedford Sportsman in Cross River, New York for spending the day with us," Geist said. "It's actually the Bait & Tackle Shop that both Dave and I go. Those guys are the best around."
