Karel Soucek on Letterman, September 20, 1984
Karel Soucek was a Canadian stuntman whose claim to fame was going over Niagara Falls in a barrel on July 2, 1984. He then appeared on Dave two months later to talk about the experience and then have Dave recreate the fall by going down an audience aisle in his own barrel.
Four months later, on January 19, 1985, Soucek attempted another barrel drop, this time from the top of the Houston Astrodome. He was killed, and so consequently this show never aired again.
