Maybe someone has mentioned this before, but, John Laroquette - John La

Pynchon was David Letterman - same gaptooth, same preppy background, same
dry/weird humor. But dismissed it as rot. Never having *seen* the Laroquette
show, or JL himself, I have no idea about the strength of the connection.)

I don't get you about Larroquette.  Doesn't even seem remotely possible or
plausible, then again I think I'm misreading the question. 

But there's an interesting note about JL that we might take into account.
 Back in 1974, before he was such the household name, he narrated the
introduction (quite a long one) for The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.  No kidding.
 He, too, popped up in the most unusual of places, adaptable.
