Biff Henderson - Late Show With David Letterman

Late Show With David Letterman

One of Henderson's most notable roles has been his appearance during the CBS Mailbag segments. David Letterman would read the sender's name and hometown for each of the viewers' letters. Henderson would then find the hometown on a large map and stick a colorful pushpin in its location. Henderson's appearance during this segment became so popular that it led to the creation of the Late Show CBS Mailbag 2002 Biff Henderson's Map Across America Summer Tour. Henderson and his map traveled across the country and appeared via satellite from such locations as Mount Rushmore, Niagara Falls and the Grand Canyon. One segment Henderson performed in was a take-off of the MTV show Punk'd called "Biff'd". The segment resembled Candid Camera. In the segment Henderson would come out of nowhere, either startle or scare the person, and say the catchphrase "you just got Biff'd." In one of Henderson's more memorable segments, Letterman sends Henderson to Camp Towanda, a sleepaway camp and films his stay.

During the taping of the February 8, 2010 Late Show, Henderson injured his right leg. Henderson was playing catch with a football thrown by Letterman during a break, he tripped off the stairs at the edge of the stage and landed on his right leg. Henderson was transported by ambulance to the hospital with his leg in a brace.

In addition to his appearances on the Late Show, Henderson has appeared on To Tell The Truth and guest-starred on CSI: Miami and Cosby.
