Sean Connery's Epic 1993 Jetpack Entrance on Letterman

In honor of the late Sean Connery, may we present his first ever appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman back in 1993.

He flew in on a jetpack. Because that's the kind of thing you do when you're Sean Connery. Perhaps eerily, the first thing he discussed in the guest chair was how he was there to dispel the farcical rumor that he had died, and to "be in living color" with Letterman.

Let's just not think about that line Connery had in the 1998 film Playing By Heart, where he said he liked Jay Leno better than Letterman.
