Technically this Letterman bit took place in July of 1990 but it still should be remembered as one of the great moments in National Donut Day history!

Make sure you celebrate National Donut Day today and get yourself a free one. Most chains are participating today, like Dunkin Donuts, Krispy Kreme, Honey Dew, etc.

Did you know National Donut Day is more than 75 years old? Yeah. According to Wikipedia, the holiday was created by the Salvation Army in 1938 to honor the brave men and women who served donuts to soldiers during World War I.

Fascinating stuff.

By the way, as far as best donuts go:
