Let's say hello to Mom. Via the magic of satellite, we find Dave's mom in her friendly familiar kitchen. Dave makes some chat with mom as they talk about the unseasonably warm weather in the Midwest. Today was nearly 20 degrees warmer than the norm. Does she believe in the climate change? "Not really" says Mom.
Dave says Mom likes to spend Thanksgiving morning picking up hitchhikers. "Is it hitchhikers and drifters or just hitchhikers, Mom?" Mom says, "Just hitchhikers." Mom as the transmitter, Dave as the receiver . . . Dave goes into a trance as he attempts to glean the pie information his mother is telepathically sending. Is mom also in a trance? "Yes" she responds.
Dave: "The first pie . . . is it pumpkin?"
Mom: "Not this year."
Dave: "Cherry?"
Mom: "Yes, a cherry pie"
Dave then asks if the second pie is a nut? No.
A fruit pie? No.
Huh? What could it be?
The second pie this year is a Sugar Cream pie.
Ta da!!
And what does mom plan to do now? "I'm headed out to the airport for a couple of inappropriate pat downs."

Today is Thanksgiving (11/24/2011): there was no segment featuring "Dave's Mom" from Indianapolis via Satellite during the preceding 11:35 episodes. At the Wahoo_Gazette (blog-newsletter for the Late Night Show - CBS) there was this explanation for the 2011 omission =
And that was our show
for Wednesday, November 23, 2011

Whoa! What happened to Dave's mom's pies? We didn't do it this year. Why not? I'm not sure but I heard mom was in the mood for cake.
