In 1994 he worked as an American presenter for Sky News, where he covered the arrest of OJ Simpson, the bombings in Waiko and Oklahoma, among others.


He also covered the death of Princess Diana, the war in Bosnia, general elections and royal weddings.


In recent years, David has presented BBC shows, written for Spitting Image, and appeared as a question in Trivial Pursuit.
