Yet he doesn't tell jokes, isn't asked his opinion by anyone and never succeeded in business with or without trying.

This the world of Wayne D. Rudner, and welcome to it He's a 22-year-old, college graduate from Tucson, Arizona who's got one desire: to appear on "Late Night with David Letterman." And he's resorting to shameless self-promotion in his one-man campaign, launched on a whim last April while a student at The Colorado College. "I'm just going after the American dream," he says, in his fast-talking used-car salesman manner. "I'm trying to prove that if you set out to do something, it can be done. MI think I can offer David one of the funniest interviews he's ever had, it'll make the ratings sky rocket," he says.

"And I think my appearance on the show will benefit mankind." Rudner has been talking to anyone who'll listen. Stopping people on the street Kissing babies. Getting signatures for his petition drive. Even wrangling a few big names to write to Letterman. Arizona congressman Morris K.

Udall wrote: "While I cannot personally attest to his claims, I firmly believe that getting Mr. Rudner out of the Southwest would benefit him."

Freyschlag, president of the Colorado Springs Chamber of Commerce, put it more bluntly. "Please count us among the friends when we join Morris Udall in recommending that you take Mr.

Rudner off of our hands." There were other letters too from his mayor, for instance. And then there are the 10 businesses from his college town, Colorado Springs, which footed the bill to New York, including-roundtrip airfare and $1600 in cash. "He is a little kooky," said travel agent Claudia Taylor, who contributed the airfare. "I dont think he's mentally deranged," says Tom Bader, owner of College Pharmacy, who kicked in $40. "But there is something there that got him possessed with this." ITH MY QUICK wit and my fresh, new perspective, rd be a great guest," says the ever-modest Rudner.

"I'm the voice that can lead this country into a new direction. This is going to benefit America. It's good for the country." The Letterman show, however, is not impressed. Last June they rejected him. And during the show's staff meeting yesterday, no one remembered him.

His quest seems a longshot, at best Rudner plans to stay in New York and keep at it until June 23. If you happen to run into him, pretend you dont speak English.
