Later in 1994 (maybe '95) Roger wrote an article explaining what happened with that Jack Lemmon story on the air. I can't find it on his website anymore, but the story goes like this: prior to the taping, Letterman's colleagues had prep phone calls with Gene and Roger individually. They told each guy "We want you to tell the Lemmon story. Don't let your partner interfere!" When the show was over, Gene was furious with Roger for going over the top and nearly ruining the segment he thought they both knew was supposed to be his. But they talked it over and realized Letterman's people had fooled them both, and set them up for an inadvertent bit of comedy.
Boy, they were such children! They fought about EVERYTHING, not just movies! Their chemistry will never be matched or surpassed!
Siskel & Ebert must have been two of the best guests ever on that show. and that's saying something. they're terrific.
For those wondering about Ebert's story, the movie he's referring to is called The Castle of the Rose (1969). The only way to see it is at the Korean Film Archive in Seoul.
The thumbs down had to have been out of tribute to these guys.
I always like how he calls them "America's sweethearts" or "America's favorite couple." I was such a fan of them beginning in 1989, when I was 13. I would get Ebert's books for my birthdays and/or Xmas, and of course I watched them on TV. I think it was their Nov 1994 Letterman interview, where I was watching it in the college dorm, and a bunch of girls came in and wondered why Siskel and Ebert were always together- "Do they live together?"
"In Hollywood Oscar is king."
I miss this type of late night these days everything is so political it's like there's no place to breathe anymore
One of the best comedy trios I’ve ever seen. I just watched 46 minutes of just their 1994 appearances and I absolutely loved it.
RIP Siskel and Ebert - always entertaining and thoughtful
That snowball fight at the end was just wonderful in every way!
Siskel & Ebert were such an amazing pair of entertainers. Dave had such a great rapport with them and bet he looked forward to seeing them every time.
I love how Dave stirs the pot with these guys. At the right moment, he'll intentionally say something to cause disarray and says "oh boy, here we go!" when they start going at each other. He plays them like a toy- it's great. This was the best late night show.
God I miss them so much.
Imagine you’re on an airplane and in the row in front of you Siskel and Ebert are arguing about a card game and throwing food around
I miss the old days...
This is Letterman at his best. In the funeral home was brilliant.
“We’re getting on really well now!”
Old american television is really great, I say that as a spanish who was born in the middle of 90s.
What great guests
