    One of Dave’s all-time segments. People were talking about it. News stations aired it at the end of their shows.

    One of my all time favorite bits of David's. This was also my introduction to David Letterman back in the 80's. 😄

    David was the only man who ever made Velcro interesting.
    What a legend.

    I remember with crystal clarity watching this stunt as a kid and having the biggest laugh of my life when he hit the wall! I didn't know I was capable of laughing like that, until that point. This is such a special clip. Thank you!

    Dave's the only one that could make such a ridiculous, seemingly boring sketch endlessly entertaining.

    I'm convinced that during the bigger version of this stunt Dave did with the suspension wires and super tall Velcro wall, he hit the wall so hard that he nearly broke his nose but I've never heard Dave or anyone else ever talk about it.

    This is gold. I wasn't even born yet when this aired, but one has to understand the zeitgeist. I miss those days even though I wasn't around.

    My dad taped a rerun of this episode during a writer's strike a few years later. I wore the tape out as a kid. If I remember correctly, he called a pay phone on the street to a recruit a random guest the same night. This was truly the apex of creative and borderline surreal comedy. Thanks Dave!

    There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.

      Just say it was your favorite episode, or preface your comment with, "in my opinion".
      Otherwise, stating an opinion as fact like you did, is incredibly dumb.

    I remember staying up late to watch Dave when I was a kid. My mom had got me a little black and white television that I would sneak under my covers at night to watch Dave and Johnny. I remember watching this show. I never knew what it looked like in color till now.

    The weird thing is when he’s upside down, he sounds exactly like he does now.

  • @JamieJobb
    @JamieJobb 2 роки тому

    Anyone who understands the intricate logistics of photography will immediately surmise that Mr. Letterman is being photographed from an obtuse angle which creates the fake illusion that the floor is actually a wall, if you can believe it or not. So, I chose to add this hazard to our homeowners policy.

    All those union guys helping Dave down. There's even a dude to remove his baseball cap in the safest way possible. "Assistant Hat Holder" Unions are so "padded", is easy to figure out why movies and streaming services cost so much.

      Dave was a big fan of Jackass. I remember him mentioning it on the show after he had seen it for the first time. The only show I heard him praise more was Beavis and Butthead.
