- Before presenting the week's viewer mail, Dave displays his birthday gift from the network. A week later (and shown after the Viewer mail segment), Dave has the gift transformed into something of value.
Viewer Mail features Anton Fig, Melissa McDowell as his girlfriend, Brian McAloon as the pizza guy, Melissa Desruisseaux as the small child, and Steve O'Donnell as the giant teddy bear.
"Do I strike you as a crank? A cynic?"
"Well ... definitely not a cynic."
hello Don Giller thanks for replying to my comment recently and setting the record straight on that particular topic . . . i so enjoy these late night clips you are a top notch youtuber happy birthday thanks
Thanks, Casey!
OMG that flashback bit was brilliant!
"Dave! DAVE!! HEEELLLP!!!"
I ❤ Anton
6:00 - Gotta love when Anton Zip's killing somehow 'automatically' calls the cops! :)
Fig….his last name is Fig
A sterling silver drink coaster, well bless their hearts, what a lovely gift. I love what he did with it.
Ive been watching this channel so much lately, Dave and Paul are in my dreams lol
robert davis Keep watching ‘till Don Giller appears in your dreams :)
I have dreamed of him already. It was really bizarre, my head was the tip of Don's penis, the dream was first person point of view and I was staring up at Don's thumbnail image attached to a giant naked torso. Don had this really angry expression on his face and he attacked me, strangling me violently, as I approached death I realized Don was just trying to bust a nut and that while to him was merely the pointless pursuit of penile pleasures, from the perspective of the penis was homicidal horror.
Damn, this is funny! Dave truly was at his best when he left his desk. Thanks a lot for uploading this, Don! :)
I love that coaster!!!!
These guys have that type of furnace in an office building? Wow!
I really like the Doomsday Clock!..definitely worth all $8.00!!!
What was the woman at the register saying?
12:46 - Is that the 'vacuum salesman' featured in the first season?
Oh and was there any aftermath or sequel to the gift thing?
God they were good back then. This was lightening in a bottle.
The flashback had a kind of Film Noir "Detour" situation that turned into a "planetary romance," wonder if these guys were reading Daniel Clowes, heh. Then again that kinda thing was in the air at the time. Bonnie Raitt joining the band for Captain Beefheart and the magic band's "Sure 'nuff 'N yes I do" from "Safe as Milk" probably went over more than a few heads then and now. My dad loved watching this show with me for that reason, spotting unusual numbers coming from the band. We were both insomniacs. Well, the Internet has figured out who H.P. Lovecraft and The Stooges were among other things, so we've moved an inch or so in 30 years. But I suppose it's ultimately better the good things remain largely hidden and misunderstood.
And Barbara Gaines as herself.
thank you Don. "dave drags a barely funny bit about looking down his nose at a gift..WAY past it's expected lifespan!"-i love em all.unfunny? bring em on!
I love what Dave called 'found humor'. Carson had it to a degree, but Letterman (sans writers?) really ran with it and made it an art-form! The classic example was the Writers' Strike of early 1988 :)
Dave: "Hi, I guess your sick of watching all those lame re-runs. We're MORE than sick of them - We're OUT OF THEM!"
Anton was very underused.
dpf2122 He was in plenty of skits in the NBC days. Paul, Sid and Will, also. When they switched to CBS, sadly, this was no longer done.
And Dave could never get his f*cking last name right! :)
0:37. National Broadcasting Corporation. I cannot believe Dave gets this wrong. For a guy with so much rank to not even know the name of the network. Just shows his complete disregard and irreverence.
Or... it was intentional.
Or it actually is the National Broadcasting Company (Paul may be thinking of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation).
