Welcome back, Don!!! We missed you and Dave very much. I'm all teary...
I was obsessed with the dumb guy impressions to the point I had to practice them all the time LMAO. Thank you for this collection!
Thank you for this one! As a Detroit-area kid who watched many a Sparky Anderson interview, I always found his impression to be UNCANNY. I've thought about it a lot over the years, good to be able to confirm how well he did it.
I remember watching the show when Dave did that. I thought "damn, where did Dave go? Sparky's hosting the show, tonight."
39:20 - Perhaps the longest I have laughed in years. Tears. Thank you for posting this collection. Amazing stuff.
I didn’t get it… is that something Elvis ever said. Or that it is just completely off….
@@couchman184 Elvis never said it.
I was going to ask the same thing as Igor
What made you find it so funny?
YOU'RE BACK!!! Thank the UA-cam gods. Thanks for all of your continued hard work to bring us quality retro entertainment.
i guess Im asking randomly but does anybody know a trick to get back into an instagram account?
I stupidly forgot the password. I appreciate any tips you can give me
@Jeffrey Koda instablaster :)
@Zayne Cain thanks for your reply. I got to the site on google and im waiting for the hacking stuff atm.
Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Zayne Cain It worked and I finally got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D
Thank you so much, you really help me out!
@Jeffrey Koda Glad I could help :D
You are a true American.
Thank you, for your service.
My wife and I watched Dave before and after the move-he was our kind of irreverent. How any thinking person can listen to a hosts monologue today is beyond me. Thank you for this posting.
Hey, Don Giller, Thanks, for all of them!!! This, and all the rest!!!
The detailed description with all the dates and hilarious details is the funniest thing I have read in weeks
Patiently waiting for the Letterman impressions of Leno collection
This’ll have to do for now - ua-cam.com/video/1Jfs_icf-D4/v-deo.html
@@dongiller Thanks, Don. Had no idea how much I loved Dave's impressions until literally cracking up teary-eyed for 1.5 hours tonight! THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES!
I would like to see his impression of Johnny Carson 🤣
Am I the only person who laughs their ass off at Dave doing his "dumb guy" character?
Thanks for posting this! Lots of fun!
This was a truly inspired collection, and I thank you for the amount of work it took to put it together.
This wasn't on here (and it really isn't an impression) but I wonder how many times Dave said "I've been hyp-no-tized" on his show.
I may or may not put together a compilation of that.
And thanks!
0:10 future Dave should have told Dave that Don and UA-cam will come along to solve that ; )
Thanks for this
If you're here for Sparky Anderson (and, believe me, you are whether you know it or not) it's at 17:04
Can't thank you enough for your hard work posting all these clips. I thought that the old show was lost forever.
Thanks, Randy! The channel’s always at the mercy of the videos’ copyright owners.
wohho glad you're back from the private hell
"...whyy the depression..?" man i always crack up at that part
I think that gets the biggest laugh from the studio audience I've heard anything on the show get, as well.
Thanks Don!!! May you become the next UA-cam millionaire!!! Keep up the great work. Everyone spread the word!!!!
Not monetizing the channel may have been a mistake. :)
12:26 now we know where Clint Eastwood got the inspiration for his Gran Torino character!
14:18 my favorite of the bunch
Funny when he did impressions of "dumb guys." Talented.
Dave: "That's a little character I do. It's the Dumb Guy."
Paul: "I've never seen that guy before!"
😂😂😂
this is great..brings back so many memories: i.e. after seeing Dave do it, if i wanted to piss off my ex back in the day, i'd answer the phone "I told you, THE LOTTO MACHINE IS BUSTED!"..lol. Did i mention we're divorced? Great upload..thks.
"It's only a joke!" - Best response
Sparky and Dave...both classics!
wow, now that i’ve seen this, Dave’s Jane Pauley impression is really, really good
Phocking Pulitzer Prize for the video description above, alone.
How does he do it. How does he do it.
Masterful how Norm Macdonald imperssonates Letterman doing impersonations….
Damn, I miss the 80's.
All the time I watched Dave I wanted him to impersonate Paul. He had so many opportunities.
25:41 Paul is the best sidekick ever
That's true! Dave could come out and mow the audience down with an AK-47, and Paul would say "Do you think the audience is a little dead tonight, Dave?"
Funny to hear David josh about those who didn't come to the softball games given how distant he was with the staff in future years. The hubris of youth, I guess.
4:40 best impression of someone fielding a softball I’ve ever seen!
My pastor was from Indiana. I remember him saying Spacial instead of special. And he had the same mannerisms as Dave, so that the first time I saw Dave, I recognized them and yelled, “Dave is from Indiana!” And I married the pastors son, so I recognize the Indiana style really dumb guy totally.
28:14 The card he threw bounced off the confetti barrel 😂
mama, is they anymore mayonnaise?
would love to see "impression week" or all of Frank Caliendo appearences
Do you have a collection of art that Paul placed in front of his keyboard area? It seemed that it appeared in a handful of shows. For example in 1:13:18
I hadn’t put one together before the time came when I would no longer be able to.
Hey Don do you have "Them Bats is Smart..." uploaded on your channel including the re-enactment?
I don’t and am no longer able to upload additional Dave-owned and -licensed content, unfortunately.
Don.... where are you getting all these films from!
My own collection. Here's a link to my blog post about it:
donzblog.home.blog/2019/01/16/the-journey-begins/
There is no "off" position on the genius switch.
(scoff) You could have added more dumb guy impressions to make up for all that tonight show stuff you deleded ;)
I could have, yes. :)
But instead I added the final impression (on the final LN), which I should have done the first time.
In 1985 David's bright eyebrows made him look like an Oompa-loompa.
Where is the "hey uh.....uh....ya got'ny gum?" Bit?!
Not within the clearly-stated timeline. This covers the Late Night years only.
@@dongiller sorry, I couldn't tell you what years that little bit fell in lol. Thanks for the quick reply though
05:38 Is this what Daria was referencing?
I remember watching the 1991 Persian Gulf War episode!
The lotto machine is broken 🤣
Is there a Dr Ruth compilation?
There isn’t.
57:38 "Look Avery, Wolfgang Puck frozen pizzas!"
13:40 "The Lotto machine is broken!"
10:10 "FOR the LOVE of GOD!!"
Dave's a low-key all-time kiss-blower
"Ladies and gentlemersss."
Ann Marie certainly had a lot of nerve.
I’m watching Letterman because the news is so bad.
Elvis!
1:12:58 - art gallery joke
The OG deep fake
Ha ha
