- Fan Friday Request:
"Dear Lettermen and Letterwomen,
I’d like to request the clip where Dave got a call from John McCain saying he had to cancel his appearance on Late Show because the economy was “cratering” only for Dave to find out McCain made several other interviews instead. I have found the clip online, but it was uploaded when it happened in September 2008 and is in very poor audio and video quality. I’d be very grateful if you could remaster it and post it online.
Thank you,
Mason Seymour
San Francisco, California"
(From "Late Show," air date: 9/24/08)
If you have a clip you’d like to see, email us at whoaskedforit@gmail.com

“Crater I barely know her” classic
that joke literally ALWAYS works, will never die
I use variations of that all the time now because of Paul. 🤣
This is brilliant. Ive watched it so many times. Letterman's quick wit is unmatched. Can we please have some of the interviews he did with Regis Philbin? They are such entertaining one on ones.
This moment was literally influential in the outcome of the election. McCain/Palin dropped like a stone into the ocean after this drubbing from the King of Late Night tv. The Road to the White House absolutely ran through the Ed Sullivan Theatre.
If Dave was still in TV in 2016, there's no way Donnie boy would be president
Eh, it was the economic crash that did it. People forget that McCain was within the margin of error with Obama all summer until the great cratering. People blamed the party in power, as they do, and that was the end of it.
King of late night?? He's a nickel and dime at best 😂☺️😄🤣
@@user-ir4pp6qe6nbut tell us, how can one "be" a nickel AND a dime?
It’s an expression Dave would use on his show, “Our little nickel and dime show!…”
“Need a ride to the airport?” Classic
“OK Dave, McCain’s a no-show. You need to fill 40min of dead air. Go!”
Paul was on his game this night!
This clip was a great reminder how influential comedy can be during an election. It was also a reminder of simpler times. Sigh. I really miss those days
If only Dave would really tell us what he is thinking 😂
Dave's the last person u want to ditch on. Not only did he ditch Dave, he went on the same networks news knowing Dave's gonna find out😂.
I'm outta here! Taxi! That's me!
McCain's one was one of the best of Dave's bits. Now we need some of the Sarah Palin jokes. Who doesn't remember the "gotcha" and "killing mooses" jokes? lol
Poor Olbermann 😂
It's sometimes hard to pick any one thing that ended a candidate's chances of winning an election. This right here is the precise moment that John McCain lost any chance of winning in 2008.
"He doesn't seem to be racing to the airport, does he.."
Veal piccata sounds good.
McCain "disses Dave" and now McCain is dead. I don't think that you need to be a rocket scientist to see a connection here.
I knew a guy who ate carrots last week, and then, suddenly, he died of cancer.
Remember when we had honorable, sane republicans?
TRUMP 2024!!!
@@Monster_Mover_Stocks Another 45 lies in one debate. Winning!
@@ktpinnacle If a middle of the aisle, moderate Democrat replaces Biden, he could easily capture the entire Dem party plus some of the more moderate Republicans who are tired of Trump. If they replace him with California's stooge, then we may see another 4 years of Trump.
@@Monster_Mover_Stocksagree, McCain was not a hero. Heroes don't get shot down and captured. Suckers and losers end up as POWs and KIA
@@tatumhildebrand5397 Spite against who?
letterman’s youtube channel is becoming really inefficient. john mccain died a few years ago!
Dear Dave section.... 😁
Not so much "Dissing" Dave, but rather "Ditching" him
Where is Sarah Pailin now?😢
If you are supposed to go on Dave's show, then actually be on his show. Don't lie and go on someone else's show. That's the moral here.
I just donated to Jill Stein and got a cool trucker hat
Whether you agreed with his politics or not, John McCain appeared to be a great American who represented our country well, and sincerely cared about our country. If it hadn’t been for his poor choice of running mate I believe he would have won his election. Wish we had more people like him to run for President now.
EXACTLY
He raised a monster. Just because he did a few great things doesnt mean he didnt consistently vote against solid legislation to help the little guys, consistently. It took his last few years for it all to catch up and thumbs up terrible faux medicare coverage 🙄
@@JimBluePiano He sucked just like Mittens Romney and the rest of the stinking RINOS.
Honourable.
@@JimBluePiano False. Report the truth all you want.
If you're gonna do politics on a late night talk show, do it like Dave.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Maybe the reanimated corpse of John McCain could run for the GOP
What was the big crisis in 08? I don't even remember.
Then you're too wealthy for it to have mattered to you. Who cares lol. 😂
Credit default swaps. 🙂
After Johnny Carson, David Letterman was the best. Stupid Pet Tricks. Stupid human tricks. Paul Schaffer was a great ‘second banana’. sarah Palin is a good looking babe
.
C'mon, who wants to interview with Katie when you have Dave? By picking Sarah Palin, John McCain gave us years of (fill in the blank).
I think the McCain campaign were intimidated by Obama's broad appeal and felt they needed to swing for the fences with their VP pick. They definitely did that. But apparently they didn't vet her properly in their desire to make a big splash. I doubt he ever said it publicly but I feel like as time went on and Palin become more well-known for drama than governing, he probably regretted not going with his first love, Joe Lieberman.
Fill in the blank “years of insecure white males seething”.
@@danthemankhanhe really wanted Joe, but the party wouldn't let him do that.
At that point in the campaign, Dave would have grilled McCain, so making VEAL PICCATA on Rachael Ray's show instead made perfect sense.
Love Dave, can't stand Olbermann
Just a few short months ago, Jon Stewart returned to the Daily Show and his first topic was mocking how our nation thought the best two Presidential options were Trump and Biden. He of course went after the low hanging fruit and mocked Trump, but he also mocked at how Biden was no longer fit to be President due to his mental deterioration . The stooge Olbermann ripped Stewart apart for suggesting such a thing, even trying to surmise that Stewart was Pro-Trump.
I'm curious -- after last night, what does Olbermann think now?
His tweets blame CNN's commentators.
He's a complete idiot. I respected him when he stuck to sports and ESPN, but he became a nutcase when he went into politics.
Love Dan, sure. But how do you feel about Dave?
Eh. Donald Trump said POWs are only heroes because they were captured, and if anyone would know about our military and earning respect it’s Donald Trump.
Lol
What a disgrace to the office of the presidency! Can presidential candidates get any lower than this? Let’s hope we never have candidates that bad again! /s
Can you say trump?
I guess McCain didn't consider that Dave and Katie Couric were on the same network.
