    Welcome to the Letterman UA-cam Channel, home to all your favorite clips from Late Night and Late Show - as well as conversations with the writers, producers and performers who helped make it all happen. These highlights have been artisanally-produced, carefully-curated, and chosen completely at random by an old computer that used to pick numbers for the New York Lotto back in the 90’s.

    Fun fact: This was Chris’s last appearance as a Late Night writer. He then left the show to work on “Get a Life” with fellow LN writer Adam Resnick.

      A couple of times per year, without any warning to those around me, I burst out laughing at the recollection of the deadpan detachment of his GAL parents, Gladys and Fred Peterson.

    Whenever I think about Chris Elliot, I always think that his parody of Morton Downey Jr. was my favorite - but then I see these clips that make me second guess it all.

    Chris Elliott is one of the inventive delights Letterman and Company ever unleashed on the masses. He could collaborate (His stuff with Gerard Mulligan is legendary,) lead a skit or sketch with other players, or go one on one with Dave himself.

      Dave was the true successor to off-beat Ernie Kovacs, but he had just enough of the midwestern gentleman in him to garner mass appeal. He would have made a great Tonight Show Host. Jay was never a good fit. He's a solid working comedian and does very well in comedy rooms, but his big-budget Tonight Show didn't suit him. Too flashy. Too rehearsed. Too safe. I really like his low-tech car show. It's the perfect platform for him.
