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. The language may strike you as quaint & flowery, the clothing comically lacey & ornate - but that’s how things were back in this colorful and now bygone era.

Love this guy, especially when he said, "If the Yankees were the last team, if they were the only team that gave me a contract, I'd retire."

[@MusicalBox]

I remember having headaches for days after seeing the effect that shirt caused on the screen

[@Snowboy2015]

Griffey was a class act. Different era.

[@kstepko]

Dave is an obvious baseball fan. He’s always on the edge of his seat whenever he interviews a player.

[@Danimal77]

He's also a huge basketball fan and of course, race car driving.

[@EightPieceBox]

Dave owned a small piece of the Mariners from 89-92.

Nice baseball memories...love them Griffeys

[@Andrew-Antioch-Kim]

Griff's swing as well as glove is legendary!

[@oceanwoods]

Hilarious.
The band played Millie Small after that gaff.
Quick and clever.

[@gecafe]

Chilly kisses!

[@kstepko]

I thought that Dave was about to say “Milli Vanilli”.

[@tvviewer4500]

I agree. We should be giving Ken Griffey Jr. More money for being him self. The world needs Ken Griffey Jr. Now more than ever

[@addiebrook2517]

Despite the scandals,90s baseball was the best and Ken griffey jr was my hero.

[@Snowboy2015]

You look like Nas 😅👌🏽

[@toddfee9251]

In an Era of juiced baseballs and juiced players, Junior did it the right way. 100% natural with a smile on his face. As a Mariners fan since '77 I can tell you for a fact if he didn't beat up his body playing on that horrible Astro Turf with cement under it in the Kingdome all those years, he wouldn't have been hurt as much later in his career and he'd be the all time HR leader, not Barry Testosterone Bonds.
