An award-winning mullet.

[@thefunshow2024]

The good ol' days when a mullet and exploding cottage cheese could pop a crowd!

[@samiam111]

"Mid-Western" for "What kind of a movie would you use an exploding bratwurst?" was a sharp response and was maybe too quick for this audience. It deserved a better crowd reaction and it looked like Dave had to take a moment to process it.

[@KungEMuller]

Exploding stuff is totally awesome. Dave made it even cooler. Yeah!

[@kstepko]

Honestly, that ‘bug hit’ was pretty cool - and realistic!

[@frk75]

Before youtube who is loaded with this kind of content..... dave did it already on tv, talk about being a visionary 😊

[@kstepko]

They needed TWO squeegee guys for the cottage cheese! 👀

[@SeanAllocca]

In before Silent Gamer again, He is slipping.

[@janeltranmer2284]

I have this weird feeling Silent Gamer is Jimmy Kimmel!?

[@bobbyk9815]

That guy looks like 70s Crocodile Hunter.

My question to Letterman super fans: if you could estimate what percentage of the show has been uploaded by the channel, what is it?

[@Gibson42a]

Well, google tells me that Letterman did 6080 episodes of Late Night and Late Show combined. This channel has uploaded 1,500 videos. That's 24% of 6080. But, assuming that each episode had approximately five sections (monologue/opening, comedy bit, two guests, and musical act) and each channel upload is one of those segments (such as this clip being a small segment of an episode) then that is (6080 x 5) 30,400 segments, and so the 1500 videos uploaded by this channel is only 4.9%!

[@kstepko]

@@Gibson42aThank you!

[@Piggy-Oink-Oink]

A "boom-box" has actually only been 'exploded" in ONE movie..DEATH WISH 2,,, but it was an incredibly satisfying destruction. Got Laurence Fishburne right between the bass and treble lol.

[@KenAndBarbie]

I miss the eighties 😃

[@user-eq2dx2jp6v]

😂😂😂😂 perfect

[@SurLaMer_]

Gallagher only needed a wooden mallet 😂

[@m1t2a1]

Next, a cement mixer.

[@fluxcapacitor1621]

The world needs a Letterman 10 year retirement reunion show. National security depends on it!

[@_Tanasis_]

Flux
why ?
Why?
WHY?

[@penguin44ca]

Are you going to say that on every single video?

[@Anonymous1038HI]

[@user-eq2dx2jp6v]

Letterman was incredible before he became angry

[@ClockwiseCat]

He was never angry - just wise
