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.

Billy Blanks bears a striking resemblance to Late Night writer and 1997 World Mixed Doubles Curling champion Gerard Mulligan.

king of late night

[@Uarehere]

I always loved it when Dave would bring on the sailors during fleet week! 😍

[@DemonsSister]

The Jar-Jar reference helped me date this. 👍👍

[@shelleyking8450]

Alan's pet peeve...killer. IT'S JAR-JAR! OMG, that was epic. We also know Dave has good taste in coffee.

[@KungEMuller]

This is funny and amazing. Of course, I will say this. Alan Kalter was really deep when he answered the question about pet peeves. Wow!

[@TimothyATaylor]

I miss the Mailbag!

[@bleepiestofbloops]

Idk how I never noticed Dave's pronunciation of Los Angeles before this week. I typically just hear that in stuff from the 50s-70s.

[@bobbyk9815]

The robot voice filling in the missing audio was barely even noticeable.

[@martasatgo]

Oh Paul's green outfit was beautiful there.

[@S1L3NTG4M3R]

I need Coffee

[@mhmrules]

Sometimes, it takes a Navy to get a coffee refill.

[@thatoneguy2813]

Ah yes, that old timeless phrase

[@AR-ed3xw]

So what do we even have the navy for anymore?

[@MultiVince95]

Friday 28th May 1999

[@michaelstein7850]

also re-aired on Friday, June 2nd, 2000 as a repeat

[@thoom42]

Alan is the best, as always.

[@ninestories2]

Is it cornucopia? 😹

[@pakdolan]

Man I'd love to get me hands on some of that Jar Jar Binks meat.

[@dianewinters8628]

In the Navy...

[@DippyHippie]

I sure do miss my David!😢

[@bluebear1985]

We'll be right back with Jennifer Lopez.

[@bluebear1985]

5:08 Uh oh. You'll be hearing from George Lucas' attorney on that one, Dave. 😁
I'm still trying to figure out if Jar Jar was really that bad.

[@patriciamorgan6545]

Yes. Yes, he was.

[@daven1719]

However bad you think he was, in reality, he was much, much worse. When cringe entered the Star Wars universe.

[@mannybravo237]

R I P Jar Jar

[@michaelstein7850]

some audio problems in the clip at 0:25 and 2:21

[@johnseroff7434]

nothing says turn of the millennium quite like a tae-bo joke... except maybe a jar-jar binks joke

[@ferdinandd7884]

alan killing it, as usual.
also: was there a video taken down recently in which dave took some kinda challenge or did i just dream that up?

[@lurx2024]

Every time Dave gets a hankering for Java, he compromises American security against the commies.

[@Checkmate1954]

2:20?

[@mhmrules]

Tape problem, probably.

[@siriuzbiz]

play it backwards

[@michaelstein7850]

call Don, will splice in the audio from another tape :)

[@sergioalejandrorubioflores8905]
