A really young Macaulay Culkin is so cute in this sketch.

[@michiganjfrog366]

Macaulay Culkin was "piping hot" in the McDLT

[@shaylawatson1244]

That boy with the Key chaine really had the most creative costume I've ever seen

[@TangoAlphaLima]

Culkin sighting!

[@dongiller]

Nobody reads my descriptions.

[@theweezard]

I knew it

[@animalntelligence3170]

@@dongiller But here I reply to your comment, 3 years later (trump will try a coup, really!). Anyway, I guessed it was not culkin because home alone had already happened but no, this segment came out before HA --- bur probably culkin had already filmed scenes for it in 1989.

[@captainscentsible1811]

The mcdlt was kinda dry and boring. Never cared for it.haha

[@Genetherapy3232]

@@dongiller I do! 😁

[@MikeSmith-rh5gc]

I sure miss the days of NBC Dave.

[@bensdemosongs]

Props are so good in these

[@19gregske55]

Tanica came back one year later!!

[@BusStopProductions.]

I wonder if she remembers doing this

[@jfjoubertquebec]

3:10 precious

[@dabunnyman9133]

And on a creepy side note, this year after getting their treats, the kids wander off INTO Dave's apartment and are never seen again. :)

[@robertdavis4192]

Lol yeah why are they walking away by going further into Daves "house"?

[@magsmonroe6169]

When kids had home’ish made costumes!

[@MaryBlanche]

Clams girl was on the previous Halloween show!! ❤️

[@saraheart2804]

She was always so sweet.

[@captainscentsible1811]

@@saraheart2804 yea i think a few of them were.i heard one girl did it over 10 years in a row.not sure if that's true.

[@WendellsCat]

Wasn't he already a big movie star by then? Uncle Buck?

[@brandonshaw7619]

Strange
Uncle buck came out in August
He seems younger here possibly the wrong date but Laketa was on the year before announcing she was 4 and the date on that was 1988

[@randall-king]

It had been in theaters for two months. A lot of folks back then didn’t catch the movie in the theater but waited for VHS.

[@dmiller1000]

I've watched a string of these, from '82-'89. Is it better tech or did they suddenly by 1989, goose up the audience reaction via a sweetened reaction track? And that may have continued from '89 to present. It is obvious that the audience reactions you hear on these late night shows today are enhanced.

[@steveconn]

Yeah, thicker and louder for sure.

[@camiculkin9440]

Awww mi bb ♥️😍😍

[@jeannines3512]

My daughter is the opposite side of his costume. Does anyone know how she can save it to her channel?

[@KarstensCreationsKC]

Best solution I could offer would be to download the video yourself using an online downloader such as keepvid... Then just upload it to the channel

[@randall-king]

You can make a playlist on your channel and add the video to that.

[@DJRitty]

I can't get over dave in those sneakers lol no matter how many times I see it lmao

[@Berkner80]

He wore those on NBC but dress shoes when he went to CBS. In college we would stay up late and watch him on NBC.

[@jeff901]

The things he hands out are funnier than the costumes

[@chrisarseneault5617]

Was that Macaulay Culkin towards the end?

[@dongiller]

Nobody reads my descriptions.

[@MrMelgibstein]

@@dongiller Don ,we are sorry ,we are slowly learning how to read.

[@alramone1]

@@dongiller it's pretty easy to overlook the description -- maybe the relevant info should be in the title...

[@dongiller]

@@alramone1 It already is.

[@alramone1]

@@dongiller Title can read: "New Halloween costumes on Letterman (with M. Culkin)", then put the date in the description -- just a suggestion

[@vinky42]

Jimmy Hoffa's tomb!

[@FoxRivers778]

Was Jimmy Hoffa buried under a football field? Dave will have the same kids on. Lateka was on the previous year and so was the kid playing Ted Koppel. Doesn't the MCDLT boy remind you of Macaulay Culkin? Oh, wait it is him. I just read the description above.

[@qthelost]

Hoffa's body was never found and a number of places have been rumored to be his burial site, including old Giants Stadium.

[@josephlawson9950]

Before his was home alone

[@cyclo1224]
