    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.

    Dave probably had so much fun pranking rich apartment owners that he didn’t mind (that much) that the remote they had filmed didn’t air. At the very least, he’d confirmed that Pete-or-Alex wasn’t going to be boring.

      No doubt that was the golden era. I'm just grateful he survived the heart surgery and still with us.
      I recall a bit he did post-recovery where at one point he picked up a jar of mayonnaise and (quite sincerely) he matter of factly informed the crowd: "THIS, folks, is a tub of lard!". And that cracked everyone up, myself included. If anyone else had done that, you might have had people nodding in agreement, maybe some slight murmurs. Dave just deadpans the line with no funny expressions or quirkiness and folks bust up laughing. Thats magic.

    Oh man, these clips are so good. I'm surprised that I don't remember more of them--I never missed a Dave. I couldn't stay awake that late so I would have my VCR set all week long and tape every show. On weekends I'd have ''Dave-outs''--I'd watch'em all, fast-forwarding through the commercials. Plus I went to three live tapings. I was a true ''Dave Slave''. He could make anything--or nothing--funny. No one was better, before or since. I had been a Carson fan, but Dave took over as king.

    I went to the tapings in San Francisco and spent every day that I wasn't in the audience outside in the Palace of Fine Arts. Got to meet Biff, Calvert DeForest and a ton of famous people, including local celebrities. It was wonderful. I still have a a blue and gold foam Basketball which was given to people. Mines signed by Calvert "Larry Bud Milman" DeForest and Biff. Wonderful times. I was 14 at the time.

    David Letterman retiring from the Late Show was tantamount to the day the music died, with the loss of Buddy Holly. Late night Comedy died a horrible death with S/Colbert taking over control.

    • @usaturnuranus
      @usaturnuranus Рік тому

      I felt actual pity for Colbert, who I like just fine. But how the hell do you fill THOSE shoes? Thought Colbert was pretty brave to take that one on, could have easily been a career killer.

    I have always wondered if the people who were hypnotized again by watching themselves in the hypnotism segment - Biff, in particular - were faking or not. Thank you for verifying that there was, indeed, pandemonium throughout the Ed Sullivan theatre!
