No one's brought it up yet, but this video reminded me of how on point Paul and the band were with their music cues. "Mambo No. 5" by Lou Bega for a guy named Lou, "Stairway to Heaven" for the stair trick (duly noted by Dave), and "U Can't Touch This" for a guy named Hammer. Enhances the whole experience, and a little extra "Easter egg" (before that term came into common use) for those who picked up on it.
I loved Dave…Loved SPT…but, damn; Dave always made me nervous getting in the dogs’ faces like that. He’s lucky they never took a chomp-That’s a threat to an unfamiliar dog that’s already stressed! 😮
@@Some-guy-you-dont-knowyou know, I always kept seeing this clip, but never knew Dave accidentally stepped on its tail. Poor Zeke baby. But at least doggo had a great catch!
Do you remember on Seinfeld the scene where Elaine was annoyed at the newly engaged lady at a party and Elaine blurted out The Dingo ate my baby! That was because of Letterman 😊😊
@@Teddy31976 I'm pretty sure it was because of that lady who had her baby allegedly eaten by a dingo in the outback. Very popular story in the news at the time
Great stupid pet tricks. I lost my dog this year… she would have been in the movies as she was the most beautiful dog in the world… but I kept her to myself. Seeing dogs always makes me happy. If humans were as loving and giving as dogs…would would be drastically better place.
I remember watching this when it first aired. Can't remember if that cut in the video was there, but I do remember them using a slow-motion replay of the bite for one or two commercial bumps later in the show. Also, Dave kept talking about it for the rest of the week.
I love seeing how much Dave loves dogs. He is truly a dog lover.. He knew that Zeke didn't mean to hurt him and felt bad for putting Zeke in that predicament
Dave was pushing it with that first dog. That jack Russell was a good dog letting dave get SO close to him, stupid dave! * edit* geeez the 2nd dog too! Dave was asking for it on that night.
Been watching these forever and the only thing that always put my teeth on edge was David putting face right into an animals face…an animal he didn’t know and was in extremely high energy new environment. Had to eventually happen! Couldn’t ever believe that the producers wouldn’t have told him not to do that! Man, the dog with stairs, the dog standing on owners hand, and then the catches the last one die….all incredible dogs.
At first, I thought that Zeke was going to be catching houseflies - but a dog catching baseballs, rather than snapping at bugs, was far more entertaining.
I don’t think dogs like strangers putting their faces right up to them, especially when they are probably already stressed. remember that news anchor who was doing an adoptable dogs segment, leaned over the dog on the news set to kiss it and got her mouth bitten really badly?
@@Vamatt99218 -- That is true, but it's clear none of the dogs actually liked it. They tolerated it. Even the last dog, before the tail stepping. It makes me even more uncomfortable that when i see people dress up their pets (which they also hate).
@@trekkiejunk true, none of the dogs seemed to like being so close to his face. Not sure if dave did this ever again but i assume after that incident he changed how he greeted the animals.
I love Dave, but he should have known not to put his face up to strange dogs that way. He was clearly scaring the previous one who kept running away from him
Painful to watch a grown man essentially repeatedly challenge dogs to bite him in the face (in dog language). Love Dave otherwise but I remember watching this segment and cringing, worrying all the way through that he was going to get bitten.
This is why kids get bit in the mouth so often. Dogs consider it rude to have a stranger get in their face. They nip their puppies faces when the puppies have bad behavior, and human skin is not as strong as puppy skin. What they may tolerate for their owners, they often won't tolerate for strangers. Don't kiss or hug dogs, it's disrespectful to them.Kissing and hugging is human behavior, not dog behavior.
Dogs don’t like it when your face is so close to their face... especially when you are a stranger... never do that to a dog please, that’s so dangerous
Not the dog's fault. You never put your face up to a dog's. I learned the hard way. I got 9 stitches in my upper lip on Thanksgiving a few years ago. 😮
Oh man, that “HELLO DOGGY” combined with getting in the dogs face like that 😅. Recipe for disaster.
Couldnt agree more, He went full Green Goblin with that voice!
Little Air Max gave the beginnings of a snarl near the end of that little game, too

I love how Jerry the retired teacher was so funny and well-spoken. Years in the classroom clearly had prepared him to deal with Dave's silliness.
Dogs hate it when you put your face in their face even more than Richard Simmons hates it when you spray him with a fire extinguisher
They hate it worse when you step on them, which is what happened.
THANK YOU. I’d love a super cut of all the times he talks about the dingo biting his face off in reference to this moment.
The “no wagering” joke was always funny.

I’m not an animal behavior specialist, but I’m wondering if it might be a mistake to ignore the stepping on the tail aspect of this incident.
@@Some-guy-you-dont-knowyou know, I always kept seeing this clip, but never knew Dave accidentally stepped on its tail. Poor Zeke baby. But at least doggo had a great catch!
@@Some-guy-you-dont-know yes, obviously that was the case here, but he did the in-your-face thing with most of the dogs. Made me nervous.
@@Some-guy-you-dont-know He stepped on one tail, but he clearly weirded all of them out. Some dogs handle that better than others.
Oh lighten up, Francis.
I love how for years after that, he continued to tell his guests about his run in with “a dingo”.
And/or a “snarling cur”

totally daves fault! zeke was very very lovable
The way Dave kept his cool when he got bit in the face was incredible. What a pro & a total gent.
Dave seemed like he loved dogs...but also like he had never been around one in his life.
agree. He doesn’t let the dog “get to know him” first by smelling his hand first. Sticks his face right into the dog’s face…not a good idea Dave.
That was a super line up of smart pups!
Remember kids, don't step on doggo's tail.
I love seeing how much Dave loves dogs. He is truly a dog lover.. He knew that Zeke didn't mean to hurt him and felt bad for putting Zeke in that predicament
He loved them, but obviously had never been around them in his life. His behavior around them was always awkward and unnatural.

I wonder if Zeke reminded Dave of his first wife, too?
"Did he just learn how to do this?"
"No, he's known it for a while."
Thank goodness the first two dogs didn't have a tail!
I don’t think dogs like strangers putting their faces right up to them, especially when they are probably already stressed. remember that news anchor who was doing an adoptable dogs segment, leaned over the dog on the news set to kiss it and got her mouth bitten really badly?
poor zeke got a bad wrap he was incredibly sweet dave stepped on him! hes so adorable
---------------------- muskoil aftershave , Zeke went into full self preservation mode....thanks4sharing
Those were some great tricks!
If I was one of those dogs I would have tried to bite Dave's face off too, that "Hello Doggy" thing clearly wasn't working out for them.
Well he stepped on his tail, it was a reaction....
@@Vamatt99218 He was also being creepy & weird with them for comedic effect (note - I absolutely love Dave, but he doesn't appear to understand dogs).
@@theritchie2173
I’m a huge dog lover, but getting in the face of an unfamiliar dog is a terrible idea. Dave had it coming honestly.

You don't get much more pleasant than the guy with the dog that walked up the stairs backwards
The Dave That Tried To Step Dog's Tail Off
6:50 infamous moment - but I feel the real reason for this has been forgotten until now. Real reason: 7:02
The dog was very friendly and well trained. Dave was irritating, stepped on its tail. This had to happen. Still it was looking apologetic.
He got in his face, that is a form of aggression on Dave's part. He was lucky none of the other dogs tried to bite him too.
RIP in peace dog :(
Rip people's faces off in peace?
I'm gonna go get the papers, get the papers ;)
LOL out loud XD
South African drummer Anton Fig in the Letterman show band is one of the best.
@2:51 I noticed the horn player in the back appears to be talking to someone through his mic lol.
Bruce Kapler! Good catch, I missed that. Maybe communication with the guys in the sound booth.
That dog knows a ham when it sees it.
Alastair won’t bite you … but Zeke will.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes!
I love Dave, but he should have known not to put his face up to strange dogs that way. He was clearly scaring the previous one who kept running away from him
Son sabios un saludo desde Colombia, gracias
Dave was the best
Going for the laugh bit Dave in the face.
Ah, Alister! You know how to live, buddy! Backwards.
Painful to watch a grown man essentially repeatedly challenge dogs to bite him in the face (in dog language). Love Dave otherwise but I remember watching this segment and cringing, worrying all the way through that he was going to get bitten.
Great lessons in how not to meet a dog. I'm surprised the 2nd dog didn't nip him also.
7:10 7:57 What was edited out?
Fix your title to Dave steps on the dog's tail. The dog does not try to bite his face off.
Dave talked all week about the dog, or dingo, that tried to bite his face off. Long running joke.
Never get in a strange dogs face.
Why did they stop the animals segments on the late night shows?
That’ll learn ya.
Never get in an animal's face, Dave. What the heck is wrong with you? Did you learn anything?
Dave failed to heed the warnings
We'll be right back with Jimmy Kimmel.
This is why kids get bit in the mouth so often. Dogs consider it rude to have a stranger get in their face. They nip their puppies faces when the puppies have bad behavior, and human skin is not as strong as puppy skin. What they may tolerate for their owners, they often won't tolerate for strangers. Don't kiss or hug dogs, it's disrespectful to them.Kissing and hugging is human behavior, not dog behavior.
I'm the guy in the second row that turned the dog around. Does that mean Dave can sue me?
if that guy fell down coming down the stairs.....big lawsuit.
Dave was stressing those dogs out. he is a stranger to them up yet he kept pushing them. it’s his own fault if he got bit.
by the way dave you should never put your face into a dogs face! zeke was adorable
Why would you put your face down in a strange dog's face? And why do men always clamp their hands around the dog's mouth? So aggressive
Dogs don’t like it when your face is so close to their face... especially when you are a stranger... never do that to a dog please, that’s so dangerous
6:50
What was he expecting putting his face so close to those spikes, and not minding his own movement. What a ignorance
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Dave let the dog live right? …. Right?
Not the dog's fault. You never put your face up to a dog's. I learned the hard way. I got 9 stitches in my upper lip on Thanksgiving a few years ago. 😮
Pretty stupid move for a dog person.
"Stupid Late Night Bloody Talk Show Hosts Tricks" would be a better title
Wtf😂
These videos just remind me most people shouldn't be allowed near animals.
See you at the rainbow bridge Zeke.

hi
Clever baby 88
Huh?
Dark hunter 95
The hello buddy thing Dave does is very annoying and stupid.
wow
CLICKBAIT
They all should have bitten him. He should have let each dog smell his hand before he started groping them. Pretty rude way to handle dogs.
Like how a dog comes up and sniffs your crotch? Pretty rude of the dog. It's an animal goober, not a human.😂
Had nothing to do with letting him smell his hand. He stepped on his tail
Well, I just lost two eyes reading this comment. They're here somewhere, but I can't tell how far they rolled.
