    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.

      I was in the audience one night when Richard was a guest. He took a polaroid with Letterman and then ran into the audience, to show us. Yes, I was frightened a bit.

      I agree, and this one is my personal fave. Hilarious. Amen to your Jay Thomas tribute. His show on Sirius/XM was the best thing on radio, year in, year out. Fortunately, there are full-show repeats of them available on UA-cam now. I listen every night.

    As a contractor I’ve often wondered about the marquee and how much it could support. Thanks Harold! I’ll add every year around Christmas I was the Darlene Love episodes. I really like how they got bigger and probably better. The first, military and the last ones, still bring me to tears

    The Barbara Gains show should talk to Dave about Richard Simmons. Richard needs to know that he is still loved. I always loved when Richard was on. It was like Big brother Dave and little brother Richard.

    FANTASTIC! Have yet to be disappointed by any SFM and Harold is no different! Love all your on camera segments Harold! Was just thinking I love how they telegraph the outro of these vids but always keep one for last and you placing the lucky penny and then clubbing that fellow with a shovel got my morning off to a hilarious start!

    12:37 Mandela effect! I've had this clip in heavy rotation in my brain ever since it aired around 1999. I've never laughed so hard. Oddly, over the years I've mis-remembered Harold's line as "Mr. Letterman sends his regards." I actually think my version would have been funnier, and sound more mob-like, but hey, I'm just happy to see this again! Bless this channel!!
