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 love when they post viewer mail and CBS mailbag segments. Used to be the best part of my week. And wow, that's sad.

[@patton303]

One of my favorite parts of these videos is that brutal Anton Fig drum lick at the end. Please don't stop using that!

[@theloganpropst]

Man what a fantastic representation of what Late Show and Late Night were all about with the smorgasbord of jokes that was! One of if not THE finest viewer mail segment that's been posted on this channel so far. Kudos to whomever selected this one.

[@lastangelman]

Thank you! Great to see this again! I miss Tony Mendez and his tantrums!

What happened to Tony?

Very well played. You get a bag of kisses.

I just loved it when Tony storms off in a huff!

1:06 - Nice Bob and Ray reference!

[@johnnyreed]

That was once a rare breed of comedy- involving real life people to slapstick skits and Dave was the pioneer!

[@bluebear1985]

On the program tonight, we've got actress Susan Sarandon, music from the East Harlem Violinists, and race car driver JUAN PABLO MONTOYA!
(cue fanfare from the horn section)
We'll be right back.

"...ly Ballou here" - Dave randomly making a Bob and Ray reference

[@gersonkphone]

They really should do a staff picks video with Bob and Ray's son.

[@RoxStar1968]

The best part about the guy hanging on the ledge is he sent the e-mail on September 18th and they replied on November 4th. So Kevin had been hanging there for quite some time

[@lastangelman]

Yes, I had. Builds character ... and callouses!

[@RoxStar1968]

@@lastangelman You've been waiting patiently for a long time for this video to be uploaded, haven't you?

@@lastangelman Are you really the same Kevin Kunreuther?

[@lastangelman]

There's only one of me! I am THAT Kevin Kunreuther , but the guy in the video is not me.
And Dave mispronounced my name. But spooky thing ... That WAS how it looked when I opened the door to my apartment.

[@martasatgo]

I understood what he said in Spanish... Very funny. 😁

[@tomypreach]

I didn't 😞🥳

[@csaunderson]

"I recognize his handiwork".
They don't make jokes like that any more.

[@thelettermanpodcast]

I bring you bag of kisses.

[@JackSilbert]

The late great Tony "Inky" Mendez!

[@gongqi67]

Funny, funny stuff.

dave king of late night

[@ArtificialBanana]

Did Paul open up the thing before this segment?

[@keefriff99]

Was that Randy Couture at the beginning of the Nike ad?

[@brentwebster6341]

Yes it was.

[@somejackball]

😅

[@grl9917]

Dave was always a little goofy, but not in a funny way.

[@lastangelman]

David did mispronounced my name ... Can we fix that somehow?

[@voitball]

Tbh, I'm relieved the guy wasn't rlly on a ledge
