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'd like to think Dave is posting these himself from his home office using a cigar yellowed Packard Bell PC he took from NBC.

For the love of god, why isn’t there a David Letterman channel. I would pay to see all the Late Night with David Letterman shows in their entirety!

[@rhuephus]

there is ...

6:27 Cool cameo by two members of the Asbury Jukes who would later be back in 6A every night as members of Conan's band: Mark "The Loveman" Pender on the left and Richie "LaBamba" Rosenberg in the center.

[@KungEMuller]

Now, this is a true classic.

The house exploding is from the 1981 film "Thief" with James Caan. Fun Fact: The part of the house that exploded was a facade in front of the real house, but as you saw, it was a lot bigger than expected and it destroyed the real house (and was later torn down).

Dave's Dead Air hour summed it up perfectly!

[@mackdaddyg321]

This was great. Please keep sharing more viewer mail. That was a great way to end the week back then, and it would be a pretty cool way to end each week nowadays.

Nice little touch on the popcorn letter, the microwave that blew up his house had a GE logo on it...I think they had to be careful not to mention it or show it clearly under the premise.

[@vrvaughn]

Yes but was that the filler portion or padding?

[@MichaelMurphy-kj3xf]

Excellent observation!!! I didn't notice that

[@ruthecker399]

love dave too funny

[@mhildack]

Dave definitely had a couple before this show. 🥃

[@rhuephus]

now ya all know the actual beginnings of "The 70s Show"

[@WaterlooExpat]

7:42 Film cameras! Let's go back to the 80s.

"Dave's Dead Air Hour" -- what a great name for TV show ... but I think Jerry Seinfeld did that, just using a different name

[@janeltranmer2284]

Wow. That was genius. He completely adapts to any situation. That was just brilliant. Who was the guest that didn't show up?

[@allendracabal0819]

You will need to activate the Don Giller bat signal for that. Somebody nicknamed "The Rocket".

[@MichaelMurphy-kj3xf]

Roger Clemens?
Maurice Richard?

[@janeltranmer2284]

@@allendracabal0819 Yes. Mr. Giller would have it. I was thinking perhaps there was no real guest. It was part of the bit?

[@hinthegroove9740]

Did somebody say 70’s?

[@mclaren720]

was this earlier than the 70s or later?
