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. These highlights have been artisanly-produced, carefully-curated, and chosen completely at random by an old computer that used to pick numbers for the New York Lotto back in the 90’s.

The very next night - May 2, 1986 - I was at a taping of a local Vancouver show at CKVU TV (which would become City TV) in which Paul was the guest, and he performed "Green Onions" with the show band lead by Rocket Norton.

I love watching these shows. Reminds me of good times.

Viewer mail - the highlight of my week!

David Letterman - Inventor and Godfather of Cameo

[@royrowland5763]

Paul mentions Arnie Barnes. I remember that running bit well. Just some random kid working at Omaha Steaks that they would talk to on the phone. I remember they had a police sketch artist in the studio one night drawing what Arnie described as his physical appearance.

I used to sneak and watch these episodes when I was too young to understand many of the jokes. The older I got the funnier the bits were. And that's true to this day. I've been laughing so loud I fear I'm disturbing my neighbors. Keep up the excellent content!

[@lmiddleman]

Chuck & Di were in Vancouver for Expo '86.

Congratulations to the winner of today's contest, Mr. R. M. 'Bud' Flowers of Santa Fe, NM. The answer to the brain tweezer was "7." Thanks to everyone who participated and don't forget to try again tomorrow.

The 80's were the best, happy birthday tapes from celebrities, Nowadays Apple sends you fake balloons.

[@kinsmed]

I feel bad for those grandkids that were looking forward to seeing Pop-Pop do their extra bit on Letterman.

[@adamcorriganholowitz843]

The writers predicted Cameo perfectly.

[@kstepko]

They temporarily reduced the picture format only when it served to hide the fact the CBS and ABC executives were not in the studio: bravo!

[@eddieloius4592]
