One of the original Late Night writers Stephen Winer, May 18, 2021:
"Hey, you know what? I actually wrote for Charles Grodin once! My partner and I wrote this cold opening for the Letterman show. At the time he was in the news for starting a campaign to make people 'friendly.' So yeah this bit is pretty much on the nose but he brought his usual full commitment to it."

Grodin was the ONLY guest who gave Dave as much as Dave dished out.
I can't think of a better tribute to Charles Grodin than this Epic collection. Thanks (as always), Don.
Honestly, it's like he was born to be on talk shows and particularly Dave's.
I used to love whenever Charles Grodin was a guest with Dave. At the time, I had no idea Dave was in on it. I just thought Charles was a "difficult" guest who was always giving Dave a hard time. There weren't too many guests who were so aggressively in Dave's face, so it was always fun to see what he'd do each time he was on. Kind of similar to Sandra Bernhard in that way. I'm looking forward to working my way through these compilations. Thanks as always for preserving and sharing these shows, and thanks in particular for the work it takes to do these compilations. It's so great to see these "threads" through time.
leave it to future generations to puzzle over the surpassing will and dedication of the men forged in the usenet crucible, when giants walked among us, and there was so, so much less to do. thanks as always, don.
My favorite part was when David asked him about doing love scenes, and Charles went off into the whole "what to do with my valuables" routine. That was classic Charles Grodin. No one else could pull that off.
Midnight Run...so good. One of my favorite Deniro movie lines ever: "I've got two words for you...shut the f**k up."
Nice use of opening clips for context on Grodin's recurrent persona/act while with Dave. You're not simply editing, Don, you're curating!
I love this channel
I’ve watched this compilation (embarrassingly 😁) like three times. Just so funny, Grodin was my favorite guest on here as well as on Carson. Any chance you have a similar compilation for him on Carson? Thanks for putting these together. Well done!
Thank you for making this!~ this is talk show history for me. RIP to another great.
As soon as I heard Charles had passed away, you were the first person I thought of. I'm so glad to see these compilations. Charles was a great guest here with Dave and also with Johnny Carson. Thanks so much for putting in the work to make this collection.
Two times during this video, I laughed so hard it turned into a coughing spree where I had to take a moment to gasp for air. Thank you very much, Don.
Thank you, Donz! You spoil us. I've been waiting for this like a kid waiting for Christmas morning.
Hey Don -- Thank you! Hope things are well.
To the rescue, as always. Thanks Don!!!!
I have been looking for a comprehensive Grodin collection for a long time, thank you thank! These guys are great and so are you Don!
The 'Dave waiting for cable' episode I watched in full on UA-cam some time ago, and was the first I saw of Grodin. He was hysterical in that one, and I never saw anything else for the longest time - so glad to see theirs dozens of appearances that are just as funny.
I can't believe how many of these clips you have together. I really never would've guessed he was on the show THAT many times! Great entertainer too!
Thanks Don- I remember seeing most of these when they were new. Excellent execution on the editing and presentation. There's probably a better word to describe it but I just like the way you put this together, with the Snyder sprinkled in.
