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. And for those of you who like Miscellaneous, you may very well find some Miscellaneous here.

I have a hopeful feeling that all these Chris Elliott segments are leading into a Chris Elliott Staff Favorite Moments video!

[@gersonkphone]

Yeah, loving all the Chris content, but it feels like everybody who wrote on Late Show for more than two weeks is going to do a staff picks first.

[@UniversalExports23]

Always loved when Dave prowled inside and outside 30 Rock bugging the hell out of unsuspecting people. 😅 And yes, please bring on more Chris Elliot!!!!!🎉

[@michaelparks6120]

Sophia is alive and 89....put your Google fingers back in their holsters.

[@TonyWud]

Smile when you say that, partner.

[@dontrockwobble]

5:47 the very reason why I always pause and read the parts of the letter not surrounded by the red highlighter :)

[@jimmyguitar2933]

I love how low budget the set was on the old Late Show, especially compared to the extravagance of the CBS show.

[@kreegull]

Connie Chung’s secret committee of twelve lives to see another day.

[@KungEMuller]

Now, this is a classic late night TV moment. Dave saw a legend, Chris came up with a legendary character, and Dave lifted weights. You don't get stuff like that on TV anymore.

[@jimmyjames2022]

"We're testing some equipment", best line in this clip.

[@arpaddanos9416]

Those adlibs from NBC latenight era have yet to be matched

[@maryellenarmour]

Oh my goodness, what a lovely trip down Late Night memory lane that was! Thanks!

[@gersonkphone]

@3:37 that's Frank Field, who was a tv weatherman in NYC for nearly fifty years.

[@MarkHPreston]

I looked him up. died in July at 100 years old

[@lorip.1110]

Fun fact: Dave narrowly avoided having his legs broke after Sophia Loren sent a pair of Teamsters reps out to 'talk' to him about the dressing room incident.

[@wardengentles53]

Haha! Sounds like something greaseballs would want to do for her. " How daaa yous walk up and, make er feel some typa way..."

[@johncornell3665]

Love how Dave would do his little pop-ins here and there. Thanks Dave!

[@BrianBaggett306]

THANKS for these Chris Elliot clips all week. YES!!

[@LankyTurtle]

REM was the musical guest on this episode and years later would provide the theme song "Stand" for Chris Elliott's show "Get A Life"

[@BlakeNaftel]

Please, for the good of the United States and society in general, release the remastered Conspiracy Guy chronicles specifically related to the Connie Chung secret committee of twelve. The public has a right to know! Thanks for the video.

[@rsgabrys----]

------------------------ were gonna have to file formal FOIA.....w/library of Congress n get full clearance from the Pentagon ....thanks4sharing

[@privatepenguin3137]

Chris Elliott was a hilarious as the Conspiracy Guy....now we have a country full of Conspiracy Guys....and its not so hilarious.

[@genehakman9422]

I know, like who would spend two years investigating a trump Russia collusion?

[@privatepenguin3137]

@@genehakman9422 Bingo! That's like investigating littering on Charles Manson.

[@klipkultur3680]

I'm wondering...Yes! Sophia is still with us at 89!!!

[@WilliamJames48]

Man, She’s smokin!

[@billsmith5166]

Sophia and Chris. Two specimens of sexiness, beauty and femininity.. one waning, and one blossoming.

[@privatepenguin3137]

Chris would be the femininity part.

[@privatepenguin3137]

Jeez...at least three people in that tiny room smoking. Yuck!

[@ownpetard8379]

The good ole days.

[@DM-hw4cr]

She's Italian.

[@martasatgo]

The guy named Frank looked very confused, like "what the _ happens to Dave?" 😂

[@shellbacksclub]

Love how they highlighted the 'to read' parts of the notes in Crayon!

[@steverado87]

1:28 BOB ROONEY!

[@JasonDavis103]

I love that early Letterman set. Just so much junk cluttered up all around on the walls. haha

[@markbirchette8740]

The man under the stairs!...,lol

[@tomryan4968]

A new band, called REM!

[@nakamichiguy]

Yes!! I didn’t realize this was the same episode that REM made their network TV debut, playing “So Central Rain” before it had a title. This is peak Letterman and peak 80s. Absolutely the best.

[@tres913]

I miss Dave so much. Does anyone else remember his daytime show? It was amazing. Fun fact... Dave was the inverter of the "cold open" concept.

[@matthewklein660]

All the Chris Elliot videos are making me think he must have died. I hope I'm wrong!

[@clancykobane9102]

boy ol' maureen never sat in an uncomfortable chair thats for sure.

[@ryanellis4474]

SUCH a brilliant show!
I HOPE that THE DONZ is in charge of this UA-cam channel (and is paid WELL for his goodness).
I will pray for America.
Please pray for me.
God Bless you.

[@WEPDRabbitEarsTV]

Chris didn't die he did?

[@S1L3NTG4M3R]

Chris

[@MDoddio]

Sophia Lauren smokes Luckies.

[@93Jubilee]

Sophia Loren had alheimer's toward the end of her life, God bless her!

[@lynnturman8157]

For a while there, I was starting to think you got your Sophia Loren & Chris Elliott files mixed up.

[@Cedar602]

Chris Elliott.

[@barrymarootner504]

Back in the day before people knew they were being “programmed”.

[@blitz77788]

Congratulations on the 8 pounds Buddy 👏
