I can't imagine being Paul in that moment and hearing "whoops!" 🤣

[@scottzema3103]

Another great moment on your show. Talk about taking a hit for the boss, thanks to Paul. Even vegetable choppers make me nervous watching them on TV ads and make me clench my fists; not out of anger but to make sure my fingers are still there.

[@ronsandlin9618]

He asks a lot of celebrities like Joe Franklin. Discount maybe. Priceless definitely.

[@RJS3566]

Guy looks like Wayne Newton.

[@paulbocchini8599]

I thought he was Wayne when he walked ou

[@Bringos76]

Its K-Mart the discount magician

[@v8vrooooom]

Loved the Kamarr NBC years appearances....good stuff!!!!!

[@johncornell3665]

Kamar was great. Thanks Dave!

[@tamrasmith1744]

David, it always works. Two times out of three.

[@KungEMuller]

Yep! You know that things are going to be insane when Kamarr comes on Dave's show to do magic.

[@MaxStax1]

Damn, I miss the Letterman show!

[@nylesglynn8727]

If you had to distill all the non-celebrity Letterman guests down to one, it would be Kamarr. He captures the essence of '80s Letterman.

[@Genious.]

It was always Kamarr, Brother Theodore and Harvey Pekar that al always loved seeing the most on Letterman back when I was too young to be up that late - but stayed up anyway.

[@stevenjones9364]

Love me some Kamar!

[@daleproctor3723]

My all time favourite Letterman guest!

[@carp68]

I'm surprised Dave didn't call Kamarr "the discount magician" like he usually did.

[@kstepko]

“Let’s rush” and “this is a guillotine” are two phrases that don’t belong in the same sentence.

[@rockbottomrhythm_blues]

Another skit for Kimmel to attempt

[@kstepko]

“I’ll eat anything with lighter fluid in it!”

[@ohwowthatsgood]

Did Paul survive?
