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.

      Fellow Canadian here, and what I believe that he actually said was, “What’s with that, eh?” then turned the “eh” into an “anyway” at the last minute, because he remembered that he’s in New York and doesn’t want to be a stereotype.

    For my money, there has been no late night show like Letterman. If you look at what is done by today's late night shows, they're mostly patterned after Dave's in-the-street gags and pranks. Innovative and hilarious, and a bonus is that the majority of time he kept the politics out of it. He was the best!

    Why would people say Dave was talking too much? He has to talk to them a lot so that he can call them Chief/Debbie a lot, thereby prompting them to ask him to stop. It's the whole premise of the bit. But anyway, I'd never seen this bit before. The first two, when he was calling them Chief, were hilarious. The third guy was completely thrown off being called "Debbie", understandably. Also, that first guy was a spiritual advisor? I wasn't expecting him to say that. I should give him a call. "Hey, Chief, I need some spiritual advice. My soul needs a guiding hand, Chief."

    • @allendracabal0819

      With the second one here, Dave was talking so much we couldn't hear some of the replies from the "contestant". That's probably what Dave's staff was referring to, I would imagine.
