I love that it seemed Zsa Zsa was having a legitimate good time in that remote.

[@frangordon2790]

I love all of these memories of working on the show. No one is as good as David Letterman!

[@rlpd5218]

Johnny Carson and Craig Ferguson are better than this guy it's obvious

[@joshuaarmstrong377]

All three genlemen are great hosts, lets be grateful there were no fallons or cordens in the golden age of late night

[@KungEMuller]

Wow! You did a great job helping Dave come up with awesome and iconic things to do on TV, Jon.

[@johncornell3665]

Love these staff favorite moments. Ingenious whomever came up with this idea, thanks Dave!

[@shoganguy33]

I have such wonderful memories of 'The Bar' sketch. Remember watching it on air.

[@Wuggyboobeaufuf138]

What a nice memory of the writers

[@tomypreach]

Yeah, Jon beautifully played with the emotions and history of the show. What an amazing history.

[@rangers11ization]

Bill Murray did so many great skits for dave😂

[@Piggy-Oink-Oink]

Bill was his first guest. I was THERE. Murray was hysterical before the show.

[@OMGWTFLOLSMH]

As did Regis, Bruce Willis and Rupert.

[@TheJuniorMints]

Thank you for sharing HAIRBOY! 🖤

[@thelettermanpodcast]

What a FANtastic way to build a favorite moments segment. We have had many of the friends Jon talks about in this segment on our show. And many others we would like to have on as well.
The connections and friendships behind the scenes make the show even better.

[@kstepko]

Thank you, Steve, for Big Ass Ham! I considered those bits to be the height of comedy as a teenager. **giggle** Ass …

[@Donagh1979]

These should come with a playlist in the description of all the bits he was talking about in the video.

[@rsgabrys----]

---------------------- big ask .....not to be confused w/big ass .....canned ham is this close to spam....thanks4sharing

[@robclarkson5356]

Brilliant, Jon, thanks for this clip - loved it!

[@Piggy-Oink-Oink]

I didn;t know Warren Beatty actually did a bit for Letterman show lol.

[@peacefrog5449]

These are Gold! keep em coming ..:)

[@Redmenace96]

The Boy Band, Fresh it Up, was peak. If SNL had written/aired that, it would have turned into 10 skits over 5 seasons. It was HILARIOUS! (it has shown up in at least 3 of these memories vids. The writers and costume lady are justifiably proud.)

[@jeremyladan3324]

The Letterman UA-cam channel should post the full performances for Fresh Step and all the fake musicals.

[@SidelerMN]

Gerry’s catch phrase about Lou Rawls is a classic. And I love how multiple writers have brought it up as part of their favorite memories.

[@kstepko]

The Strong Guy, The Fat Guy, The Genius? Big Man on Campus? Both hilarious bits that I never forgot about, but their accompanying jingles were the icing on the cake.

[@RichardsShortHorrorFilms]

Was that Matthew Morrison in the boy band?

[@kstepko]

Yes!

[@SonnyBone]

Lou Rawls !

[@allendracabal0819]

Right now I need Lou Rawls, but I don't have him.

[@DaucusKarota]

These are great to watch. I worked nights and enjoyed the show and missed so many bits. Great 👍

[@Bosesification]

Brilliant.

[@OMGWTFLOLSMH]

This was great! Thanks. And nice pad too.

[@oldmoviesinbwwithsubtitles3501]

There's only one ham I serve my family it's Big Ass Hams.

[@S1L3NTG4M3R]

THANKS

[@thelettermanpodcast]

Yeah! Also, sup!

[@paulocuaresma9480]

Nice 😂

[@squinkque]

Sweet Lou Reed shirt.

[@Hogtownboy1]

What was it like being around Paul. The guy who know ever one who was anyone in music. Plus the most uncool cool person ever

[@MichaelMurphy-kj3xf]

Jill Davis = Certified Knockout!!!

[@DrVVVinK]

He also did ED

[@wendyvermont]

Is it possible that Matthew Morrison started his career in that "boy band"?

[@user-yb6jt3oy3u]

that’s my dad!!!!

[@GIBKEL]

Is that Tom Hulce or Lou Reed on your t-shirt? I can’t quite figure it out….I’m leaning Lou. Damn you had the job of jobs….funny in a circus of funny.

[@thefifthdementia5231]

In the final sketch who's that next to Dave?

[@sarcasticsasquatch]

bet the janitors LOVED peaboy

[@_o__o_]

RIP

[@lynnturman8157]

I wonder if Dave remembers any of these people.

[@bingobongoguy]

Corny guy

[@rasierdotcom]

Fun with Rupert is always hilarious. Did they ever air the clip when somebody pulls a knife out on him? If not can you guys dig it up and post it?? Ice skating with Bill must have been awesome.
