@@elcheapo9444 Dave is one of the most honored entertainers in TV history - nominated for over 50 Emmys, winning over 10 times, as well receiving the Kennedy Center Honors and the Mark Twain Award for Humor. He got paid many millions to host a talk show for over 30 years. He's been praised as a comedy icon by the likes of Conan, Colbert, and Jon Stewart. Clearly you are the one on the outside.
I like all the small details like the background piano or guitar that goes with each different photo. The impeccable quick close up of the camera when buzzing just started at 6:58.
Dave's predilection for holding on to his facial fur in Present Day, now becomes abundantly clear: he wants to tell anyone who 'suggests' he shave, to take a be like good dandruff and flake off. Paul and the Band did wonders with the musical accompaniment: from the menace of The Godfather theme, to shave-and-a-haircut, two bits'. Mahvahlous.
The shows that are on late night now.. is OK.. just OK.. but nothing will compare with Letterman... The Late Show will never be duplicated or nothing will come close.
Lookin' sharp Dave. My take is you look at least 10 years younger now (what was 2013 like for ya? :) ) I feel a little like I went into a time warp and the more vibrant, sharper, more alive Dave is back!
Man, I never missed an episode of Late Night. When he moved to Late Show I started my new career and did not get home until after 1130pm missing all those shows.
That was actually not a good shave. Besides the 2 cuts (lip and chin), sideburns were cut unevenly, and there were spots missed like around his lips, under the chin, and under the cheekbone. I didn't see the full bit, maybe Dave was yapping and got nicked, maybe he called it off for time.
So he just re-posted a Top 10 from the Writer's Strike of 2008. Timely indeed. Wondering what the meaning of posting this one is? Is Dave about to turn in his Santa union card?
I am 62 and had a straight razor shave once. Talk about a close shave, amazing. But, one has to go to barber college to be allowed to give a straight razor shave.
I remember watching this bit, but today I was wondering if he was gonna drink the Barbicide. I guess the props guys couldn’t find a matching liquid in time for air. 😂
Darn. I was really hoping this was his current beard that was getting gone in this video. Maybe this clip will inspire him to get rid of his drunk Santa whiskers. Maybe??
Dave as a member of ZZ Top? And lo, it came to pass. He has recently trimmed it down.😊 but honestly, the closest anyone looks today like Dave did when his beard was the longest is a man named Irving Finkel from the British Museum of Antiquities. Dead Ringer. And funny, in a British Museum of Antiquities sort of way.
If it takes you 15 to 20 minutes to shave your face, you're doing something wrong! I shave my face AND my head, and I can do it in a lot less than 10 minutes, and I don't look like I was in a knife fight...Roberto!
_"Will you hold my hand, Diane?"_ That was smooth, Dave ☺
I love that he amps up the drama of ‘saying goodbye to an old friend’.
I love that Dave can keep his beard now and he's happy!!
Paul chiming in with the Godfather waltz then sliding into Barber of Seville. 😂
Compared to his present beard, the old one was pretty tame.
Bum fluff
"crystal meth santa claus"
Yeah he looks like a bummed out talk show host out of work. lol 😂
Hard to believe he is homeless now!
@@T3gliderhe’s not homeless lol
Only Dave could do 10 minutes of comedy gold on just a shave.
Well he did say it takes him 15-20 minutes lol
I miss Rupert G.
You must have a really, really great sense of humor to think Letterman is funny.
Surely, you're that person who sees fun everywhere.

@@elcheapo9444 you must be real fun at parties 🎉
Dave took that ZZ Top one and filed it away in his memory for retirement.
Lolll that's exactly what I thought!! 😅
Dave's current look --- awesome. And when he wears a driving cap, dang!
👍🧔👀
I love Dave's sense of humor!
Dave, always with the razor-sharp wit.🪒
I saw what you did. lol
'Will you hold my hand Diane?'
I was expecting better from professionals.
When I saw the title I thought "Finally!". Then I remembered he did this when he was still hosting "Late Show"......
Dave's Beard: Endgame
His wide eyed recoil when she turned on the clippers cracked me up! 6:58
The irony on the 'ZZ Top' photo at 1:53 is not lost 😂
Yup! 😂
One of the best moments in Letterman history. I remember watching it and laughing hysterically.
Same here.
1:45 that picture came true he now looks like Dave as Santa 😁I'd like to see him clean shaven again.
Never babble when a barber is using a straight razor. We miss you Dave!
Diane was a treat. Lucky Dave! That look she gives at 9:27 🥰
I know , right...She was a hot little firecracker !!
Do you guys know what she's up too today or who she is?
I’m the guy who bought the beard "shavings" off eBay!
Made a pretty penny off them afterwards… A pretty penny indeed!
Good Story. 🤡
In the end, Dave got the last laugh. Dave became Santa
I like all the small details like the background piano or guitar that goes with each different photo. The impeccable quick close up of the camera when buzzing just started at 6:58.
I remember Will Ferrell shaving off Conan’s beard; turns out that Dave did it first - and better. Why am I not surprised? Dave is the OG!
Dave was/is a leader in comedy. Others just followed.
David Letterman, you always made me laugh in a way that only you could make me laugh. Bravo, sir.
The only member of ZZ Top without a long beard? The drummer Frank Beard

HI (knowing how he looks now... you know he wanted to keep that beard)... Dave!!!
The Rossini in the background is a nice touch. Paul really knew his stuff.
This length actually flatters Dave quite well.
Loosing the beard made you look 15 yrs younger. Great Job!!
The shows that are on late night now.. is OK.. just OK.. but nothing will compare with Letterman... The Late Show will never be duplicated or nothing will come close.
Lookin' sharp Dave. My take is you look at least 10 years younger now (what was 2013 like for ya? :) )
I feel a little like I went into a time warp and the more vibrant, sharper, more alive Dave is back!
Those guys had to have patience. Dave is a wild animal!
Yes! Dave was the only guy who could get away with shaving on the air. Okay! Conan did it, too, but Dave is a legend.
I miss Dave a lot more after watching this!
but the jimmies and that loser.
Spoiler: it grows back tenfold. Also he becomes more serious. But on-demand.
lmao when dave says no, no then cracks a smile when he realizes what was said
The ZZ Top beard looks pretty accurate today
JC! What this man did for a laugh. Getting cut up. Drinking fish sauce. Da beard!
Little did they know that Dave would have a ZZ Top beard 12 years later
Man, I never missed an episode of Late Night. When he moved to Late Show I started my new career and did not get home until after 1130pm missing all those shows.
Roberto is a perfect name for a barber, isn’t it?
Or Floyd.
1:42 Literally Dave now. Lol
Dave opted for the ZZ Top.
Dave as ZZ Top member is basically Dave now.
And just for a moment the blood is clotted 😂
“Mind if I loosen my belt?” doesn’t go over so well today.
Time to do this again, Mr. Letterman! On a all new episode of the Barbara Gaines Show!!!
What a surprise, David get rid of his beard.I thought that he's getting become Santa Clause.
I love you, Dave! 😂❤
Nice to see that Dave is going hard for the zz top look
That beard looks like a 24 hour stubble compared to now?
Dave’s current beard is awesome. Retirement agrees with him but I’m glad he teamed up with Barbara.
So Fallin keeps getting his 'ideas' from Dave. The true OG.
1:56 a short glimpse into the future.
That was actually not a good shave. Besides the 2 cuts (lip and chin), sideburns were cut unevenly, and there were spots missed like around his lips, under the chin, and under the cheekbone. I didn't see the full bit, maybe Dave was yapping and got nicked, maybe he called it off for time.
Dave you look great.❤️🌹
This is a all time favourite of mine.

dave king of late night
Did they do a search for the cutest barbers?
Just imagine, this woman has more state-mandated hours of training than is required of police officers in 90% of states.
Probably with mandatory continuing ed. to keep her license up to date.
Not many women barbers, I hope she's doing well, as well as Roberto.
he definitely looks like ZZ Top!
Haha, I can't believed the band decided to play bazaar music to the fatwa joke 😂
Dave looks younger without the beard, wish he’d shave it off for good
His over the top fake laugh is disturbing...I could see how uncomfortable the girl felt...
I am 62 and had a straight razor shave once. Talk about a close shave, amazing. But, one has to go to barber college to be allowed to give a straight razor shave.
THE KING....After Carson,it was all Dave,,Great stuff.
I remember watching this bit, but today I was wondering if he was gonna drink the Barbicide. I guess the props guys couldn’t find a matching liquid in time for air. 😂
When can we look forward to a repeat :)?
Paul, you could have done barber of Seville 😂
Miss watching Dave on late night.
I feel like Dave's just growing hair for both he and Paul. It looks good on you mister.
Guys, most of you, just look so much younger and attractive without the beard. Not all. But Dave doesn't do a beard well. IMHO.
This was the day Dave decided to retire.
Darn. I was really hoping this was his current beard that was getting gone in this video. Maybe this clip will inspire him to get rid of his drunk Santa whiskers. Maybe??
Damn I was hoping this was a current video with 2023 Dave
Dave looks good clean shaven
I miss Dave so much☹️
Dave as a member of ZZ Top? And lo, it came to pass. He has recently trimmed it down.😊 but honestly, the closest anyone looks today like Dave did when his beard was the longest is a man named Irving Finkel from the British Museum of Antiquities. Dead Ringer. And funny, in a British Museum of Antiquities sort of way.
At about the 7:50 mark, Letterman looks like Buddy Ebsen.
When I first saw this, I was worried that maybe Dave's current beard had died.
It takes me about a minute to shave in the morning with an electric razor. 'Never cared for a beard. I'd end up with some of the food I eat in it.
Well, Dave, you’ve made up for the shearing now.
And he’s got the Jon Lennons
He should have had a modern day Jack Elam doing it with a straight edge, and asking him why he never had this guy and that guy on the show.....
Anyone remember the beard Johnny Carson grew during his vacation during the spring of 1985?
He's ended up looking like ZZ Top now. I've had a beard since my early twenties... think of all the time I've saved at 'soixante neuf'.
Old news. Just saw him at Iowa with the present beard and short haircut.
This is why I seldom shave my face now. I'll shave my head before I shave my face.
Looks way better !!!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Now he looks like David Letterman.
If it takes you 15 to 20 minutes to shave your face, you're doing something wrong!
I shave my face AND my head, and I can do it in a lot less than 10 minutes, and I don't look like I was in a knife fight...Roberto!
Great!
I forgot why he went off the air. He still had it as far as i was concerned.
Didn't know the lead singer of three doors downs was hosting the tonight show and had a shave
It's much easier to spot you in a crowd, if you aren't in Virginie.
I can FEEL her nerves….😬
Guy did a half ass shave. 🤣
