@@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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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. 😂
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.
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.
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??
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 ☺
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 🎉
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 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. 😂
I love that he amps up the drama of ‘saying goodbye to an old friend’.
Dave took that ZZ Top one and filed it away in his memory for retirement.
Lolll that's exactly what I thought!! 😅
I love Dave's sense of humor!
1:45 that picture came true he now looks like Dave as Santa 😁I'd like to see him clean shaven again.
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! 😂
Dave's current look --- awesome. And when he wears a driving cap, dang!
👍🧔👀
'Will you hold my hand Diane?'
I was expecting better from professionals.
Dave's Beard: Endgame
Dave, always with the razor-sharp wit.🪒
I saw what you did. lol
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.
One of the best moments in Letterman history. I remember watching it and laughing hysterically.
Same here.
I’m the guy who bought the beard "shavings" off eBay!
Made a pretty penny off them afterwards… A pretty penny indeed!
Good Story. 🤡
Never babble when a barber is using a straight razor. We miss you Dave!
When I saw the title I thought "Finally!". Then I remembered he did this when he was still hosting "Late Show"......
In the end, Dave got the last laugh. Dave became Santa
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.
The only member of ZZ Top without a long beard? The drummer Frank Beard
David Letterman, you always made me laugh in a way that only you could make me laugh. Bravo, sir.
HI (knowing how he looks now... you know he wanted to keep that beard)... Dave!!!
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.
Spoiler: it grows back tenfold. Also he becomes more serious. But on-demand.
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.
I miss Dave a lot more after watching this!
but the jimmies and that loser.
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!
1:42 Literally Dave now. Lol
Loosing the beard made you look 15 yrs younger. Great Job!!
This length actually flatters Dave quite well.
Little did they know that Dave would have a ZZ Top beard 12 years later
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.
And just for a moment the blood is clotted 😂
The ZZ Top beard looks pretty accurate today
JC! What this man did for a laugh. Getting cut up. Drinking fish sauce. Da beard!
The Rossini in the background is a nice touch. Paul really knew his stuff.
lmao when dave says no, no then cracks a smile when he realizes what was said
Roberto is a perfect name for a barber, isn’t it?
Or Floyd.
Those guys had to have patience. Dave is a wild animal!
Dave opted for the ZZ Top.
When can we look forward to a repeat :)?
I love you, Dave! 😂❤
Dave you look great.❤️🌹
Dave as ZZ Top member is basically Dave now.
“Mind if I loosen my belt?” doesn’t go over so well today.
Dave’s current beard is awesome. Retirement agrees with him but I’m glad he teamed up with Barbara.
What a surprise, David get rid of his beard.I thought that he's getting become Santa Clause.
Time to do this again, Mr. Letterman! On a all new episode of the Barbara Gaines Show!!!
THE KING....After Carson,it was all Dave,,Great stuff.
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.
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 beard looks like a 24 hour stubble compared to now?
This is a all time favourite of mine.
Nice to see that Dave is going hard for the zz top look
So Fallin keeps getting his 'ideas' from Dave. The true OG.
dave king of late night
Did they do a search for the cutest barbers?
1:56 a short glimpse into the future.
Paul, you could have done barber of Seville 😂
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. 😂
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.
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?
he definitely looks like ZZ Top!
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.
At about the 7:50 mark, Letterman looks like Buddy Ebsen.
Miss watching Dave on late night.
11:04 Who is making that sound?
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.

Dave looks younger without the beard, wish he’d shave it off for good
I miss Dave so much☹️
I feel like Dave's just growing hair for both he and Paul. It looks good on you mister.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Isnt there an episode (of Late Night) where Dave gets a shave from Enrique? That's a clip I would like to see!
When I first saw this, I was worried that maybe Dave's current beard had died.
I can FEEL her nerves….😬
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??
His over the top fake laugh is disturbing...I could see how uncomfortable the girl felt...
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.
Great!
Guy did a half ass shave. 🤣
Dave looks good clean shaven
This was the day Dave decided to retire.
Anyone remember the beard Johnny Carson grew during his vacation during the spring of 1985?
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.
Well, Dave, you’ve made up for the shearing now.
And he’s got the Jon Lennons
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'.
9:26 good edit....
Old news. Just saw him at Iowa with the present beard and short haircut.
Looks way better !!!
This is why I seldom shave my face now. I'll shave my head before I shave my face.
Finally. Thank goodness.
Damn I was hoping this was a current video with 2023 Dave
Didn't know the lead singer of three doors downs was hosting the tonight show and had a shave
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!
stop it around here 9:01 .. Jed Clampit from Beverly hill billys
