I love how they ended the Conspiracy Guy series like a beloved Broadway run had ended, complete with Chris Elliot in a smoking jacket and a girl bringing him flowers. Dave's first few years at NBC were so fresh and groundbreaking.
Right? I mean her whole family has been involved in shady doings from the get-go, as far back as when they first came to America and they... Hey, get your hands off me I'm trying to post something here, who do you think you are - let me go... Hey, he -- -
Really appreciate all of your uploads. If you are worried about getting pulled off youtube for posting full episodes, please go to dailymotion. Much more under the radar. I don't think Dave has any rights to his NBC Late Night, thats in Carson's or NBC's hands. So your uploads and a handful of others is the only way we will probably get to see this.
I remember seeing the very first one and the very last one when they first aired, but missed all the ones in between. Now here's the whole damned thing! Unbelievable.
Another Funny video Don . Thanks for sharing. Great editing, some fine work. Your collection is probably like the Carson collection stored in that underground saltmine. Just wall to wall Vhs tapes. How did you know to record so much??
Don Giller that's so cool . I never got NBC Letterman, here in Ireland. CBS Letterman is were my Letterman journey began. TV station over here picked up how red hot the whole Letterman/Leno battle was. He (Letterman) was is funny!!! Also I never realized how hilarious Chris Elliott is. I knew was funny but these clips /montages are new level funny!!! 😂
At 3:00 the gray haired guy with glases looking back at Chris Elliott. Looks like Swedish tv personlity Lasse Holmqvist. Kan det stämma fellow svenskar?
I think the plug was pulled on The Conspiracy Guy a bit prematurely. The other running gags Elliot did afterwards were good too, but surely this was the best of them. This one bit was especially funny. Nice to see it once again 7:33
THAT'S part of the conspiracy! That the bit was cut short before it had a chance to really develop. Another potential conspiracy: When they show the still photograph of astronaut Gordon Cooper, it appears that the man in the image is actually John Glenn. If I'm right, this fits in neatly with Shaffer and the shredded documents, Wendel and the money laundering, and Connie Chung's committee of 12. The conspiracy was so widespread that it even touched NASA!
But, that picture is of John Glenn! www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/98/Gordon_Cooper_2.jpg/220px-Gordon_Cooper_2.jpg&imgrefurl=en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gordon_Cooper&h=275&w=220&tbnid=zBekZolRme15zM:&tbnh=160&tbnw=128&usg=__BafuZOYwmeMqhScGzEjuB8KueAk=&vet=10ahUKEwic6YP0xMPWAhWqr1QKHccoA0cQ_B0IsgEwEw..i&docid=Jl84XjYFUyV6IM&itg=1&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwic6YP0xMPWAhWqr1QKHccoA0cQ_B0IsgEwEw
Chris Elliots was inspired... he tapped into something... he was the GOAT... I think they call it"the zeitgeist" not mention Calvert Deforest, Hal Gurney and Bill Wendle... Dave was surrounded by geniuses
5:47 Paul and Dave establish the date as Wednesday, December 7th. The problem here is that December 7th was a THURSDAY in 1983! The conspiracy guy was definitely on to something!
Anyone know if the Conspiracy Guy character was based on Harvey Pekar? If memory serves, Letterman once had to shut down an interview segment with Pekar after he let loose on GE. I adore Chris Elliott -- for sure one of the funniest persons ever--but the conspiracy guy was probably my least favourite of his characters. That and the end of the Brando days, when Letterman cut short a skit that was just silly. Bananas!
Dave's show was so refreshingly funny and original in the 1980's. I wish all celebrities would keep their political opinions to themselves, and not use their celebrity as a soapbox.
They're citizens too. And as citizens, they have every fucking right to criticize an administration they're unhappy with under the first amendment of the constitution.
What a timeless approach. Just have the subject escorted out by well dressed in-shape guys in dark glasses. Alas, doing the same thing to his neighbor in the audience was, by comparison, a general turdblossom for Chris to use in adorning his tired conspiracy-bashing gag, (which I incidentally hate.) More fake shrimp, please!!!
@@baldwinwallace4926 You mean the guy who committed suicide even though conspiracy morons,and Clinton haters,think otherwise? Check the real facts,he offed himself.
I think the perfect ending to this would have been right as the three of them sit down next to Dave Dave decides he's going to reveal what the big conspiracy is and just starts to get started talking and suddenly it says "please stand by"...
I love how they ended the Conspiracy Guy series like a beloved Broadway run had ended, complete with Chris Elliot in a smoking jacket and a girl bringing him flowers. Dave's first few years at NBC were so fresh and groundbreaking.
Another great collage. Was saving this one. Thanks again, DG.
Sandy Frank's work in The Fugitive Guy was amazing! I can't believe there wasn't a spin off.
"Shaffer and the shredded documents" :)
The "apology" and Hal Gurnee's "okay, we got it, take him downstairs" was gold! 7:17
these bits are the best. thanks for all the uploads.
I miss Chris Elliott! He was so freakin under rated!
did you watch Schitt's creek? he is hilarious!
He shoulda been big. Cabin Boy basically blacklisted him. I actually liked it. It was like a stupid cartoon. It was ahead of it's time.
Cabin Boy was equal to Tom Greens Freddy Got Fingered.
Watch him on Schitts Creek.
I always knew something was off about Connie Chung.
Right? I mean her whole family has been involved in shady doings from the get-go, as far back as when they first came to America and they... Hey, get your hands off me I'm trying to post something here, who do you think you are - let me go... Hey, he -- -
Karstens! Lol, well done, lmao
Never saw any of these before. Thanks!
Gordon Cooper calls are freakin' hilarious. One of my favorite running gags.
Here's the complete Gordon Cooper collection: ua-cam.com/video/69HXvTcBYWo/v-deo.html
I was sure this one was about to become a gag about Chris thinking the space program was faked.
Chris Elliott was ahead of the times
Dave and Chris complemented each other.
We do need to know more about Shaffer and the shredded documents.
They're behind a grassy knoll.
ohhhh the band at the end too killing it. Need an official online compilation so bad.

+New Fun Sandwich Thanks; it seems that both NBC and the Carson people either don't know or don't care. Yet. Haven't heard of dailymotion, thanks.
"Dave's Video Fun house" will never be surpassed.
The Conspiracy guy was a great routine.
I remember seeing the very first one and the very last one when they first aired, but missed all the ones in between. Now here's the whole damned thing! Unbelievable.

YES!!! Thanks for sharing!
Was this the first of the Gordon Cooper phone calls on the last Conspiracy Guy?
wecontrolthevideo it was.
“Green Room” 😆 Dave’s unexpected guest like Chris made the show
All stations should be required to play “Strangers in the Night” during the Please Stand By graphic.
Connie Chung"s Gang of 12 made the conspiracy go away. I want to get to the bottom of this.
For sure, the best days of Lettermen
The scary thing is it’s all true
Plot twist: The conspiracy guy was right.
"None Dare Call It ' Conspiracy' "
I think the plug was pulled on The Conspiracy Guy a bit prematurely. The other running gags Elliot did afterwards were good too, but surely this was the best of them. This one bit was especially funny. Nice to see it once again 7:33
They should have brought this bit back when Dave was on CBS, but I'm sure NBC would have objected. #conspiracy

Oh bloody hell, that was funny. Letterman was so damn creative.
YOU KNOW VERY WELL I'M NOT THE NEW DRUMMER
I remember the daze of smoking weed and watching Letterman at 12:30am and Chris Elliot was just an added bonus.I miss those days
I remember watching the one where Gordon Cooper called in with my college room mates and laughing our asses off.
But, that picture is of John Glenn! www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/98/Gordon_Cooper_2.jpg/220px-Gordon_Cooper_2.jpg&imgrefurl=en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gordon_Cooper&h=275&w=220&tbnid=zBekZolRme15zM:&tbnh=160&tbnw=128&usg=__BafuZOYwmeMqhScGzEjuB8KueAk=&vet=10ahUKEwic6YP0xMPWAhWqr1QKHccoA0cQ_B0IsgEwEw..i&docid=Jl84XjYFUyV6IM&itg=1&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwic6YP0xMPWAhWqr1QKHccoA0cQ_B0IsgEwEw
Oh man, I forgot Steve Jordan drummed on Letterman. That guy is a beast.
Next up on InfoWars: Connie Chung's Secret Committee of Twelve!
Chris is ahead of his time. Look at what is going on today.
Call them 'cookers' now!
He wasnt kidding in this bit
These were the days of Dave's "helmet" of hair.
the same man is always sitting next the conspiracy guy in the audience.
Chris Elliott started growing his beard somewhere between November 9th and November 23, 1983
...or so They claim...
How did I never see this?!!!!!!
90 days of pure genius!
Little did we know, but by 2016 these types would become a voting bloc...
@blessed armadillo, 8257-if only Putin and Ricky Vaughn hadn’t tricked me into voting against Saint Hilary
56% of the US by 2023
Even worse in 2024
Cookers!
Chris Elliots was inspired... he tapped into something... he was the GOAT... I think they call it"the zeitgeist" not mention Calvert Deforest, Hal Gurney and Bill Wendle... Dave was surrounded by geniuses
0:42 why is Dave's head plus hair of alien proportion here?
"I think you know who I am."
5:47 Paul and Dave establish the date as Wednesday, December 7th. The problem here is that December 7th was a THURSDAY in 1983! The conspiracy guy was definitely on to something!
Actually, no: December 7 did indeed fall on a Wednesday in 1983.
@@dongiller he's lying to you, everyone! It's a lie. All lies! Ask him about the green room. Ask him about Connie Chung's Secret Committee of 12!
Why is this guy not a superstar
This is like watching Conan O'Brien's parents do it
Laughing so hard I'm crying!
A-Ha!!! The Conspiracy Guy ends with an Astronot's thanks to the leading characters of the skit. Too funny.
Oh, wow.
If you've ever attended a small community town board or city council meeting , Chris's character is based on a real guy.
Lol the dudes in navy blue jumpsuits
Well,,, we know there is one now...
The Truth is out there
It's under the seats
They guy becomes more relevant every day
I think you know who I am
And now this is the norm in all our media.
The O.G. Eric Andre...
Chris Elliott is hilarious.
I long for days when this guy was a joke. Now he's half the country.
Wow, you said it. How bizarre is that.
You're obviously not paying attention to current events then lol
Torturing government dissenters is funny!

Unlikely; this Chris character preceded Harvey’s appearances.
hilarious character, in 1993-1994 these people were laughed at, now they run the republican party.
If you can't see it, your eyes are closed.
This entire bit predicted crazed UA-cam commenters and the lunatics we have going on right now!
Yep. Our Government never lies. The nerve of some people!
It's actually not about the government but, sure@@richardpowell1772
The conspiracy that Dave was going to be blackmailed for his affair with Stephanie? Hmmm... Not as far-fetched as we were led to believe.
I feel like I'm watching the early inspiration for Fox News.
I'd say it could also be inspired by CRT activists who insist racism is everywhere...
Chris Elliott had the conspiracy type to a tee. Now they are all over the place.
"they are all over the place"? Who's the conspiracy guy now?
@@simonbagel CRT activists.
It isn't a conspiracy to note that Connie Chung is married to Maury Povich. Need I say more?
now conspiracy theories are mainstream.
Funny because it's true!)
Last I heard he's still rotting in Guantanamo Bay.
Remember when nutty conspiracy theorists were the stuff of comedy and weren't elected President?
What have u done with The Tonite show Colbert?! That's a real conspiracy
Colbert has nothing to do with The a Tonight Show.
That's what he wants you to believe.
Dave's show was so refreshingly funny and original in the 1980's. I wish all celebrities would keep their political opinions to themselves, and not use their celebrity as a soapbox.
Did you forget about all those times he called Bush dumb and never criticized Obama?

Worded so annoyingly bad, it's incoherent
We used to laugh at conspiracy nuts now we elect them.
Tell that to Vince Foster..

House made of sports trash beautiful
Ah, I miss the days when completely wacko conspiracy nuts were considered comedy fodder instead of being given the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
Joe and Sandy as the 'uniformed goons', and Chris Elliot. Proof that America was desperate for *any* entertainment.
We are desperate for entertainment now, in these times we live in!
He was trying to expose Epstein and we laughed at him
This guy would have a popular right wing podcast right now.
And he’d be right about 95% of the time.
The original Qanon member.
What would the conspiracy guy talk about nowadays? 😸
I am fascinated by "Connie Chung's Secret Council of 12"
I think the perfect ending to this would have been right as the three of them sit down next to Dave Dave decides he's going to reveal what the big conspiracy is and just starts to get started talking and suddenly it says "please stand by"...
