    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.

    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.

    • @wilmtigers
      @wilmtigers 6 років тому +3

      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!

    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!
