Welcome to the Letterman UA-cam Channel, home to all your favorite clips from Late Night and Late Show - as well as conversations with the writers, producers and performers who helped make it all happen. The language may strike you as quaint & flowery, the clothing comically lacey & ornate - but that’s how things were back in this colorful and now bygone era.
I’ve lost track of how many times I learned that some person of note died because this channel posted a video of their appearance on Late Night
We don't have delightful, naughty late night conversations like this any more. It's a pity.
this is marvellous, i had no idea Martin was on Letterman. thanks ever so much for posting.
lol I always see this account post on MA videos.... I respect the respect
Thank you UA-cam, where else can we instantly watch the past of the present.
Rest in peace Martin Amis.
Always good to go past to the back.
What a great way to remember Martin Amis. Dave let him have at it, as they say and it was glorious to behold.
Rest in peace dear Marty ❤
Martin Amis AND Steve Gutenberg on the same show. What a time to be alive!
Next up: Iris Murdoch and Sam Kinison
What unassuming genius, gotta love his humane wit!
Spot on...on all accounts ...RIP Sir Martin
He's not a Sir.
haven't read any of his books but after watching this interview, I'm dying to
I only read one and didn't like it that much. But that was close to 50 years ago, so I'm going to give him another try
Never heard about this guy until now, but he's great. RIP
pick up a copy of his novel 'Money'. Funniest novel in the english language and a masterpiece.
Money: a suicide note. A key novel of this, of any, century.
The minute i saw this, i knew he had died. Letterman has literally interviewed everyone
When public intellectuals used to appear regularly in public. Thanks and goodbye to him.
He wasn't an intellectual
This is yet another reason why Letterman's show was one of a kind. People spoke their minds on his show, and so did Dave.
actually, he let them speak their minds😅, Dave doesn't say what his mind is 😌, extremely professional...🎙️
@@Nicolas-uu3jr Interesting.

@@Nicolas-uu3jr Wait. Did you see some of his rants?
@Kung-E Muller ...he's no Carson..., but no one is..., or will be😏😒
RIP. His dad Kingsley Amis was just as famous.
Yes . In his time he was. But not nearly as good a writer as Marty. But then again no one ever was or is.
That famous Amis sentence. Can’t think of any writer - alive or dead - that’s ever come close to writing an entire book of fabulous sentences and then done that again and again and again, year after year, decade after decade
Just consider : London Fields. The Information. Experience. Inside Story. Night Train.
The mark of a great book is anything U re-read over and over again
Martin amis wrotr some slop, not least Lionel Asbo.
Martin is now throwing down a pint with Hitch in St Peter's Pearly Gates Pub.
I think they'd both rather be somewhere else 😂
The famous Amis sentence. Can’t think of any writer - alive or dead - that was able to write an entire book of fabulous sentences. Consider : London Fields, The Information, Experience, Inside Story.
With Martin Amis it was always a case of : Better get your Dictionary out. U knew U were going to be entertained (wonderfully) but also informed (usually about the underclass and the very rich) …. even dare I say it : Educated.
The mark of a great book is anything worth re-reading again and again and again …. Amazingly …. Just about anything by Martin Amis
Amis and Hitchens were quite close, very close indeed
Gee I was wondering why this interview was on my feed and I'm learning he died 4 days ago. Saw nothing on the news. Loved his essays throughout the years.
Gracias Martin por tu legado, hus libros y criticas, descansa ahora campeon😢 vuela al cielo que te espera RIP
Goodnight, little Keith.
Ah, Thatcher, Bush I and Quayle…what I wouldn’t give to go back to the quaint days of those types of conservatives compared to the frothing lunatics we’re saddled with now.
Hear hear
TERRIFIC! Brilliantly funny!
Yes when changing those diapers you either throw up or cry. I did actually put a clothespin on my nose a few times to get through it.
He was totally correct regarding Thatcher. What an evil piece of work she was. No humanity in her whatsoever.
YES WE CAN "imagine it in America!"
5:45 who would imagine that this degree of inarticulacy would be trumped as it were!
Vicious… 🔥🔥🔥❤
Clearly, this was a few years before Dave had his child.
Loved Martin. Loathed Margaret.
Never realised how short he was
Amis was best known for his narrow defeat at Lakeside by defending champion Bob Andersob
Great Martin
Friday 6th July 1990
RIP
Oh for the days when celebrated authors were celebrated on late night TV. Thanks, Dave! (And yet, while I clicked particularly to hear the diss on Thatcher, questioning her womanhood feels unworthy. Some people are just rotten, whatever their chromosomes.)
I wish he wouldn't keep swapping between saying British and English. It confuses the colonials.
He doesn't? That's a load off my mind.
Thatcher was the BEST thing that happened to the UK EVER!!!
Utter balls.
Wow, Martin was so right that we Brit's only understand things that are bad for us...
Boring gentleman, Thatcher was way more entertaining.
Sorely missed. Was hoping for more, maybe an anti-woke final salvo.
Then you are a dimwit.
Margaret Thatcher was a STRONG an EXCEPTIONAL leader!! Thank God for Margaret Thatcher!!!
I doubt even god likes the picture of her buddying up with Jimmy Saville.
Too bad his old man loved her.
Indeed he did. Kingsley Amis was pretty much with Philip Larkin on the subject of Thatcher: "Oh I adore Margaret Thatcher" - Philip Larkin.
😂 naughty man!
Boring topic and someone changed/cleaned up yours! 🥱🙄🧐
RIP Martin 😞
“John Self is addicted to the twentieth century.” Rest in peace MA, you will be sorely missed.
Brexit - the solution to a problem that never existed - Martin Amis (RIP)
Oh wow! Fantastic.
RIP to the legend
True (and delightful) story: When Thatcher died, "Ding Dong the Witch Is Dead" went to #2 on the UK singles chart. That's how hated she was.
Gosh, Martin was funny - such dry wit. Much missed.
Marty smashed it in this one.
From Maggie to brexit tale
I could never understand what Martin's best mate Christopher Hitchens saw in Thatcher sexually. She wasn't particularly feminine in the way I want my women to be as Martin alludes to. Anyway RIP Martin.
Domination.
