Welcome to the Letterman CZcams 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. - Zábava
That was a nice little time capsule for popular shows of that moment.
My thought as well. It was like a geological cross-section of 90s TV. I watched most of those shows back then. Different times.
There’s so much I’d need to explain to people who don’t remember, it wouldn’t be worth the trouble.
A time capsule of "must watch" TV.
Before 'Woke' pollution.
@Random Female I guess the RWNJ Maggat squad finally got to you, eh? They use simple slogans to make you despise anything that might improve socioeconomic system and hurt the Uber wealthy.
Jerry's 'Bye Larry' is hilarious.
Yep, easy to miss but was brilliant bit of quick wit. Love it.
I heard it, but dont get it...
Larry David?
@@sawtanang he calls him "Larry" as a reference to 'The Larry Sanders Show' (which Paul also ran through a few moments earlier in the bit). It's a funny slight to Dave: Jerry didn't recognize him correctly.
@@stefanwilkinson1536 When David walks through the door Jerry says "Oh no it's my weird cousin Larry"
Really amazing a CBS talk show visiting the sets of sitcoms representing not only CBS, but also ABC and NBC. It's one thing to have one of their stars on your show, it's another to do this. Really meta stuff.
More impressive, Letterman did his show in New York while these other shows were filmed in Los Angeles. Or was Letterman temporarily taping in Los Angeles/Burbank at that time?
Hosts were not even allowed to mention another network by name, so this is surprising.
While these TV shows were on different networks, they were all shot at CBS Studio Center so when Dave took his show to LA for a week, he was on the same studio lot and that was a fun easy bit to do. It was also some of his standup friends, which I'm sure made it easier to get them onboard
Quit watching TV
“They” own all the networks and all work together don’t be fooled
What an era ! The 90’s for film & television was something else.
And music. I know every generation seems to think that whatever decade it was in their 20s was the best but for us, the 90s was it: Letterman, Seinfeld, Tarantino, Nirvana, Faith No More... The 90s were IT!
90s movies were friggin awesome but most 90s tv sucked. Not all, but most. Now days it’s the opposite, worse movies and better tv shows
Exactly, now look at us...smh.
This was great, but the '80s were really when Dave was at his best. Plus you couldn't beat Carson and Letterman back to back every night.
@Daniel Drader speaking as someone born in 1959, I'd pick mid to late 60s as the best Era overall, but 90s rock is awesome. 80s? Meh...had some good pop but the heavy rock sucked. 70s was also very good. A lot of the bands that popped up in the late 60s really came into their own in the 70s.
Visiting the sets of forgotten shows like Grace Under Fire was nostalgic.
Such a good show! All the characters were so well written/performed.
Larry Sanders too.
Can't forget Seinfeld. It's always playing in reruns somewhere.
And the great Larry Sanders Show - Hey Now!
They were all at the CBS Studio Center lot in Studio City where iconic shows like Gunsmoke, Mary Tyler Moore, Gilligan’s Island, and even American Gladiators were filmed there (Dave’s L.A. shows were at Television City).
“Oh no, it’s my weird cousin Larry…” 😂
He's doesn't recognize Paul outside of the show. That's brilliant!
Kramer!
But Dan Conner does... even though he doesn't get cable.
“Brett, have you seen Dave?”
“Not since I broke into his house.”
Brett Butler was great on Grace Under Fire
It might be a reference that a lot of people completely forgot about and her delivery of 'just let it go Paul' was great. Cybil Shepherd... not so much
@@Genious. Cybil was just being Cybil. It's not like she wrecked Moonlighting because of her own diva behaviour-oh wait.
Yeah, it's a shame what happened to her career. She hasn't done much since that show. For awhile she was cast in a very low role as a bartender for a handful of episodes on "Two and a Half Men", and the last thing I saw her on was one of the later seasons of the "Walking Dead", where she had a small role as a wife of the town's cobbler, another secondary character for a few episodes.
@@detroitdiezel7856 Wasn’t she a bartender on Anger Management?
@@kingofmadprops You are correct! I got my Charlie Sheen sitcoms confused.
So many greats in that skit. Seeing Garry Shandling hit me in the feels a bit.
Loved Garry's show. Funniest thing ever. I really miss him.
@@maryclaremayo6157 That's because they rehearsed it.
@@mdteletom1288 LOL
I liked that sienfeild show
@@maryclaremayo6157 Hey now!
The funniest part of this whole sketch is when Paul slams into Sajak's car! The look on his face, with his glasses slid down is priceless!!
When they re-showed this on one of their primetime specials, it was replaced with Paul crashing into Regis Philbin’s car while going cross-country from New York to L.A.
This sketch was joke after joke if you were living in those times, so well written.
The way Dave delivers the line: “Ohhh man don’t get me started on sandwiches!” Is priceless 😂😂 3:02
It was like a time capsule of 90s Prime-time TV.
I love that Paul went to The Larry Sanders Show. Seeing Garry Shandling, Rip Torn, and Jeffrey Tambor rehearsing made me laugh
Jeffrey Tambor? I thought that was Dr. Phil!
@@erikcchansen3280 Hank kind of looks like him, doesn't he? 😂
That wasn't Dr Phil?.
@@miket7745 no. It's Hank, Jeffrey Tambor's character on The Larry Sanders Show
The first reality show
"hey, Kramer!" 🤣 Dave's wit is unparalleled
Paul always going the extra mile to keep the show on track.
Paul probably had some piano bits to rehearse but he put the show before his own pride
What'd Jerry mean, "see you later Larry?" 3:33
@@johnjeffreys6440 He was calling Paul Schaefer "Larry" because he looks like Larry David.
Always going the extra ''Miles and More" 😉
This was before Paul became annoying!
Remember when late night TV's main focus was to entertain you? Boy....those were the days.
ooooh archie... :)
What? You're not entertained by the divisive late night political activism these days?
@@MrStkrdknmibalz9799I certainly am!! 😃
I was impressed by Dave's nonchalant demeanor in that little Seinfeld skit. He could actually act.
@@Stack_Silver In one episode, where he was totally unfunny. It's hard for me to imagine how stupid the audience was, laughing at almost every sentence in that show, regardless of whether it was meant to be funny or not - unless it was a post-edit laugh track.
I'm glad this got officially uploaded. I'm glad to see it in good quality.
Gary Shandling was so underrated. "You guys ever thought about rehearsing?"
Never thought I’d say things like this but I’m 44 now and man, I miss the 90s. Things were so simple and fun back then.
"Is a hotdog a sandwich?" Would have made a great side plot in an episode.
I'd say no, it's not a sandwich. A sandwich is 2 slices of bread with meat and other stuff in the middle, being sandwiched between the slices. A hot dog bun is usually a single piece, just with flaps. It's more of a bread stuffing then a sandwich.
@@scorpiusbalthazar4327 What if I tear the hotdog bun apart?
@@DrClawizdead I'd say that'd disqualify it from being a sandwich due to the amount of manipulation.
That's a time-honored topic for discussion. Right up there with whether "Die Hard" is a Christmas movie or not. The correct answers are, "No" and "No".
@@scorpiusbalthazar4327 wienerschnitzel
Jerry calling Paul "Larry" is hilarious
One of Dave’s best skits. And he’s had a million.
Seeing Dave and Paul on the Seinfeld set with Jerry and George was like seeing Larry Bird in a Lakers uniform.
Letterman has made a small appearance on Seinfeld (The Checks - season 8) so it wasn't all that unbelievable.
The actual episode was season 8 "The Abstinence." He's canceling Jerry's appearance in the closing credits.
@@dalechristensen3640 Oh you're right, my bad. It was the Abstinence episode indeed.
I loved the look on George’s face. “WTF, another short bald guy?”
Hilarious! Dave was the king, especially on NBC. I LOL'd at the SAJAK license plate.
Seinfeld: "Oh no. It's my weird cousin Larry."
"Hey Kramer!"
THIS is the Dave I love and miss!
0:18 That guy making sure Dave doesn't trip on the cord is amazing!
This reminded of me when Conan hopped across different TV shows when he hosted the Emmys. Dave did it first! That was amazing.
You know, I think it was actually Carson who did a bit like this first when he crossed sets to barge in on Don Ricke's show (CPO Sharkey) while they were actually filming to heckle him in response to Rickle's breaking his cigarette box.
@@Kelnxyeah, and I’d argue that Carson was the only one that actually “crashed” a show. This clip looks scripted if not also partly pre-recorded.
i love john goodmans' "Tv's Paul Schaffer"
Man Letterman was my generations Johnny Carson. I use to record his show every night on my vcr lol.
Johnny, Dave & Conan are my top 3 late night talk shows. Phil, Oprah & Ellen were my top daytime shows, even if Ellen had issues late in her show career.
Mark Hamill from Star Wars fame also recorded every David Letterman show on NBC and CBS. He was a Letterman freak!!!
@@davidsharp3110 I'm glad I have something in common with my boyhood idol Luke 👍
Anybody catch Roseanne’s joke “that’s ok that’s not my belly button” The first part goes “That’s not my finger”🤣🤣🤣
Yep. She and John working "blue."
More stunt driving from Paul, please!
I cringed when he crashed the Celica. )-:
@@revolution1one me too!
I can’t even begin to describe how great this was! So many nice memories. I see why so many are fans of Dave Letterman. Creative and funny 😂
"Sandwich? Don't get me started. Is there sand in it? No. Is it made by a witch?" Dave rules.
It is so Seinfeld .
"Hey kids. What's the deal with homework? you're not working on your home! "
Straight out of Count Von Count in Sesame Street.
Totally a takeoff on Jerry’s standup.
Seeing bits like this from a show like Letterman makes me realize how bad tv has become.
I used to love late night TV, especially Letterman. Once they became Democrat cheerleaders I avoid them all like the plague.
get over it
@@frogger1952 chill
Oh come on! Just have a bit of fun without politics being forefront. Guess what Dave’s politics are, I know but who cares.
Thank god for letterman clips!
😇🙏🏽”Attitude of Gratitude” !!!🙏🏽😇
Now this was the David Letterman I liked, with the type of bits he used to do on Late Night With David Letterman.
😂😂😂
Paul should have exited in a Kramer style😂
And said "giddyup"!
This 4 minutes is better than the combined efforts of every late night host in the last 10 years.
Except Conan, you mean, because that's the only one that was good. Now we only have mediocre (Kimmel) or directly terrible (all others)
Great segment. Nostalgia overload accomplished.
Dave was the only dude that made a 90's suit look good.
That was awesome! if shows could do more of that.
That’s a bunch of edit work there. Color pallets, frame rates. Late night running at 30 fps video tape, then Sinfield 24 fps filmed in 35 mm. Not sure about the other sets but each had its own feel
It’s not a shocker that each segment was shot differently since they probably used each show’s set up instead of the Late Show’s crew and equipment. What is a shocker is the audience stayed in the theater while Paul went all over looking for Dave. Now that’s patience!
The secret to Dave’s comedy was always articulating sarcasm at what was obvious
And then Johnny Carson walks in with his Cigarette Box looking for Don Rickles again 🤣😂🤣😂
So iconic. My gawd Dave and Paul. You were the best. This flooded me with so many good vibes of days gone by.
😅😂😂🤣🤣
It’s also Paul ‘s running in hard-bottomed, leather,
👞 👞shoes
This has got to be one of the most creative skits that I've seen on television (at least I assume). I could call it a crossover between the other shows featured, but this video speaks for itself.
The Opposite of must see TV!
One of Dave's best bits! 😁😆🤣😂As someone from El Ay who actually saw Pat Sajak stand up in a movie theatre (lights were on, btw) before the movie began; and turn and face the audience so that everyone could get a good look at him---rear-ending a car wearing his personalized license plate, says it all! 😂😂
Beauty! This made my day.
The best 3, well technically 4, comedy shows of the 90’s in 1 clip. Seinfeld, The Larry Sanders Show, LN/LS w David Letterman. Epic.
I've watched The Larry Sanders show more times than I can count, but just seeing that clip makes me want to watch it all over again.
"What's the opposite of 'Must See TV'" -- Ooh, BURN!
“Hey, Kramer!”
Even did a freeze frame at the end of the Seinfeld bit. For a moment I thought we'd see credits.
Another bit of trivia on the Seinfeld part of the sketch: They used the entire Seinfeld production team, including Director Andy Ackerman. You can tell the difference in the film stock.
Love that little nugget. Dave and Jerry were always close friends, so, this was a no-brainer. Also really great of Jason to be a part of the fun.
The Rosanne portion looks to also have been a similar situation. Definitely that Roseanne filter on screen
I love how Jason is trying so hard not to laugh when Dave says "hey Kramer!"
@@jasonszabo9203 I loved that line.
One of my favorite moments of the show was when Paul dressed as The Flash for a bit. Great stuff.
3:18 Hey Kramer!
Absolutely classic among so many other classic bits!!!
Those days were the best!! No social media, no divided country!!!! Make American 1990s again!!
Loved every minute of it after seeing it after all these years
Me too!
👍😂‼️ "WORLDS ARE COLLIDING!"- George Costanza
Give Dave a few more minutes and he would have ended up on the set of Star Trek Voyager
I loved it when Dave did this! XD
I just went back in time and I DON'T WANT TO COME BACK!!!! LOVED THIS! THANK YOU❤
P.S.
I WATCHED IT TWICE(teehee)😁😜😝
It's the "Bye Larry!" that got me
I've seen this clip more than 20 years ago, glad I found it again!
Wow. Like opening up a time capsule.
Paul went all over the TV multiverse looking for David. That whole segment was surreal.
David Letterman was even better than Carson. Best of all time. 3:35- I love how Jerry says "Bye Larry" because Paul looks like Larry David so he thought it must've been him.
It's because Jerry calls Dave his "weird cousin Larry" when he first walks in
funny thing is, Paul was considered to play George since he's based on Larry David
These bits were the best. This was my favorite Dave era.
Oh. My. Goodness. This is absolutely LEGENDARY!!!! Just seeing this now for the first time and WOW just wow....the monumental logistics it must've taken to make this all happen....just WOW!!!! Does anyoe know WHAT on earth special event was this? Like was this segment done to celebrate a debut episode of the season? Or sweeps? Or The Emmys? Or....what?!?!?!
The show was taping in CA that week, at the same studio lot as the other shows
...and that's the closest Dave ever got to hosting the Tonight Show🤣
this is the kind of thing you can only do when you're number 1. even seinfeld felt a little bit intimidated when he saw Dave
I may be mistaken but, it kind of looks like a green screen on the Seinfeld part.
@@SaboSays actually could be, silly me
@@juanaltredo2974 I wouldn't say you're silly at all. I think some of the other ones are real but the sienfeld one looked kinda sus. Like it was filmed at the set but at two different times and put together. Either way, what a funny bit from classic Dave.
There was even a plot line in a Seinfeld episode where George tried to get his girlfriend interested in Letterman but Letterman was never on screen. It felt like Seinfeld (the show) was still beneath the late show at the time
@@bobxyzp Back then the networks were all *very* uptight about doing anything that might seem like a promo for a show on another network. I’m surprised CBS let them do this
Wow, I never saw this. But this is exactly the kind of Letterman bit I love. The early CBS years were fantastic.
For possibly the only time in the show we catch a glimpse of Paul's eyes at 1:16 lol
LOL Jerry said, "Goodbye Larry." Calling Paul Schaffer Larry David.
Did anyone notice how when they were leaving Jerry Seinfeld referred to Paul Shaffer as Larry as in Larry David
Missed this! Great to see it here, like forever now.
Ok wow this is absolute gold. Never seen it before. It blew my mind
Who knew Paul Schaefer was a stunt driver?!?!?
Well, he is one of the original Blue's Brothers band members!
This is the greatest clip I have ever seen in my life. 😂❤
This when Dave did his show "from CBS Television City in Hollywood" in May 1994. That's not the Ed Sullivan Theater. Paul was running outside TV City before all those walk ons. Those giant studio doors are found at CBS TV City.
I'm surprised, I actually thought this was from his NBC days because Seinfeld was an NBC show. Then again I think Roseanne was on ABC so I guess CBS didn't mind him promoting their competition.
@@MandrakeMoorglade Letterman's nod to Hollywood and television.
2:28 "thats not my finger. .......thats ok, thats not my belly button" 😂
Hilarious and pure Dave and Jerry. I don't think I ever saw that episode!!
Jerry: “What's the opposite must see TV?” (points to David Letterman who just left his apartment)
Oh, dont get me started on sandwiches.....that's gold, Dave. Gold!!!
"Bye Larry" LOL
btw a hotdog is definitely not a sandwich. Sandwiches must be square shaped - at least approximately - and relatively flat. A hot dog simply isn't the right shape. It says all this in the sandwich rule book.
"By larry" had me in stitches!
Thanks for chosing this one!
What's opposite of not going too far for a gag?
Was this the first time the question of a hot dog being a sandwich raised?
We didn't have internet or social media back then so you couldn't rant online about that debate but I'm pretty sure that topic has been debated for long time since it was invented
0:29 Paul Shaefer's vest must have the most buttons of a vest I've ever seen!
"HEYYY KRAMER!" lol
3:36 “bye Larry”
“Thanks you too”
This entire segment was genius.
They should have done an alternate skit where Kramer applies as a TV show host and ends up in a live recording at the Letterman show while David is at Jerries apartment
Arguably the greatest start to a late night show in the history of television
