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. These highlights have been artisanly-produced, carefully-curated, and chosen completely at random by an old computer that used to pick numbers for the New York Lotto back in the 90’s. - Zábava
LMAO Paule is literally Paulie at all times. The rest of the cast look like normal people but Paulie lived the character.
Because he's from Bensonhurst Brooklyn and knew this life
He was an associate of the one of the 5 five families. Gambinos, I believe.
He wasn't acting
@@elbronco80 I think he was involved with the mafia but he was not a made man.
@@tommyhaynes9157 Sammy The Bull was from Bensonhurst as well.
For anyone wondering why the applause audio cuts out when music is being played, the band played the Sopranos theme in the studio to introduce the cast members but they don't have the rights for it on CZcams so they dubbed over it with some stock music.
Damnnnn that would of been way better
A bummer because the audience reaction to each character's appearance was great fun.
I just speculated that was the reason in my comment above.
that is wack
Thanks for giving that context. It was really annoying.
Dave is the only person in talk show history that could get the whole Sporanos cast to show up all at the same time to do that. Amazing.
All legends! TV was so much better back then in every way
@@mikey-domagala not true, TV is at a golden age now, arguably more so than back then.
@@sillygoose635 Stevie was trolling on the net one day.....
I’m pretty sure Carson could have gotten them to all show up, if he still had a show at the time.
Although this looks like the Sopranos cast members were appearing on the Letterman show stage in New York (at the corner of Broadway and 53rd Street in uptown Manhattan), this bit was likely recorded at one of the Sopranos locations where the cast was already located. They then did the bit in front of a green screen, so they could later, in post-production, appear to be delivering their lines "on stage." There was no audience and sound and applause were added later. It was nicely done, though.
James Gandolfini had so much to give us as fans. He was taken far to soon.
I liked him too, but he was a heavy smoker, heavy drinker, and just plain heavy. He was pretty much asking to be taken sooner than later, Mike.
@@chiefscheider First I'll say that I loved Roy Scheider in Jaws, Marathon Man, All That Jazz, etc, and now I'll say don't post stupid, generic, and smug comments like that. I didn't know James, but went to school with and was very good friends with the girl he dated and was engaged to be married with (back in the early 2000's), and there was way more to it than that. Us mortals really have no idea what it's like to reach that level of fame, so until if and when you have that experience, you shouldn't throw your critique on it. Do you post "he deserved what he got" on John Belushi vids as well?
James had a lot of great performances still left to give us. But at least he was able to give us one of the best TV characters of all time before so ,
Like it’s crazy I’m 23 years old and got to see the whole series last year and rewatching it again but man I swear every time I see a certain movie I would think dang he would of been perfect for that role or even a side character in this other movie like not going to lie I would of love to see him play a general in a Star Wars film
@@a.i.videosandcryptoworld9025 Gandolfini was great in his small role in True Romance.
did anyone else notice that Paulie didn't break character?
That’s how he talks… he was a real mobster prior to going into acting
Paulie can't break character because he was himself in Sopranos
He was a real life "collector" back in the day.
"break character? howboutibreakyakneecaps?"
@@themusic6808 Do you know which episode they talked about Paulie?
I never fully appreciated the depth Gandolfini's brilliance in the Tony Soprano role until I saw him in interviews and other roles. It was then I realized how far away from the character he truly is. He has nothing in common with Tony, not a single mannerism. He built a very believable character out of thin air, and doing such a transformation for years without anything ever feeling false or insincere is truly a staggering achievement.
And I have an unpopular theory:
The role killed him.
@@thereisnosanctuary6184 Why do you say that?
He looked kinda like him
@@thereisnosanctuary6184 That might be an unpopular theory but I'm sure that a lot of people think it. Clearly the role took its toll on the man and he gave it his all.
@@thereisnosanctuary6184not unpopular. It’s true. To depict the despicable takes its toll.
ANYBODY GET A LITTLE EMOTIONAL SEEING THE ENTIRE CAST TOGETHER LIKE THAT? GREAT #1 SERIES ! 💯💯💯
I get a little emotional watching Tony and AJ moments
Yes but at the same time such a big smile on my face as well. It was really mixed feelings specially James and Tony are not among us anymore 😢
Oh, yeah!! Absolutely!! It was beautiful!🥺💖
Best show ever!!!!!
It’s a fun and fabulous bit! Thank goodness it was filmed while the cast was intact, which is no longer the case, I’m sorry to say. And thank goodness we can watch it over and over on CZcams.
I love how when Drea walked out, Tony Sirico checked out her arse. A real Paulie move. RIP Tony.
Who wouldn't?
@@youtert It was refreshing to see her in real down to earth clothes instead of that other junk Adriana wore.
That’s another thing you’d never hear on the Sopranos: „arse”😂
@@AlexDanston Unless you get the British English subtitles?
He already sniffed her panties lol
What an amazing segment! What a cast. Gandolfini was just such a huge loss.
huge is a good descriptor
@@triborn217people struggle with weigh issues. It’s not that easy for everyone. Amazes me people are so ignorant to the fact or worse don’t care.
Pretty much any family member of anyone has ever died with Toyota huge loss. Great observation.
Tony Sirico was hilarious always stayed in character rest in peace
He wasn't playing a character he was playing himself.
@@ascendant95 His experience in the mob made Paulie more realistic. I doubt he was as aggressive and flamboyant.
@@shrekdaddy6912 You can tell when James Gandolfini is being James and not Tony. You can tell when Michael Imperioli is being Michael and not Christopher. You literally cannot tell the difference between Tony Sirico and Paulie Walnuts lol. May he rest in peace. Buon anima.
@@ascendant95 Good Point, Commendatori
@@shrekdaddy6912 I like that. Like a commander. That's respect!
Tony Sirico when heard Michael said "Hey Paulie"😂
Would you like to buy your soul back?
The Sopranos, Letterman. We didn’t realise what we had.
I sure as hell did.
Same here.
Well said
@@coffeehigh420 agreed , that is a great question , , ,👽👍
@@coffeehigh420 yes it's like a quality loss of once TV greatness both for late night TV and for action crime drama shows , , they give us middle fingers like reboot of Magnum or should it be "tiny Hector Sanchez Magnum and the other insult to fanbase Hawaii 5-O reboot , how low is their standards that James Corden got to host established talk show , , they have made NO attempt to restore quality just brainless offerings like the "Masked Singer", and, the trash fire reboot of "Quantum-Leap" , , did enjoy ""NCIS New Orleans"" but for the majority it's only a few crumbs of quality left on Broadcast Television and that's a complete shame , , , reliable Conan O'Brien ruined his own format cut his loyal band loose ,and is wasting people's time dorking around as a Cable TV Podcast more or less , how the big have fallen indeed , so I get it , , I "feel" the emptiness of current TV entertainment , , , ,the "streaming services" don't wow me enough to keep paying for them either , , ,👽👍
"I'm not much of a gabagool man myself...." - I was hoping for Gandolfini to say something like that
That response would have been a good one! 👍
Which we know would be a false statement because Tony worshipped gabagool.
@@guymorris6596 I have to admit, "Gabagool" does sound like an ancient god that would have been cast aside by converts in the Old Testament -- or killed on Star Trek when Captain Kirk exposed it as just another computer.
He should of said “Im a big “capiacola” fan” instead of gabagool because it wasn’t said it the sopranos
Silvio loved it too.
I guess they could not get the permission to play the Soprano theme music.
Totally ruined the flow of the bit.
@@EdKazO-Vision A little. You would think with the thousands of hours of footage they have, they could have dubbed the intros over with just applause alone.
When Paul Shaffer playing a song for 5 seconds has to be replaced due to a copyright. It's clear the system is broken.
Crazy. Found another video without it and it's barley audible.
They got a thumbs down from me for that idiotic editing.
2:49 the look on Paulie‘s face 😂
Easy, Chrissy.
oooooooooh!
He's like "watch it, Chrissy" hehehe
bro hes literally paulie in real life too😂
How much more betrayal can I take!?
The more time that passes, the more perfect Aida seems for Janice.
She looks just like you would picture his sister, she sounds just like his sister, and her acting was so damn good
A woman I loved to hate and loved! She played her character masterfully!
Janice was the real psychopath on this show. She was great!
@@macwyll Yeah she was good in that role, i could not stand her, i have a cousin who is a mirror image of her down to the same mannerisms, i cant stand her either,lol
@@cherrybarb4651 Well....CERTAINLY One amongst MANY Cherry!!👼/👹
She and AJ looked like they were related
That's odd, I didn't see anybody say "tony soprano definitely had the makings of a varsity athlete"
That's a little too inside baseball for the average Late Night audience, though I think it would've been awesome.
@@I_Love_That_Movie small (comedic) brains, that's their problem
@@Johnnywiseify I think that was said in Season 6 and that hadn't aired yet.
@@macadoodle1237 that was from 5.3 "Where's Johnny". This was from either after Ade was killed off or after the finale for season 5. The former is why Drea said what she did.
2:42 ahh the old Moltesanti power walk
Aka the "Spider Walk".
They missed a good one: "What, Italian food again?"
Also: "There's no need for violence, we can hire a neutral third party to mediate."
You pretty much just reworded Uncle Junior's one and Janice's one
@@absurdrhinoit sounds nothing like what Janice said. They’re both pertaining to food. That’s all they have in common. The other one also has nothing to do with what uncle June said. I don’t know what you’re smoking
Those are both really good actually. Maybe Drea could have had a different line, hers was the worst.
I would've liked to see Frank Vincent saying: I did 20 years in the can, but that can't stop me from enjoying my golden years. 😂😂😂
Steve Van Zandt’s line was hilarious. 😂
In the modern mob, knowing Excel in order to keep track of cash flow, rackets and pivot tables of who owes point on what can actually be very valuable.
@@JinghisKhan Why do I need PowerPoint, though?
@@RideAcrossTheRivereasier to put into perspective with the presentations?
@@Cassxowary "Say hallo to my lil friend! Which is a new logo, as you see ... we hired a consultant and let's just say he gladly did it for free, if ya take my meanin' ..."
Dum...dum...dum...da da da dum is one of the finest pieces of music ever written. It's gotten me through some tough times in my life.
I kept thinking they over-dubbed it into this video because they couldn't get rights to use whatever original music was on the Letterman broadcast. It seems odd that you can;t hear the audience applauding until the music cue ends each time.
Anything know where I can download or stream "Dum...dum...dum...da da da dum"? My grandma used to sing it to me before bed every night, that song is the only thing I have left of her
Imperioli doing the power walk on from stage left was awesome
Wouldn't it be house left?
For my 60th, my wife had purchased me the entire DVD set. I couldn't imagine a more personal and thoughtful gift. Seeing the entire cast together, ( which no one but Dave could do) brought tears and sadly the passing of James and Tony. HBO's greatest achievement of all time. ☆☆☆☆👏👏👏👏
Meadow became a truly stunning woman.
Who wouldn't like to add to the cream on her mouth?
I love how Jamie already is clapping when Tony comes on and looks like it's still her uncle Paulie
He did act like an uncle to them. Any problems for Jamie or Robert they would go to Tony Sirico or James Gandolfini
I never noticed until now that Letterman says #5 for Michael Imperioli, but he was actually #3
Oh how I miss James 'Jimmy" Gandolfini. May he rest in peace.....
He was good in anything, like True Romance.
Still can’t believe it
AMEN
He was a Saint 🤧😭
He is amazing
Props to Dave’s producer and booker to get the cast for while they were in New York to do an event.
I thought Dominic Chianese’s comment was the funniest.
He's such a cool guy, and good singer, as well.
I love Sopranos. I recently finished watching the entire series for about the fourth or fifth time. Great to see the whole cast together.
Have you been listening to the Talking Sopranos podcast at all? If not, you really should find it and enjoy the interviews.
Also get the book "Woke up this Morning". Got it for Christmas as a gift. Had it finished in 2 days!
I'm watching The Sopranos for the 5th time as well.
I watched it twice
I'm watching it now for the third time, it's so perfect you can rewatch it every year.
My congratulations to Michael Gandolfini for the great job he did portraying his father's famous character in The Many Saints Of Newark.
Michael, your Dad is proud of you.
I read about him in that role but didn't get to see it. It's nice to know how it turned out, Thanks.
Gandolfini wasn't bad, the plot was just rubbish
It was terrible. He looks like a woman and has nothing to do with acting.
@@FCSD1936lol. His looks and hair are indeed a joke.
@@FCSD1936if you watch The Sopranos, Tony has a flashback to when he and Tony Blundetto were kids growing up together, and they both had long hair like that. So David Chase was just trying to stay consistent in that regard, even if a lot of the movie was a disappointment
Even though video is posted a year ago I got unexpected chills when Jimmy came out. Gone too soon never forgotten
He was a superb actor,I'm just glad they gave him the opportunity to really flex his muscles (no pun intended,lol) as a actor and he got to enjoy at least a bit of the good life before he died,some people are like that and i can relate,you get a check in the mail you weren't expecting and 3 days later you car engine blows up, never fails.
The whole cast is amazing. But seeing as james died, i have to say he was really such a talent that had so many great things ahead of him. Rest in peace.
I love the sound of their voices. It's as though a part of my youth came back to life. Thank you all for all the memories.
feel free to watch reactions to the episodes and series (:
or the episodes
Exactly my thoughts
Paulie’s face after Chrissy “ ohhh Calm down. Im no finook “
The fact that this episode was made the day after Long Term Parking aired lmfao
The Sopranos was so awesome! We miss you James Gandolfini!!!!!
Man, I felt like crying, watching that! It was like seeing old friends again.
Still one of the best shows ever. If you never seen it take a week off of work and watch it it's A-blast
A week? There´s 86, 1-hour long episodes! Good luck watching it all in a week - try three months.
also, you’re not from the US/canada, are you? good luck taking a day off if you’re actually deathly sick, let alone…
@@Cassxowarytrue man, this show is for unemployed people or privileged employed people that work 6 or 4 hours a day maybe other than that maybe students but their attention span won't handle a show like better call Saul or the sopranos
We'll never see a series as great as that again. It's at top of the mountain.
It's actually number 2 after The Wire but close enough
@@gavinbrando8255 Too many Knickkers on The Wire.
@@orionsentry all Sopranos had was them 2 black guys that ran that way 👉
@@gavinbrando8255 the wire is not number 1 just grow up a bit
@@gavinbrando8255Breaking Bad recently passed the wire on a lot of lists for #2…. Behind the Sopranos!
Only Dave could bring in that constellation of talent.
I love how the #1 line was so gleefully said.
All funny! Great to see all, especially the late great Mr. Gandolfini.
R.I.P. James Gandolfini (September 18, 1961 - June 19, 2013).
Paul Schafer never had the makings of a varsity athlete.
That would be "varsity", Chuckles. Variety is something completely different.
@@chiefscheider whadda getting cute with me now? Autocorrect, anyways 4 dollars a pound.
@@chiefscheider now gogetchashinebox!
@@chiefscheider They were all meat eaters
Michael Imperioli with that Vince McMahon power walk 🤣🤣
The Paulie / Chrissy interaction is GOLD!
I gotta say, I'm glad Letterman youtube channel is posting these old clips!
Brilliant. Miss this show and all the greatness that left us too soon.
Did I just watch the entire Sopranos cast show up for a talk show comedy skit???
Incredible.
Paulie nailed it 😂😂 .. rip man
I re watched Sopranos again this year. Ahead of its time minus pc for sure
I miss James Gandolfini so much! That show was awesome!
“I’m full”😂
I own the whole series on dvd!
Great to see the whole cast altogether once more. Miss em' all. Best wishes🙂
You ever have any issues wit the DVDs? man i did,specially season 6, several were bad, a buddy of mine, his mom had died and she had the series so he just gave me season 6 as a gift since he wasn't interested in this show,it was also bad, then i bought ANOTHER copy on ebay, bad also,just gave up on it,lol.
I have probably 500 DVDs and that series was the worst in quality,maybe i just had bad luck.
Upon reflection, the greatest cast ever assembled to perform on the small screen
"I just whacked myself" - they really missed an opportunity by getting Vito Spatafore to say this line.
I miss watching David Letterman at night. There used to be so much good late night TV years ago.
I know right.
SAD Really....ONLY Show Tolerable & REFRESHING is Gutfeld now!!....
A great moment in tv history! 8MM was such a great movie as well for Mr. Gandolfini, dark but great!
BEST SHOW EVER HANDS DOWN AND JAMES GANDOLFINI WAS JUST INCREDIBLE, SOMEHOW IVE NEVER MET HIM BUT I STILL GET UPSET WHEN I SEE STUFF LIKE THIS KNOWING HE WAS TAKEN FAR TOO SOON. R.I.P. JIMMY
Man, I love all these actors
You seen Tony Sirico do the Surprised Paulie face at 2:50 when Michael Imperoli calls him out😂😂
I just finished watching the series a couple days ago, it was amazing! I love this list. 🤣
I’m dying over here! Walnuts stole the show! Rest in peace Tony. You were real right up to the end.😎
you mean Paulie lol but yah
I've used the "Sopranos" theme before in something and Sony claimed ownership, so I get it. (Even though I'm pretty sure Sony isn't the rightsholder).
LOL ! This is the first time I watched this !😂 And It's Halarious !
RIP James Gandolfini
RIP Tony Sirico 🙏🙏
I had the pleasure of meeting Michael Imperioli in Santa Barbara at an art auction event in early June 2013. I said a quick hello and told Michael that I had just watched the "Pine Barrens" episode. He smiled and said "that was a good one". Fun night. Mr. Gandolfini died two weeks later on June 19th (my birthday).
Dear God, Jamie-Lynn Sigler was hot (and still is btw)
thanks for saying it for me
her ass had the makings of a varsity athlete. seriously, i got excited when i saw the Super Bowl commercial thinking they were rebooting the series, but they wouldnt without Gandolfini.
@Mark Mac Why would you even want one? They told a perfect story. Nothing more needed. The Mant Saints of Newark proved that
I miss the David Letterman Show so much 😢
That was the best of the best late night shows ❤
I remember seeing this back when Letterman was still on. Great memories!
Oh my God! That was absolutely priceless!!!!
Ah I fondly remember when late night network TV was worth watching. Those days, long gone, long gone.
I miss James Gandolfini... what a great actor.
The look Tony Sirico gave Michael cracks me up 😂😂😂
RIP James it's so awesome to see you again everytime
The fact that Tony Sirico mispronounced Rosh Hashanah just made it 100 times funnier.
RIP 🪦🐈
I think his was the best line.
Never forget Pearl Harbor…
I remember watching this the week they killed off the Adriana character, and I jumped up and pointed at the screen, TOO SOON!
Silvio was a barracuda and ruthlessly whacked her in the woods. She was down on her knees crawling too. " Ohhhh barracuda...."
That was great acting by Drea and Steven in that scene. Drea really captured the look and terror of someone realizing her time is up in that scene.
That was the funniest top ten in Letterman history , fuggin ' great !
I can't believe I am just now seeing this. Amazing 👏👏👏
Letterman always with the scenarios!
That was awesome!! 😂
I miss James Gandolfini, gone way too soon.
I miss him too. The Castle was an excellent display of his range. Seeing them all together again like that this many years later was an uplifting moment. I miss them all.
The Last Castle, that is.
What an all star cast. And what an amazing show - The Sopranos.
RIP James Gandolfini.
Would you like to buy your soul back?
Gandolfini's line is just mindblowing. Like what???
Good old times. They would never be another cast like the sopranos!!
Man I love the Sopranos and all of the characters, currently doing a re-watch and it still holds up. My favorite show of all time.
The way Tony immediately turns into Paulie when he hears his name, haha.
Did they really have to censor the music? Even on DL’s own channel? Wow.
Greed.
That was top quality comedy! I miss Dave. . .
Oh man! 😹
The Sopranos, television at it’s peak. An absolutely amazing show. RIP James Gandolfini and Tony Sirico.
Just now watching that series ... what a great cast!
Did Dave get a little flustered by so much intimidating star power for one top ten list? (He says "number 5" just before the reading of number 3)
Nah, it's a Monty Python reference
you stutter a bit when you owe Paulie money.
I've gotten into this thing of watching Letterman's past Top 10 lists from different years and it, is by far, more entertaining than anything that current late night crap talk shows spew out every weeknight.
I love that when James comes out they all genuinely look so happy to clap for him:) he was such a lovely man, I wish we had him for longer 😢
2:19 said on the Letterman show that aired the day after she was killed off on the Sopranos. Jamie-Lynn's laugh says it all. 😂🤣
Such a great show. And like the beginning such a great sound track. Top ten was so iconic. I don't remember all the scenes of the show. One character I had to look up because he looked like bill barr. On the actress wanted a better part. I remember crying because it was such a tough scene. Holding on to the car for dear life.
Sometimes James Gandolfini and Will Sasso look like twins
Watch Justified S5.
Two big fat Italian blooded guys.
I have to watch sopranos once or twice a year. I'm watching it as I'm typing this
This was so good .#3 was superb.
Junior was my favorite! Cracked me up. You don’t have the money? 😡 That’s cool. 😊
Paulie is the most iconic character ever. I don't care what anyone says. I know, you know it, everybody knows it.
He was the best,that voice cannot be duplicated,lol
