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
I went to Hollywood for the first time not long after this aired; the one celebrity I saw was. . . Florence Henderson, filming a commercial at Universal Studios, so Dave was on the mark here (and RIP to the lovely and talented Ms. Henderson).
Letterman is the gold standard for late night television.
I don't know why but letterman show helps ease the mind...keep em coming..
80's 90's Letterman was the absolute best.
Agree, then he sold out and not funny anymore
Every era was awesome. His tired old dad years were legendary.
Having Florence Henderson randomly through this skit made it
That was a great Gag ! R.I.P Florence Henderson
"Kenny Rogers. Now we're gettin somewhere." I miss Dave so much.
Some of my greatest memories are watching dave back in the 90s.
There was a few times where Biff Henderson was looking for "celebrities" around New York. Among others, he managed to find Liza Minnelli, Don Rickles, Ryan Seacrest, Weird Al Yankovic, and Lennox Lewis, among others. Those were some interesting segments.
Dave was just the king of remotes. Hilarious every one of them.
So dry and hip!!! Loved their zingers! ❤️🔥
Dave was influenced by Steve Allen who WAS the king of remotes. He perfected the street cam and man on the street among a lot of other shtick he'd pull from his bag of tricks. He was truly a comedy genius.
Yeah, he used to do a ton of them. Usually the best part of the show. Then he suddenly stopped, and would send out Rupert Gee or someone instead. It may have coincided with that foiled plot to kidnap him by those guys in Montana. He, or the network, or the insurance company, may have put a stop to it.
@@clark9992 And then he had Rupert Jee stop it because he was afraid Rupert would get beaten up.
I miss Letterman and his humor!!! Glad he’s well still playing in shenanigans lol
same here.... miss him and Paul.
Too bad he doesn't look human any more.
@@adamcarrey9115 bad face lift?
@@mikemcf33 what a great duo they were on Letterman!! Every talk show host has a schtick requiring the support team :)
@@annettematisz46 Bad beard.
Letterman is the master. All must bow down.
Not Anorld Schwarznegger is Letterman's producer Peter Lassally. Very well cast in The Late Shift btw.
Florence Henderson became legend when she did the opening scene in "Shakes the Clown". Great sense of humor, and classy lady.
Almost as funny as Mrs. Cleaver's appearance in, "Airplane!"!!
Hah, always love Dave's "organic", honest, Midwestern commentary. "Hey look. It's Siskel and Evert." Hahaha, I love when he plays the dumb guy!
Notice how all late night hosts are basically non paid publicists for celebrity’s now. You don’t get true conversations just lapdog jokes and games …..Letterman was amazing at bringing out actual spontaneous comedy ❤
This was a great promotional segment for Florence Henderson though. 😆
todays late night hosts are PUPPETS for the agenda, my gods, wake up.
This routine would not be funny if performed by anybody else. Thank you so much!
I don't believe that
I think Jay Leno could have pulled it off with no problem!
Conan would nail it.
Always great to see these clips! Only made it to one show, 2007 when the authors for the Game of Shadows and Sharon Stone ? Incredible being in the audience and got a pic with Rupert at the Deli. Thanks Dave !
Correction: Episode #48, Mar.2006
A Peter Lassally sighting at 3:12!
Nice catch! I would not have recognized him as someone notable.
LOL
Came here to point that out 🙂I sure hope it was Peter's actual home, it looked nice.
Dave should have saved this skit for the Oscars. Those Hollywood big shots would have been rolling on the floor.
In the video’s description, it’s got hashtags for Florence Henderson and Bill Murray. I must say Bill was looking super Magnum that day with his mustache!
MEATLOAF I choked on my soda lol
Norm once commented that Dave changed the way people spoke, their humour and alongwith comes how they think if only in terms of humour but i think humour changes the world. Dave and Norm are my favourites.
I always thought it was Siskel that had a mustache at one point...
3:11 Peter Lasalle!
You know what I noticed now that there are smaller bits of the show is that Dave is a genius….
"Thats a big boy". 😂
Haha, this one had a little bit of a "Police Squad" vibe, love Florence Henderson. 💝
This might be the best thing ever on Letterman.
Perfect! 😆 and great cameos
dave king of late night
David Michael Letterman (12 de abril de 1947) es un presentador, comediante, escritor y productor de televisión estadounidense.
77 AÑOS.
This short clip could be a litmus test for whether people get Dave.
This is awesome - never seen it before!
This is where you can really see how Conan was influenced by Dave, absolute genius. He was sharper and funnier in the 1990s imo, his humor more well-developed.
I missed most of the early Dave stuff and most of my life was the CBS era Dave. While most people were apparently watching Jay Leno, I personally thought Dave got funnier and funnier. His rants about the boneheads at NBC and long meandering discussions about playing one bar of an Eagles song were classic. I can still watch that stuff and laugh, a lot of other comedy, not so much.
@@rocketreindeer I became a huge fan of his in the late '80s as a kid. I remember the incredible fanfare and publicity when he left NBC and started the CBS show. He was king of the ratings for a while at least. I was so angry about Leno, and really thought his show sucked, even though he had been a decent guest host on Carson before.
@@jedijones Yeah totally. My best friend's dad would only ever watch Jay Leno, and every night it was this big ritual where everything stopped so he could watch it and eat ice cream or some sh**. So I saw many miles of Jay added up over the years. Somehow I can barely remember anything from Jay's show, even though he's naturally funny, but everything from Dave. My other buddy told me Dave is natural, and most of the other shows like Jay were more canned and artificial. Seth Meyers can still fall flat, but he's the only one today I sort of look forward to because he constantly breaks and roasts his writers for writing bad jokes and stuff. Ha ha. I didn't like him then found him funnier since Covid.
@@rocketreindeer I don’t really watch the shows now. Some of the clips from Colbert I’ve seen on CZcams were okay. I just can’t believe no one is carrying on Dave’s tradition of making stars out of normal people in the crew and out in the city. Because everything is so focused on celebrities, there is no sense of spontaneity.
@@jedijones Yeah bro, I totally agree. They all have their moments, but it's not enough to look forward to. Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel can be hilarious, but their shows are mostly canned. Colbert has a great band. The only one I've grown to like is Seth, who I always thought sucked before. His skits can fall flat, but the "news of the week" monologues can be actually hilarious. Especially when he screws up or blames his writers for doing terrible jokes. Basically when it's him talking it can be super funny, and Amber Ruffin and a couple others can also be ridiculous and funny. When it's all overly directed down to every second, like you said, the spontaneity is tied down and it's just not funny. All the "ordinary" guys with Dave were hilarious, even if they were like Rupert and didn't think they were remotely funny. The whole organism of the show was funny. I just realized I said "funny" like 9 times describing how things are unfunny. Colbert has these slick cartoons and stuff and they're creative but not hilarious. "EHH!" But you may find an occasional dose of Seth funny, but not their skits, which still are also mostly kinda "EHH."
3:37 dude looks like Vic Tayback from the show Alice
Dave. ❤
Those ties are so 90s.
well im sure that big guy got teased by his coworkers for months.
It's fairly impressive they managed to find that many people who looked like some celebrities. Segment wouldn't have amounted to much if they went out and saw no one with any resemblance.
The fat shaming is hilarious 🤣
I'm surprised he didn't see Slash. I see Slash everywhere.
I think if you REALLY want to, you can find Kenny Rogers hanging out anywhere you are.
This was hilarious. 😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂 👍👍
al pacino looks like martin scorsese
"Folks, look right over there -- Wayne Newton." I did an actual spit take when he said that.
Honest to goodness...me and my husband played this as a game everywhere we went. So good David...and that shirt and pants!! Wowza
Classic Dave
shout out to Mr. Curious.
On the program tonight, we've got actor Michael Keaton, and the star of the TV show "Murder, She Wrote", Angela Lansbury. Stay tuned, we'll be right back.
OMFG Florence was so hott, serious, she got even better as she aged.
Larry "Bud" Melman!!!!
Stop it😂 so adorable 🥳
I heard Dave now has dementia, and believes he is Tom Selleck.
Unashamed about the fat-shaming, circa 1994
LMFAO
I was with Kenny that day! LOL
OH ! you were there ? With faux Kenny ??
@@otisdriftwood1697 Just joking. I was with the real one!
@Garth Shaw oh wow ! You his friend, relative ?....or a concert ?
@@otisdriftwood1697 I was his Road Manager in the 70s and 80s.
@@RoadieGarth oh nice ! That's really cool
Too bad the ABC Entertainment Center and Subert Theater were torn down and are no more.
3:11 Peter Lasally.
Fat shaming ... so 1993. :)
🕴🏻look! It's michael jackson!😆😁
😹😹😹😹😹
Is that the uncle from "Harry Potter"?
advanced comedy
When it was possible to watch late nightTV,It all is super woke now.
Here's a story. Of a man named Brady... and of course, fat is funny.
They should oiled them both up with Wesson then made Dave wrestle Mrs. Brady for a bucket of KFC.
L.A before the dark times
With Dave and Conan gone late night humor is dead.
I miss simpler times when the government was honest and we weren't about to go to war with everybody on the street that's what I miss.
never liked this guy or Leno and now every talk show is to far left and shows it
