- By request. First, Paul's new project, Dave's speeding story, and an apology from Barbara Gaines. Then on to Viewer Mail, featuring Dave's publication covers; Tommy Casabona and ants; a Wheel of Fortune puzzle, with Darcy Hettrich, Brian McAloon and Sandra Furton; and Paul's "Avalanche Song," which he credits to writer David Yazbek.
Looking back on this, I realize that his experience telling the weather informed his sense of how to tell a story - the beats are perfect, and hilarious. Genuinely. Genius. Inspired. Singular.
I think this viewer mail bit comprises 75% of my pre-CZcams memory of Late Night. I also just subscribed to your Patreon.
Thank you!
I enjoy the music of David Yazbek. Thanks.
At long last! One of my top five favorite Dave moments, Paul's 'Avalanche!' song! And there's no way that SNL could top this Wheel of Fortune send up, which they tried to do 29 years later. Nothing beats the real thing. Thanks again, Don!
You really saw how he coached Bill Murray in his Nick the Lounge Singer performances on SNL back in the day. Dave hardly ever walked over like that to shake his hand mid-show.
So much to love in just ten short minutes.
I have the Avengers comic book with him on the cover. I’ve had it since it come out in mint condition.
“Avalanche!” goes great with Paul”s other hit, “Bermuda.”
Here’s Paul’s “Bermuda” collection - czcams.com/video/g_7TFKiWZY4/video.html
That's a 100% legitimate Avengers comic book with David Letterman. Published during what was Assistant Editors' Month.
Yeah; I have a copy. As well as the in-flight magazine. Also legit.
@@dongiller What about "Steep"? You can't be a real fan unless you have that priceless rarity.
We get letters! We get letters! We get stacks and stacks of letters! LETTERS!
Man Paul is awesome
Yeah what a great sidekick
God, they worked it, back in the day...
Legit love from Fort Wayne...and it IS after dark here ;)
Paul did his homework 🤘
I'm a bit late to this clip but does anyone recognize the drummer? Doesn't look at all like Anton and it's certainly NOT Steve Jordan.
That’s Alan Schwatzberg.
@@dongiller That's who I thought it was but his name escaped me. Long-time New York session/live guy. Thanks!
You’re one of the very few who would even recognize the name. Salut. :)
@@dongiller I just googled him and yup, it's Allan Schwartzberg alright. He was a bigtime session and live drummer, and had lots of endorsements and I remember him being in damn near every copy of Modern Drummer magazine from the early 80s/late 70s. I saw his name rather recently looking up the musicians used on "Taxi", and he was one of the drummers.
When I read "and an apology from Barbara" I immediately thought of the night before xmas.
Deconstructionism expertly demonstrated
“Shaf, Come Celebrate.”😝
"Avalanche Avalanche..."
John Davidson? More like Ted Koppel.
That line was harsh lol
Was Paul a little half cut during the taping?
BTW, I think it was Tommy in the episode with the machine gun.
That was Jimmy Fitzgerald who did all the "Technician's Corner" bits.
Don Giller oh, that's right! It's all coming back now...
Request ALERT - Please a Jeff Altman Late Night episode from 1990 or later Thank you
Fort Wayne After Dark- LOL- The most boring city in the US
