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
Elaine is beyond brilliant in this sketch, completely playing it straight, which makes it even funnier. This woman was such a force of nature.
This is peak Dave - totally random, unexplained and completely funny,. Plus, it’s freaking Elaine Stritch.
Man, that is what is called "presence". Elaine Stritch speaking. That was impressive
Let's get one thing straight skippy: what a force of nature Elaine Stritch was :-) Owning the show the moment she stepped on stage, like she owns the place. Just brilliant.
Elaine Stritch is an ICON.
I cannot believe that I just tripped over this! It’s magical.
No one better than the great Elaine Stritch
I saw this clip years ago and loved it. Then it disappeared. Thank you for bringing it back. It’s my absolute favorite!!!
Genius at work. Stritch's paw prints all over the writing too; who else could come up with drawing room comedy schtick? God, I miss her. The woman was an EVENT.
Elaine is fantastic in this, but I doubt she wrote it.
Why?
so damn grateful for the legend Elaine Stritch!
"Let's get one thing straight, Skippy!"
An excellent bit with two legends. Peak television.
Miss this Awesome Lady! Loved her performances on 3rd Rock From The Sun, 30 Rock and the Movie Screwed.
That was wonderful to watch. Great actress ! Dave's reaction 🤣. Miss him every night compared to what we have now.
How great! Elaine Stritch on Letterman. Hilarious.,
The total random chaos of this absurd clip is wonderful. More importantly, Elaine doesn't play this for comedy, she's deeply sincere. She plays this like a dramatic piece, which makes it far more hilarious.
Elaine Stritch is so great.
This is classic, vintage Elaine: piss & vinegar spewing violently from every pore, offset by moments of softness & vulnerability, abruptly & jarringly searing a dose of fear in your soul...and all of it with a HUGE laugh! What a dame!
One of the truly greatest moments ever on late night television
Just another example of Letterman’s genius. Instead of having her as a guest, they wrote an episode-long bit for Elaine Stritch and she delivered it in spades.
Delivered completely 100% straight! She was a pro.
You're not a kid anymore, Skippy. I don't think you'll ever be a kid again, kiddo.
She's tall enough to be your Mother........
I've never seen this one ... one of the funniest clips
Jack's Mom on 30 Rock. Comedic Genuis
Elaine Stitch brings her projecting voice and classic melodrama to the Late Show. I remember this hilarious montage, and came here from watching 30 Rock
I love how they finally figured to hold the door for her. Making a lady go through a crash bar, I mean really. Loved her embellished pickups and waiting for the audience beats. She played it just right. Of course.
LEGEND! I can't believe i forgot all about Ms Stritch sketch on here. Is this where Dave started to use the name "Skippy" a lot.
.
"Dear Penthouse"...
.
this is genius
Reminds me of the character she played in the movie Screwed, hilarious
That's how a legend does it!
loved her in 30rock
Omg how funny!
I love the David Letterman show!
It's so very sad - pitiful actually - that there are other commentors here who just don't get the satirical wit displayed in this video by the forever outstanding Elaine Stritch!!!
Extraordinary ELAINE STRITCH!!✨❤️🔥
Would have been really funny if they'd added a real pool scene with Dave and Paul cleaning out her pool.
Oh my god I am dying
Hahahaha!! Elaine!!! This is hilarious!!! How did this pop up so randomly 😂
My great aunt Jean reminded me of Elaine. Had hair like hers and was very loud and well … a drinker ….
And I can hear her yelling at the tv when I’d be watching Letterman
“Turn that off!!! I can’t stomach him!!! Look at that greasy hair! Blech!!!”
😂😂🤣
Still die of laughter thinking of it. She died 12 years ago. But I can still hear her yelling and laughing. She was something else. But everyone said she reminded them of Elaine Stritch
What a combo. Elaine is flat hilarious.
Did Skippy ever find her riding crop?
Magnificent. 😂😂
Brilliant just brilliant , I miss late night when it was actually funny.
I would love to see clips of Lyle the Intern Guy.
I'm reading her book, Still Here, what a hoot!!!
the Queen of NY - complete with Chanel belt
I love love her. Iconic
Great acting great characters
Elaine Stritch is hilarious 😅
I think it was a little sad that as soon as she appeared, she did not get a rousing round of applause. I think a lot of people in the audience did not know who Elaine Stritch was, which is pretty pathetic. If you never saw her in Woody Allen's "September," she stole that film!
i dont know her but it was great anyway
Clearly not a musical theatre crowd in the Ed Sullivan that night.
Talk show audiences are usually prompted to clap etc., by flashing signs just in case theyre not familiar with guests. Clearly, Daves team didnt do their job, but Elaine was on point as usual.
Saw some of her hilarious performances on YT from Tales of the Unexpected by Roald Dahl. Now YTs algorithm churns up more, much to my delight!
"September" - thanks for mentioning. Claustrophobia at it's artistic zenith.
Check her out in Screwed as well, with Dave Chappelle, Norm McDonald and Danny DeVito.
I remember watching this when I was 13 and being completely confused. I didn't enjoy it then, but now I get it, lol. RIP Elaine.
We went from this to Jimmy Fallon, who plays Pictionary and cracks eggs on his forehead. Hilarious.
LEGEND!!!!
Elaine is the best !!!
Omg, never saw this before - this is hysterical!
She was so great! So funny! 😆❤ rip Mrs. Stritch
Excellent.
More please!
I’m utterly confused and bamboozled
Llllllove Elaine and Skip!
lol at Dave actually listening to the French at the end to see if he misses anything
OMG! Take him down, girl!! Skippy the Pool Boy
I think Dave is coming back!
“Don’t get up. You’re no gentleman.”
Pure delicious lunacy.
A real lady
She is missed
Let me trim his beard!!!!! I miss his face lol.
Fantastique mon petit Dave 🙄 uh Skip.😘
And, Baby that's why I love you.
(Show Boat) 💙🙏🌼
who wrote this gem?
I would guess his writers.
That millionaire property owner will be screaming pool boy and Dave will be on the deed if she’s not careful
I want to be friends with Eleanor.
mama… this is camp
She’s terrifying! Lol
Delicious.
God back when late-night was actually funny and not complete bullshit propaganda.
Imagine thinking lake night talk shows is propaganda, lmao.
That has to be the worst skit ever on his show
Brilliant
@Jim Moses
Whatever you say, Skippy! 🥱🤔🤫😏
@@michelenichele294
Lol
Actually, one of the very best.
Obviously it went way over your head.
