    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 artisanally-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.

      That’s because it actually wasn’t part of GMIPS. It had aired two years before the near-daily segment had begun.

    I used to hear Dave say that Vassar thing, never knowing what it was about, but laughing because it was hilarious the way he said it. Now thanks to the miracle of CZcams, I now understand. Great stories, I love how a common thread is emerging about how Alan Kalter made everything funnier. I never didn't laugh at him.

    After all these years I finally feel less stupid for having poured water into a coffee maker, and then the carafe in the kitchen sink. The guy visiting at the time looked at the mess, and me, afterwards like I was complete numbskull. Many thanks for the story, Tom.

    I really want to see a compilation of Dave's "old turkey buzzard" fixation. Does anyone remember that?? It was mid-2000s, like 2006, 2007, somewhere in there. It was a song that would spontaneously interrupt the show and Dave would act disgusted by it. Lol.

    Who was responsible for the two dancing girls on a raised platform behind the drummer? That long-running bit was maybe the cringyest moment in the show's history. But I can find no record of it. Starting to think I imagined it. Not talking about the Will it Float girl with the power tool.
