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
This woman has been with Letterman in one capacity or another since 1980, on his daytime show, yet she still looks at him with a complete sense of wonder and anticipation. Phenomenal exchange!!
she’s such a sweetheart
he he did pork all his staffers back in the day
Barbara is so cool.
You are right! And you had a good sense to promote her. She's a good woman.
Barbara is terrific!
Dave and Barbara, the best team in comedy.
Poking his finger through is glasses and saying he didn't have time to wait at Lens Crafters.....It's the unexpected little things that make Dave's rambling stories more enjoyable and funny. Laugh out loud funny.
Barbara is a true Saint for working with Dave, continuously?, for such a long long time. Their chemistry has always been fantastic to watch.
His zingers on the show were unequaled to any other host. Paris Hilton was touting her
"invention" champagne in a can . He let her do her spiel and then looked directly at the camera and said, "See America ? This is why everybody hates us!" Absolute genius.
always enjoyed getting a glimpse of her at her podium. Dave would talk to her or ask her a question he couldn't answer or interact and she was funny and laughed easily at the antics. I'll have to look her other videos up. Glad Dave didn't hurt anything important. wink wink.
You’re a national treasure Dave! I miss watching you on The Late Show so much. Television will never be the same.
You know he's not actually reading this, right?
his interview show on cable is fun and he has interesting guests > I miss his late night fest, but happy to see him.
@@QuasiELVIS Who are you? His Personal Assistant?
@@QuasiELVIS He actually _only_ reads Phil Tatnell's comments.
Boy do I enjoy these videos. Thanks Dave, thanks Barbara, thanks to all the staff and crew who worked on the show, and have contributed to these videos…and thanks Don Giller!
Dave may be 75 but you can tell he is as sharp as he has ever been. Here's to another 75, you wonderful old man.
At least 27 and in good health. He tells a story like my dad did. Who was an avid David fan. We watched his last two seasons from separate homes and the next day always had a did you see last nights Letterman? moment.
It takes a sharp wit to act like you have dementia. He is and has always been hilarious.
You can't tell me Dave doesn't miss having his own show. Here he is doing a monologue story for his an audience of one.
May not be a daily show, but at least we are getting some new material from Dave!
Dave has a great show on Netflix!
Audience of one? 263K subscribers.
@@OMGWTFLOLSMH IN PERSON audience. You seriously didn't get that's what I was saying?
R u kidding me??? His show on Netflix, "my next guest needs no introduction " is f---ing brilliant, you gotta tune in to what you been missing!!!
Dave's still got it when it comes on to storytelling!
I wish he'd do a tour. Theaters. Just telling stories. Take my money!
You kidding? I fell and hit my head because I fell asleep semi listening to this boring story.
@@DaveDarin oh come on. There's no need for that hahah
Dave, loved your story. I fell over once and hit my head like yours, but didn't go to the emergency room.
13 weeks later I collapsed with a brain bleed so glad to here you are ok.
Wow. How much midline shift had occurred by then?
Happy birthday Dave! Thanks so much for these doses of Dave, Barbara. I didn’t realize how much I have missed him!
Looking at Myers/Corden/Colbert/Fallon etc I realize how lucky we were to have had this man on late night for so long
I was a religious viewer for 28 years. 1987 to 2015. I was 8 when I first came across Dave on Late Night. After he retired and closed shop on Late Show, I have yet to see anything on TV at 11:30. Not a single episode of anyone’s show. Sure, I see clips and stuff on CZcams, but none have propelled me to go and tune in as it broadcasts over the air. When Dave left, late night television left with him. He is the king of the medium forever and ever.
Kimmel and Colbert have their moments, but they’re all pale facsimiles of Letterman and Conan. I’d rather watch Leno at this point.
@@keefriff99 It’s curious because I have seen a few episodes, less than a handful really, of Leno’s car show but never could stand The Tonight Show. While I found Leno and his comedy annoying, nothing like Fallon. That guy is beyond soporifically annoying.
@@cactaceous
I know most people were either virulently Team Letterman or Team Leno, but I never hated Leno. He was fine...too corporate and vanilla for my tastes, but watchable at least.
Fallon, on the other hand, is nearly unwatchable to me. The whole show is so fake and overly cutesy...it's a damn shame that the supremely talented Questlove and the Roots are stuck being his sidekicks.
Late night television is dead to me. They all suck.
Barbara: "Wait, you had to take off all your clothes?"
Dave: "I don't know if you had to. You know what I'm sayin'?"
Happy birthday, Dave!
Thank heavens Dave is okay ! Barbara, it was a delight whenever you'd pop up on the show throughout the decades and it remains a delight to see you here now sharing all of these treasures with the world. Really, there should be a Nobel Prize offered!
I love Barbara and Dave together. What a career of fantastic memories to share with the world. Please keep sharing. As always, Dave could tell a great story about his walk to his mailbox. I have watched his show(s) since the beginning. No one like Dave, or his legend.
No matter what Dave looks or sounds like or how old he may be he's one of the most entertaining men who has ever lived.
I believe you are correct 🥰
Umm......
he is very smart, but can do "silly" very well !
Fave part: "180 stitches" -- he used to do that on his show ALL the time. Say something exaaggerated JUST enough that, if you're not paying attention, you'll miss the ridiculousness of it.
Hahahh whatta compliment! But if he's really on tik tok I'm tremendously disappointed.. asymmetric attack arm of antagonistic anuseses ain't no friends o mine! But Dave always will be..
What a great story as only Dave could tell it!!! Thank God he’s ok!!! It was so nice of Barbara to make time for Dave on her top rated show!!! Lol! ❤
I really enjoy Letterman telling his stories. I know one day Harry will look back at this fondly. Please keep story tellin Dave!
I dunno.. Harry sounds like a douche. I mean Dave basically stopped his career as one of the greatest talk show hosts ever to rsise Harry and thr kid doesn't want to be seen with him on campus? Sounds kinda douchey.
I just smile when I see Dave.
Same here. Barbara too with her friendly face.
This was a ridiculously entertaining story. I think the best part was Dave’s impersonation of Harry which I’m guessing it is spot on. Anyway belated happy birthday Dave and thanks for posting these!
loved the teen impersonation
That is ALWAYS hilarious.
He did the same voice when did the remote at Taco Bell.
Happy 75th Dave!!! So glad we have your channel for endless entertainment.
Did a face plant 15 months ago and continue to have recovery issues. This is not a trivial injury. Take it nice and slow, Dave.
I did a face plant 16 years ago, and 6 mos ago I was surprised to have two lower teeth pulled due to my injuries from that experience. When my face plant occurred, I feared I had knocked out teeth and was pleased to find they were all still intact. But the process of resorption began from that trauma and slowly destroyed the roots of those two teeth. Weird but true. I’m grateful that modern dentistry could detect and fix this issue to prevent deterioration of my jawbone from occurring as well, plus replace the pulled teeth with implants and crowns.
Concussions are weird. I thought I was fine untill I got to the ER and couldn't remember how to write my name. Glad you are ok Dave!
Happy 75th Dave! While the actual event wasn't fun for you, it's great to have you back in some capacity! I missed your stories and your dry and self-deprecating sense of humor!
Pokes his finger through the frames, "I couldn't wait an hour at LensCrafters."
Ahhh Dave, you still got it. The screwball comedy. Love Ya.
O, Man. I really, really miss seeing Dave on late night TV. I was there at the beginning (NBC) and watched non-stop till the final show, with Dawes helping to sign off. A true national treasure and so glad I was on the planet while Dave Letterman was doin' his thing. Paul was/is awesome too...!
Great to see Dave doing well. It's amazing that Harry speaks and sounds the same as he did when he was just 6 years old. That should go over well on his professors at college.
I miss this Dave, the apolitical, humorous, humble raconteur. Happy 75th, old man! You've got 10 years on me.
So great to see Dave back doing these videos. The GOAT of talk shows! Keep it coming!
“Next week I understand Mr. Beast will be on your show” 😂😂😂
who the heck is that??
@@KindCountsDeb3773 popular CZcams creator
I can’t imagine dealing with a teenager at Dave’s age. Hell, I’m 43 and couldn’t imagine it.
So glad he’s okay though.
I'm dealing with one at 58 and that's bad enough!
@@dlattimer9949 David would have to live into his 80s to see Harry graduate.
Happy Birthday, Mister Letterman! Glad to see you’re okay. I’m really enjoying these vignettes, keep them coming. Don’t feel obligated to keep getting hurt for more humorous content, though!
Falling down is a BIG sign of old age . Time 4 a nursing home
My wife was quite mad at me many years ago when I let slip that I knew Dave's birthday when she knew I struggled to remember hers.
It was easy for me to remember Dave's birthday, because it is the same as my mom's!
Thank you for sharing your story with Rhode Island Hospital, it's a great hospital. Glad your alright. Blessings to you and your family 🙏 Sincerely, from a Rhode Islander
It's so good to have you back entertaining us, Dave, in whatever fashion! Thank you! Mind your forehead.
Ms. Gaines is on twitter and has always seemed a dear person. And I do miss Dave’s regular entertaining tellings of stories of even mundane events. They were frequently the highlight of his show.
he knows how to get to the funny.
Love Dave , I think this guy was always one of the nicest Late night show hosts . He seems real down to earth.
Thank you Dave and Barbara, and I will also put in a good word for Don Giller, who has held the torch so well, and is a true scholar of your years on the air...
These are fun to watch. He should keep doing these every now and again.
Happy birthday😁. It’s wonderful to have you back on the screen and I owe you great thanks for being a very welcome guest in my life for all these long years. Love and Hugs from Nova Scotia 🤗
Barbara is a true treasure in Dave's life. Happy belated 75 birthday Dave from a 72 yr old fan...
I'm glad David's all right from that fall.
Happy Birthday David. 🎈
DAVE MUST BE PROTECTED AT ALL COSTS!
Yes, god damn it, why isn’t the government working in this!?!
This is awesome. Quite the story. Glad you are ok. Such a natural chemistery you and Barbara have. Thanks Dave
It is so great to once again get a little Dave every now and then! Best chuckles ever. Great to see you back.
Happy Birthday Dave! Great story as usual and glad it wasn't as bad as it sounded.
OMG. It's so great to have Dave back.
This is why Dave and Jay will be the greats, perfect storytellers, I could listen to him all day.
and Jay?! Nope
@@Rocketjay12 don't be negative. Jay and Dave are great, even Dave will tell you that Jay is great. He may have his issues with him, but he's never doubted his talent.
Happy Birthday Dave! Here's to many more. Thank you for sharing the details of your sidewalk fall, and emergency room visit. Thank you Barbara for having Dave on your show. Miss his late night monologues. Take care.🎂🥂🎈🎁🎉
It's a true pleasure to catch up with Dave! I spent so many nights, like every single night 5 nights a week, never missed an episode watching him when my kids were growing up it's like seeing a dear family friend after a number of years. It is great to see him still looking so good all these years after retirement.
"I couldn't wait an hour at Lenscrafters" ...love that humour 🤣
I'm dying to hear a recent clip of what Harry actually sounds like because Dave's impression is ridiculous lmao
Happy Birthday, Mr. Letterman! I 180 stitches oh no! I am glad RI took good care of you.
Yikes! Happy Birthday Mr. Letterman! Good health, the best gift of all☀️
No one tells a better story. Love these two. Glad you were okay, Dave!
Happy Birthday Dave! Fun fact, the NFL’s concussion protocol consists solely of asking players who sang Wonderful Tonight
Dang I’m glad you’re okay Dave. I’ve watched you since day one of your show and would hate to see you go at such a young age.
Happy Birthday, Dave! Miss your show. Glad you’re ok. Remember to step carefully in unfamiliar territory and be well.
Great to see Barbara Gaines again! omg, Dave! I tripped on broken sidewalk last year and fell on my cheek and broke my glasses, scratched and bloodied myself, but I did not pass out. Will be 70 next yr. Glad you're ok.
I fell a couple years ago and my first thought was “am I broken?” I realized I’m getting old, because the first thought used to be, “did anyone see?”
@@sallyneary1996 it's a plausible distinction.
Oh, how I miss Dave telling stories in the way that only he can. What a treat!
"Because as you know, without caffeine I have no personality." 😂
and she says "Yeah."
*'Leyla-hmmm-Leyla-hmmm..'* *And 'that' is how I knew I had a concussion.'* 😂 *Forgetting Eric Claptons' name.*
*David Letterman~this man just keeps on giving-sometimes we're not entirely certain what that might be-but he still just seems to keep right on giving.* 😅
All of that and all I could keep thinking was “Wait why is he wearing glasses if they have no lenses in them?!”
He would make a perfect Santa. What a great smile!
Wow. Not many outside of Jean Shepherd could take such a harrowing tale and make it funny. Happy Birthday, sir!
Yes! Jean Shepherd was a great storyteller, and so is Dave. But, Dave once interviewed him, and it wasn’t good. Oh, well.
Dave and Jean Shepherd are both cut from that mold of Midwestern storytellers. Few and far between, folks who listened to Jean Shepherd on WOR radio in New York, with his crazy kazoo introduction playing along with that recorded marching band song, him saying "Mankind keeps marching forward...In hock agrikcuelah konk, in es spittle lock," and then his wonderful stories, about the triangular donut machine, the one about Leopold Dopler and the great gravy boat giveaway, the story about him sitting in the hot sun in a little boat on a lake fishing for crappies with his old man and then Hairy Gertz tells a dirty joke and young Shep thinks it's about hockey, and the story about him being a mail boy running along a slag heap in midwestern winter and getting frostbitten lungs at a steel mill in the made-up town of Homan, Indiana, and his many stories mentioning his friend Flick. On Saturdays Shep did a live radio broadcast from The Limelight In New York City. In my own boyhood, too many nights I fell asleep with that white, hard plastic earbud stuck in my ear, wired to a small transistor radio, listening to Jean Shepherd's magic. Then later, catching his TV show, Jean Shepherd's America, him interviewing Albro B. Gregory of the Nome Nugget newspaper, and seeing Shep climb in and pilot a small Cessna as he taxied and took off. He was a close spiritual brother to guys like Walt Whitman, Mark Twain, Jack Kerouac, J.J. Audubon, Tom Wolfe, and others, who all paid homage to, and evoked a warmth in our common American experience and our common American Brotherhood and Sisterhood, and if Shep were alive today I am sure he'd have a powerful insight into our present situation.
This is the type of Barbara Gaines content we were denied all those years of Late Night. I always wanted more but she would always run away and put a piece of paper in front of her face when caught on camera but this is very satisfying to see her relaxed and having a casual convo w/Mr. Diamond Jubilee himself. Very cool.
This channel is such a gift. Happy Birthday BIG MAN.
He was the best weatherman when we both lived in Indy. we would rush home from work just to watch the weather!
As a Rhode Island resident I'm so glad you got great care at Rhode Island Hospital! Please say hello on your next trip here - just don't fall!
Happy Birthday, Mr. Dave! You are loved.
The are great!! You and Barbara have a funny chemistry. Please keep doing these!
Love you Dave! Nobody can interview like you! And nobody can tell a story like you! I miss you!
That bastard Harry told Mom! 🤕🤣
Good to see Barbara Gaines again.🤗
Happy Birthday Dave! 🎂
Just the perfect conversationalist. Always sharp as a tack. Reminds me more of Garrison Keillor as he ages. A great model if you want to become a story teller.
I adore you Dave. I'm glad you're okay!! Your videos with Barbara are the best, and I look forward to them.
Been watching Dave since he hosted the late-night movies in Indianapolis in 1971........ he's like the funny big brother
I finally subscribed this evening, eventhough I regularly see all the videos as they are posted! This reminds me of the mid 90s, when i used to get David's top 10 list in my school's awkward mainframe textbased mailbox, and which I looked forward to reading , like the geek I was, at that computer lab at Penn State. Time flies by too fast. I wish i could rewind it back a couple of decades and re-enjoy those moments, plus do a few things differently. Can David help with that?
Finally we hear the tale Dave teased on "Late Night with Seth."
They way Dave imitates his son, makes him sound so much like my younger brother.
Many happy returns, Dave!
It’s cool, and also a bit hilarious to know that I got my glasses because they looked like glasses Dave wore in the 80’s and to now know even tho we don’t have the same frames we do in fact wear Warby Parker glasses!!! Btw Happy Birthday Dave!!!
Happy Birthday Dave. You make the World better. Nice seeing you back!
Be safe out there! Happy birthday, Mr. Letterman.
David Letterman is a LEGEND.
Dave you are without a doubt a national treasure,,, we all love you so much, and Barbara is an angel,,,
Did they hit all the potholes! Lol. Scary story, but glad you can see humor in it! 🤣
I adore him and still miss his show. I’m glad though he is doing so well and happy!
Love your devoutness to Harry. When he moves out after college and you are bored you should come back Dave. Seriously. And bring Barbara!
Awwww. He so lucky to have you as dad 🤩
Excellent story. Losing words can be a real problem with brain injuries. I hope Dave was smart enough to follow up with an expert.
Now I know how to self diagnose a concussion. Thanks Dave!
Glad yer A-OK, Dave! 👍 Kudos to the stellar medical team who treated you so well! 💜
Dave was always a good storyteller. A lost art.
after all true life can be the most humorous subject matter. And no one did it as well as Dave.
I love that David talks in his son's voice in the exact same way I talk in my son's voice...
One of the most humorous and whimsical comedy writers and host of all time. Bar none. I still hear him saying Paul's name and the distinct sound of a breaking glass pane. McDonald's drive thru.
Happy Birthday Dave... Hope many more!
I've also had a sudden unexpected confrontation between my face and the cement, though not as dramatic and evocative as Dave's. Only been knocked out once, many years earlier. On my first and only hockey breakaway, I stickhandled and skated as fast as I could, narrating the play-by-play of the 1963 Toronto Maple Leafs version to myself, and keeping my eye on the puck. Skated right past the net and head first into the boards. Of course, none of us wore helmets in those days. Next thing I remember, on coming to, was looking up at a circle of people standing around me, looking down at me and asking if I was okay. I unfortunately also told my mother. That was the last pair of skates they ever bought me.
they didn't want to contribute to your demise.
Glad you're doing alright. I was attacked once and hit my head on the sidewalk. I had some Brain Hemoraging so I had to spend the night in ICU with a Vicodin Drip. They kept a Nurse with me all night and would not let me fall asleep because I might not wake up. So I'm glad you didn't have to go through that. Bless You and I loved your show. Oh! Happy Birthday Dave!
I am so glad this channel exists
Happy Birthday Dave!! Glad you are OK,If you have to have a weird accident, RI is a beautiful place for it. Glad you are OK, Love to you, the Mrs & Harry.
Thanks Barbara for this awesome Upload, much Love 😘♥️
