I love how Dave looks like he just wandered over to a neighbour's garage on a Saturday to see what's going on. I wonder which guest bailed that morning.
Man, Regis is old. Even in 1984(34 years ago), he was almost pushing 55. Now, he's pushing 90. God bless him though. He still can entertain a crowd and get paid. One of TV's more likeable people, if not talented.
*Edit/Sidenote ~ I sussed out "Skyy's", "Call Me" and "Heaven 17's", "Penthouse And Pavement", as bumper/rejoinder songs for the show. Maybe Regis isn't such an unhip crone, afterall, lol.
TreasuresAbound! Don, could you upload the march 22nd, 1982 show? Joey Bishop, Stan Freberg and Leo Buscaglia? My particular interest in it is Buscaglia. Thanks for the laughs... (same to Dave)!
+Daniel Poitras A few corrections first: March 22, 1982: guests were Reverend Ike, Gloria Steinem, and Ron Luciano. The show you want is April 22, 1982, with Commander Cody and Leo Buscaglia. Joey Bishop was a cameo only during Viewer Mail. Stan Freiberg never appeared on LN. Some of his tv commercials, though, were featured during a guest appearance by tv commercials archivist James Hall on May 24, 1982. I'll get the Buscaglia up "soon." :)
I didn't know Letterman had a friendly relationship with Regis. All I remember is him making fun of the guy all the time he wasn't present. Total aside, but this reminds me of the current Ellen "scandal." Seems some people have an axe to grind, and one of their complaints is her treatment of guests. I do not watch the show, but I've seen enough of it to realize her digs at guests are friendly in nature. The Letterman show was groundbreaking, as was the sense of humour he ushered in to the format. For me, it almost ruined everything that came after. It seemed to me that there were a ton of copy cats who failed miserably. That said, he could be mean. Which makes me wonder if there's a double standard when it comes to male and female hosts. Seems to me that Ellen doesn't even come close to the extent Letterman could make a guest feel extremely uncomfortable.
Letterman never pretended to be 'kind' but at the same time his show often had much more heart than Ellen's manufactured moments. He also had tremendous respect for his staff.
@@bboooobbyy Yeah, I gathered that after reading more information. All of which leads to current and or former employees who have a huge axe to grind. They're just piling everything on to the fire to keep it burning. If the accusations are true -- and I don't doubt they are -- she should be ashamed of herself. Pay your staff, ffs.
@@jammiedodger I totally agree. I know next to nothing about the Ellen show, but grew up watching Letterman on NBC. It was clear his staff members respected him, and I always found it amusing when he invited behind the scenes employees on stage. That meant they got a big bump in pay.

Thanks for all the comforting laughs Regis.
Thanks for posting this clip! A couple of broadcast legends. Letterman's such an hilarious smart-ass... even in the morning.
The way Dave is sitting lol.

+leverage1976 You should listen to him sing sometime,shithead.
Unfortunately Regis has passed away.
Regis Philbin looks so young here.
8:05 Adam Eget as a kid.
my thoughts exactly
Was he phoning in from the Queensboro Bridge?
I've been chompin at the bits to ask this one.
Well spotted! Looks like he wasn't funny then, either.
Two legends!
Being from New Jersey, I remember seeing The Morning Show,which eventually became Live With Regis and Kathie Lee.
I remember this from 84
He went from the same backdrop to full house to the same backdrop to home improvement. RIP Regis Philbin
God Bless Regis.
The Stupid Pet Tricks movie - I remember that got bogged down in development - something about Olivier's schedule.
Do you the have the first episode of his morning show?
I do. The Letterman Channel posted selections from it just today, the 43rd anniversary of its debut.
Dave is 37 and Regis was 52 .

The hubbub is mostly surrounding how Ellen treats her staff, not the celebrity guests she interviews.
