Welcome to the Letterman TH-cam 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.
There's a ton of TH-cam videos today on crushing things with a hydraulic press, but it was Dave who pioneered it in the 80s!
We didn't have TH-cam in the 1980s but at least we had Dave!
The OG Hydraulic Press Channel
YEP!
There's something delightfully unhinged about ending a segment by playing the introductory establishing shot backwards.
The man, the show, the legend.
I remember watching this segment on a hand-me-down 12-inch black and white TV in my bedroom, with the sound turned almost all the way down (because it was past my bedtime!). I guess this is the first time I've ever seen it in color.
Has anyone went out of there way to deciphered the Twin Peak'ish Man from Another Place-like audio dialogue at the end of this?
That paper was definitely switched out for a smaller version.
No way.
The one question I hope Letterman answers before he dies is how the negotiations went to get the Late Show name from Joan Rivers's 1986 Fox show that competed against Johnny.
Letterman was always ahead of his times...
As the young would be creators of all those hydraulic press satisfy videos take notes.
I was in college when Late Night started and it was the perfect show for us! My favorite was the canned ham in the 80 ton press and I still think about it 35 years later. It wasn't in this segment but maybe someday. THANK YOU!!! for sharing the memories!
You know, Archimedes once said: Give me a long enough lever and a place to stand, and I can move the world.
Did they reverse that to avoid a copyright strike from Archimedes?
I had that lamp when I was little ..like 1978...I loved lamp. 🤣😭🤣
Who knew 37 years later we'd have more than one channel to choose from on TH-cam from the Internet dedicated entirely to crushing things with hydraulic presses?
I like how it would appear this technology has not evolved in nearly 4 decades. 😂
If it works why change it
I long to see the clip of Dave telling us viewers excitedly that we're not just watching "Late Night, " oh no no, we're watching "Late Night....87!"
While it doesn't have the familiar graphic, here's the first time the joke was made (starting at 1:50): th-cam.com/video/42Vkn2pdQf0/w-d-xo.html
Dave was memeing while you were in diapers.

Kids, Kids!
Most TH-cam channels today are based on things done by Dave letterman on Late Night. Almost every channel really.
NYT one looked really suspect.
Heavens, no! 100% legitimate, I'm sure...
Loved classic Dave and Conan. They were perfect for this kind of Late Night humor. College buddies that would try anything.
Squash in a hydraulic press ... that guy was META
I think this was the first Letterman show I ever watched. Been a fan ever since.
Holy crap, was the Sunday paper actually that massive back then? Dang thing is like a mini-phone book. It's crazy to think that there was an era where papers made enough money to publish an edition like that every week.
That was a stack of multiple papers. A bundle of them a carrier would have in their bag. Then he pulls out a single paper. That was the joke 😅
The legend - There is no OFF position to the GENIUS
switch. 😁👁️👍
Look at the size of that New York Times! Like a good thick novel!
And here we go.....
When they did the newspaper I got excited for a bit... then remembered this is not the hydraulic press Chanel and nothing is going to explode..
Has anyone reversed the dialog at the end?
There's so much that you can get away with at a machine shop in New Jersey!
in the 80s…
still waiting on a BME Pain Olympics-hydraulic press channel collaboration
The lack of Finnish accent confuses me.
And where's the dangerous Play-Doh animals??
Very imPRESSive!
Beavis and Butthead behavior before Beavis and Butthead.
My favourite was the bowling ball.
Now *_THAT'S_* entertainment🥸
Remember when comedy was still comedy. Those were the days huh?
Innovative.
Ok somebody reverse that last bit so we can tell what he said.
Squash
love dvae
