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. The language may strike you as quaint & flowery, the clothing comically lacey & ornate - but that’s how things were back in this colorful and now bygone era. - บันเทิง
Fun Fact: Rena and her monkeys were originally scheduled to perform on one of Late Night’s Las Vegas shows the previous May but was bumped. Then rescheduled to come to NY in August.
Also one of the very few times Paul’s “shit” got past the censors for air.
It got past me! I didn’t notice it until you brought it up!
and what was the name of the monkey that killed her
I love her comment at the end of the bit, "I don't believe this ." Still funny over 36 years later.
I kind of feel bad for her
I don't think I ever realized how fed up Rena was by the end, which really makes it funnier.
Lol, she swore on live TV. That was priceless...total trainwreck.
@@keefriff99 All of shows were videotaped before airing.
Dave is genuinely utterly scared and it is wonderful
I feel bad for the monkeys.
This comment made my day
Dave was right to be scared as one of these monkey's ripped the face off her owner in CT. That little monkey hated him lol
Dave was scared of all the animals though if it wasn't just a dog he'd shift away.
EXACTLY how my tea parties go.
5:47 Paul cursing 😂
Wow, you're right. I had to replay that to catch it. I guess the censors missed that one in the edit. They edited out the monkey woman swearing at the end, too.
I was watching the first night this aired. It was riveting. You just knew bloody chaos was a split second away. Funniest thing I've ver seen.
Saw this the night it originally aired. One of the greatest comedic moments ever in late night television!
Rena just takes over the show like it's nothing.
Wow! This was truly a late night classic. Way to go, Dave!
This episode was a month after Crispin Glover’s freak out, which made this one even more entertaining at the time. If I recall, Dave went on a vacation after this.
After Crispun Glover, CHer, and these monkeys one has to wonder Was it Dave or was the rest of the world just nuts lol
She was trying so hard to make this bit work but David’s reactions made it work better.
lol. It's crazy the way Sandy took an instant dislike to Dave. It reminds me a few first dates I've had.
this clip has stayed with me for almost 36 years...Dave's never looked happier
This has to be one of the funnest things on TV ever❗️
I will forever remember "Maybe you'll get some, maybe you wont!" OH GEEZE!!!
I just laughed as hard as I did when this first aired on TV.
CLASSIC moment for the show. I remember for the anniversary show from this year (I think it was the 6th anniversary special)...they double-edited in the facial expression here at 5:50 when she knocked the glass away (so it was in the segment twice)....but it was oh so entertaining! 🤣🐒
I watched this the night it first aired and it's been a favourite moment ever since. I certainly didn't know that I'd be able to watch it whenever I wanted to on a computer back then. I use the famous line about ripping a vein out of my neck whenever I see a spider, as an arachnophobiac.
This segment is etched into my memory for life!!
This is my absolutely favorite David Letterman episode.
I swear - Sandy was doing it on purpose 😂😂😂 I still can’t stop laughing 🤩
If you listen carefully, at time 8.22 you can hear Paul say "shit" and it did not get bleeped off the air. I remember when this aired in 1987 and I laughed my head off. Unfortunately, I did not record it on my VCR and I could not replay it as many times as I would like, like I can now:)
What are you talking about, at 8:22? It's silent, end of video. You're hearing the voices in your head.
@@JeyJJeyJ It's right after 5:46
I feel bad for those monkeys. That woman isn't in tune with them at all.
This is my favorite thing I've seen on the show!
Dave is certainly the Letter, as in letting it all happen.
Man, 1987 may be the most memorable Letterman year ever.
i just wanna hug them oh my goodnesssss
One of David's funniest moments from his "Late Night" Era.
Sandy took full advantage of that nervous energy. 🤣
I've always saw clips of this whenever Dave did an anniversary special. Before today, I never saw the full segment. Thank you!
Legendary!
I’m at home sick today. Letterman reruns are a 1000 times better than The Price is Right.
I thought I'd seen every Letterman bit but even I've never seen this! Perfectly insane! 🙉🙈🙊
He must've gotten monkey phobia or something LOL
i watched this live and it creeped me out sooooo much at a young age.
Live? Did you attend the taping in NY? That's really cool. I wish i had gone to see him back in the 90's.
@@trekkiejunk I meant when it aired on tv that night….
Yes, this got posted! Definitely among my top 5 Letterman moments
The title of this clip wins the internet for the day! 😂
This is THE funniest Letterman bit EVER.
Classic Letterman!
Miss ya David Letterman!
Too bad Norm wasn't there to say something like "Man, that Sandy really does not care for you, Dave"
"And who's responsible for that monkey not caring for Dave? You guessed it, Frank Stallone."
Yeah, Sandy and Putin... they're kinda jerks.
Paul with the "....oh Shit!" Listen for it.
At around 5:48!!!!
Freaking hilarious 😂
Hope they're treated well...
That’s your comment? 4:28 Cmon, they have tea parties. That’s a better life than most humans.
Thank you for the belly laughs!
My favourite bit is when you can hear Paul Shaffer say 'Holy shit!' in the background.
Dave's been scaring monkeys his entire career
Finally I've been waiting for this one for a while! Lmao!
I just realized that Sandy’s dress kept on getting caught on her chair! Crisis narrowly averted!
Maybe youll get some maybe you wont lol
Did I hear Paul say “oh shit”?
5:46 made it past Standards & Practices.
I think it's Paul ...
There's no way she didn't go back and not hit those monkey's. There's no way.
I remember watching this when this originally aired.
Johnny Carson would have handled this much better than Letterman I think, because he seemed to have a real love for animals.
I am trying to let David Letterman know that a gentleman named Bill from Muncie Indiana would love to hear from him. He use to feed David many Pixie Burgers while he was at Ball State. Bill is now 106 and I would love to connect him to his friend from years ago.
I think Dave would have been better off if it was just Max. 😁
Dave clearly prefers Dogs. 🙂
Looks like Paul Schaefer
That was uncomfortable on soooooo many levels. Different times. Different times.
Cable is out in my hotel, who cares with this?!
Did everyone hear Paul say “oh shit” in the background?
He was probably wearing too much Brut 33. It makes me react that way since my big brother abused it in our house.
Sandy flirts like I do
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Can you post Cotton Candy Toupee. Chris & Ken ?
The shoes David, them shoes
David what's with the Beard it takes more then that to look like a Real Man.
I hate to be that person but I have to. I hope those animals weren’t “punished” after the show by that woman for embarrassing her on television. Still, I laughed and will always remember it as a golden moment on Letterman.
"Punishing them" 10 minutes later would not be part of any training logic, even if they were using negative reinforcement. That would just be someone taking out their anger. That said, Sandy's "freakouts" were all part of the act. The same monkey act was done on Carson a few years earlier with almost the exact same results.
Yeah, she can barely contain her annoyance. I don’t really care for how she treats these animals. 😟
She nearly whacked Sandy in the head with the table. Who knows what would have happened if she had?
@@kstepko yeah….and Sandy seemed kinda used to it. 😖
💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Anyone else find this disturbing? I couldn’t watch it till the end
Is that Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert on the table or Joe Biden and Kamala Harris ?
How does a lady end up with monkeys.
Monkeys start at Cluster F. and it doesn’t get better.
Please invite monkeys again to your videos!
The current crop of late show hosts should just quit.
I can't watch this. I tried, but it is so sad. Animals who are made to perform live horrible lives. I am a former circus performer, I saw a lot and I can tell you it is animal abuse any way you slice it.
I don't like the woman...I hope she didn't beat her monkeys
Those poor defanged animals must have led terrible lives.
@@patreekotime4578 Or Sandy’s! She is obviously not enjoying being dressed up and told to perform for and interact with strangers, and is defending herself.
