This was a fun ride! I probably missed a high proportion of these originally, and they're always hilarious. Thanks Don! You've done humanity a great service with these collections, etc.
Thank you so much, Don! This routine always seems like it will get old, but it never does. Everytime Dave mentions Midnight Run and his films, i can't help but laugh out of the irony
Wow, this collection was so wonderful! Thank you so much for doing this. I didn’t appreciate Charles Grodin when I was younger; I guess I was one of the people that didn’t get it, but I was just a kid then & wasn’t really paying attention. Now as I watch this, I’m smiling & laughing the whole time. What a guy he was! So funny, smart, talented & truly one of a kind. I’m glad I got to see this. He was brilliant with Dave (& Carson too). As a side note, I love that all the thumbnails show him smiling. He had a fantastic smile!
I’ve been trying to find an appearance when Charles came to show his new fond hobby of photography of horses; and I can’t find it anywhere. Had me in tears.
Thank you for all of this! Grodin, Robin Williams, Terri Garr, etc. would have and should have been guests (of course they weren't for different reasons) on Letterman's show during those final months/weeks in 2015. Life goes on and times and people change, but everyone will always have these moments.
The song Paul and the great band plays for Charles' entrances is "You Talk Too Much". Classic! Thank you for this and your many tremendous compilations. The Charles-Dave on air relationship was one of the best running bits of all time.
Don, I just wanted to thank you so much for uploading all of these Charles Grodin on Letterman clips... after he sadly passed on I thought about all of his brilliant appearances on Letterman and hoped to just find a few on TH-cam... You have posted A TREASURE! Are these all from VHS tapes you recorded over the years? Amazing stuff and Thank You Again for All of the work you put into these... watching now on my TV...
Clifford is an amazing movie. Also Chuck work with the Muppets was brilliant in the Muppet caper and Muppets in Disney World. Charles was such a down to earth guy and glad he made those movies
Grodin abruptly quit acting around the releases of Beethoven's 2nd, Clifford and So I Married An Ax Murder. He had a talk show that ended up getting cancelled after a year. In those days it was harder to figure out what was going on. He returned a decade later for 11 years doing a few more movies. The first appearance is when he didn't do films but was brought on for comedy. It was from 2004. He had done the CNBC talk show between 1995 and 96 replacing Tom Snyder but CNBC changed format. For a few months was on 60 Minutes II but left and Jimmy Tingle replaced. However, Jimmy quit and nobody was used as a Andy Rooney type character. In 2005 60 Minutes II ended over a scandal. His return movie was a bit later in either 04 or 05 with one film.
I finally made it through this collection! Great stuff. Do we know why Charles stopped appearing on the Late Show? His career continued through the end of Dave's run, but he was never on the show after 2008.
@@dongiller I hoped someone could hand me the answer so I wouldn't have to look for myself, but failing that I found this at theaterscene.net: "The Late Show with David Letterman on CBS would run seven more years after Grodin’s final appearance. What happened to end one of the great comedy teams? The other day I listened to a 2013 radio interview with Grodin. He seriously explained that he felt he had to give it up as by then he was mostly retired from acting, being more involved in social causes such as freeing wrongly convicted prisoners and that people expected him to be the character he was with Letterman and were amazed that he wasn’t."
From the article "Grodin on Letterman" on TheaterScene, written by a dude named Darryl Reilly: "The Late Show with David Letterman on CBS would run seven more years after Grodin’s final appearance.

So there's the answer.
Well, I’ve hit the finish line but I’ll be back over & over. Thank you, Don.

I very much enjoyed these compilations with Charles Grodin. Thank you.
Outstanding compilation! Chuck was a legendary performer. Thanks Don.
Thanks for the Charles Grodin collection, @Don . These two are great. Thank you.
Thank you so much, Don! This routine always seems like it will get old, but it never does. Everytime Dave mentions Midnight Run and his films, i can't help but laugh out of the irony
Grodin...best talk show guest ever

Same here. Quite enjoyable
Don, thank you so much for another excellent collection including all the "bonus" clips. I ration them out and this one was particularly satisfying.
Thanks, Jack!
I’ve been trying to find an appearance when Charles came to show his new fond hobby of photography of horses; and I can’t find it anywhere. Had me in tears.
All of his appearances on Dave are in this 7-part compilation. That’s all I can tell you.
@@dongiller silly me. It’s in this very video. Thanks again.
"Is this part of a series?" I love that segment!
Thank you for all of this!

Grodin was terrific - 👏🙏 he created this surly character that’s funny, loving and complex - genius 👏👏
He also had the best entrance song too -
I busted up laughing at the Jack Paar story when I viewed this for the first time in 2004. LMAO 🙂
1:23:03 Love it! So cool the Carson folks offered up this clip. A sensational curation, Don. Thanks so much!
I couldn’t _not_ include the promo. :)
Mr. Groden made me laugh for many years. God bless. RIP

I always wondered what that tunes was! Thank you!

The Burl Ives comment was gold!
Grodin was such a master of this subtle humor. One of my all time favorite late night guests.
Loved him in Midnight Run.
I enjoy this very much
RIP Chuck. His SNL gig was legendary.
One of the true underrated comedic stylings and talents.
Grodin interviews can be so cringy at times, and yet I can't stop watching
I would of loved to have auditioned in front of Mr. Grodin on off Broadway.

Q
@@ericreboletti1180 Q?
I’m right there with you. Thank you Don - it’s a treasure!
Clifford is an amazing movie. Also Chuck work with the Muppets was brilliant in the Muppet caper and Muppets in Disney World. Charles was such a down to earth guy and glad he made those movies
God bless Don Giller ❤
🙏🏼 countless hours of laughs

Charles " Jack Benny " Grodin was a trip !!
Brilliant, Grodin explains its a bit, then just carries on doing the bit with Letterman
I finally made it through this collection! Great stuff. Do we know why Charles stopped appearing on the Late Show? His career continued through the end of Dave's run, but he was never on the show after 2008.
A commonly-asked question that some here have tried to answer.

@@jrpipik thank you!
38:00 his new photography hobby, hahaha.
I am so bummed I've reached the end. Thank you for this. What is the song Charles comes out to?
“You Talk Too Much” - Joe Jones.
Charles was so funny 😂
laugh till my guts hurt
29.02 the real grodin.he is hilarious.rip Charles.
Why wasn’t he on the show after 2008?
Apparently, discussing why Grodin stopped appearing isn't welcome here. King Giller will likely delete the comment.
he retired
From the article "Grodin on Letterman" on TheaterScene, written by a dude named Darryl Reilly:

So there's the answer.
@@fatalmodelmadhatter Thank you for the info!!
@@Rnyargd You're welcome :)
RIP the Prince of Pittsburgh.
Brilliant at deadpan and odd and annoying humor .Grodin was so good at being pissed off .
Please do collection of Regis next
Unlikely next or at all. These take an enormous amount of time, and there are so many hours in the day.
If you are watching this, just admit it, you are a Coolio!
"Mr. Happy"
I no ever knew he this funny
What is the title of Grodin's into music every time by Paul & the band?
“You Talk Too Much” - Joe Jones. Original recording here: th-cam.com/video/2GOYYbiEul0/w-d-xo.html
You Talk Too Much
19:34 who needs help 😅
