    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.

    It reminds me when, on the night of Dave's last show, Conan said to the TV audience, "Tonight is David Letterman's last show. 35 minutes into this show, I'm going to tell you to turn off our show and go watch Dave's last show when it starts." Sure enough, he did it. It was a nice show of respect.

      "Alright, record us! Turn to Dave! Switch to Dave!... okay, they're gone. All 7 of my viewers are gone. Now we can do whatever we want." - Conan & Patton Oswalt.

    I know someone who was working as a page on Conan's show in the early days. They'd be sent down to the street in front of 30 Rock to beg people to take tickets for the show. Dave was a class act doing this. He helped him more than NBC ever did in those days

      Conan got more support and love from Letterman than Conan ever got from that backstabber Jay Leno. That’s probably why Dave and Conan were more friendly with each other since they both got screwed over by Jay Leno for the Tonight Show.

    My wife and I were visiting Times Square once, and we got two free tickets to Letterman. It was the one with Ben Stiller and Elvis Costello. We are sitting upfront - right in front of Paul and the band! Dave came out before the show while still getting ready and made everyone feel welcome and laugh etc. . He was his own warm-up act. He and his staff were so gracious and I’ll never forget how terrifically lucky we felt to be there in the Ed Sullivan room. It was a magical night. Thank you Dave!

    • @JustForSneaksEnt
      @JustForSneaksEnt ปีที่แล้ว

      Tom Snyder hosted the first incarnation of The Late Late Show on CBS at 12:30 AM, before James Cordin, Craig Ferguson and Craig Kilborn hosted it afterwards. The Late Show with David Letterman has always been taped and broadcasted from the Ed Sullivan Theater. Also, Letterman was telling his viewers to stay tuned for The Late Late Show with Tom Snyder when his show ended for the night and even Jay Leno has done the same thing by telling his viewers to stay tuned for Late Night with Conan O'Brien when the episode of The Tonight Show ended for the night.

      Tom Synder was part of another Dave standby audience before doing his own show. Apparently, Dave wanted the original standby audience to go to Snyder's show to keep the bit going. But Tom refused, screaming "I hate live audiences! I hate Rona Barrett! I hate ranch dressing!" Or words to that effect. I'm not sure.

    We desperately need Conan and Letterman back, it's just tragic what's happened to late night talk shows, it's almost entirely political propaganda nowadays, i have no idea who seriously thought bringing in John Stewart's guys to late night was a good idea, they have no talent other than rage about politics all the time they're incapable of actual comedy
