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. - บันเทิง
Biff is such a wonderfully likeable person. Such a joy to see him again.
Biff was a big reason I fell in love with the show in the mid 90s. The Biff segments never failed to deliver.
Biff and the other staffers became sort of a family through the years... it was always special to see them!
I knew Biff when we both worked at NBC. In real life he was one of the nicest people I’ve ever known.
and he came off like that on the show. Nice !
So glad to see Biff looking really well!! What a sweet, gentle, up for anything guy.
Up for anything except getting his pants turned into shorts
@@assmane999I agree with him, men shouldn’t wear shorts lol that’s for kids
@@LetsBeHonestImAPrat that’s a weird take. It’s a great way to stay cool during the heat. And how do you swim without shorts? You wearing pants to the pool?
Biff’s reaction in the pants gag always kills me.
He thought Dave was gona cut his pants while he was busy with Paul that's why he ran off.
I met you Biff, when we were crossing the street, in Gualala CA. It was the day after 911. I said, "I know you ,you're Biff." The Letterman show, had sent the crew on a cross country journey to go to little towns, and interview restaurant owners. When 911 happened, the crew needed to get back to New York.The crew would have to rent cars to get back east, as no one could fly at that time. Biff told me he was friends with some of the camera crews that worked at the top of the twin tower buildings, and that they had perished that day. I gave him a hug, it brought tears to my eyes. What wonderful human being. I 'm glad to see you again, in these clips! CHEERS!
6:24 😂
The amount of double takes, reactions, confusion, Paul cracking up and Dave trying to figure out what the hell, pure chaos 🤣
I really love how Dave is telling buff to be careful with Paul then Paul ends up cutting Mel Gibson
I want Biff to write his memoirs
And then he should read it for Audible.
BIFF! He’s a national treasure.
With a walk-on song by another national treasure: Miles Davis.
--national--
Man, I loved Biff so much on the show.
I was in the audience in 2014 and before the show started they showed a safety video which was presented by Alec Baldwin (who said at the beginning: "I'll keep this short, because they're not paying me"). He mentioned not to keep bags unattended and then showed Biff rummaging through all the bags! Was such a funny video and hope one day it gets shown.
I met Biff while doing a gig at Hofstra U. maybe 20 years ago. I was a fan, and asked if he enjoyed being in front of the camera. He said, "Yea... As long as I don't look to bad doin' it!" Class act!
I just got through watching the Paul Shaffer 'Favorite Moments' video, and the link to this popped up at the end, and my eyes almost instantly welled up with happy tears. I didn't realize how much I missed Biff. So nice to see from people who knew or met him that he's just as nice as you'd imagined he would be.
The newest Dave vids are favorites from his staff, hosted by one producer, Barbara. They show fun videos and react. It's under " Letterman". Just funny.
I met Biff in a grocery store in Durham NC a number of years ago. It turns out that Biff grew up in Durham and had come back for a visit. I “accidentally” ended up behind him at the self-checkout lane, and we chatted a little while waiting our turn. He was just as charming and unassuming in person as he was on the show. It must have been around 2005 because Johnny Carson had recently died, and we talked about Johnny a bit. Later, I did some research and discovered that Biff was a serious tennis player in his youth. He played against and with (doubles) someone by the name of Arthur Ashe, both being youngsters at the time. In fact, Arthur stayed in the Henderson home when he was in town for tournaments. I encourage you to look up this and more about Biff. A very interesting guy.
Arthur Ashe was a vet who won a service medal as a data analyst, he played NCAA tennis, was the first black person selected for the US Davis cup team, won the the Grand Slam Singles Tennis title 3x. He was also civil rights activist being arrested in South Africa protesting apartheid and in the US for protesting the treatment of Haitians. He was a spokesperson for some public health related concerns too. I knew about Ashe (learned about him in history)... Hearing that he and Biff were friends is pretty cool.
What the world needs now is more Biff! My favorite walk-on “performer” on the show. Father Biff - he’s tough but he’s fair.
Biff's a gem. What a great guy!
We need way more Biffs in this world. a great man
It's like seeing old friends again.
Thank you so much for this. I miss Biff almost as much as I miss Dave.
Biff looks great.
Its good to see Biff!
Ha, I've *never* seen Paul laugh harder
We still love you, Biff. Thanks for the great memories.
Thats what makes Conan and Lettermen for me the best. They always care about the people they work with, hell they even put them on camera!
Worldwide Shorts! Now there's a style that could sweep the world!
Sir, on the bench. Please do it for me. Put your shirt on! 😂😂
Forever Biff.
Biff always added humor and entertainment to the show which put a smile on my face.
It’s so nice to see Biff!!! I remember he would come into the A&P when I was a teenager, such a nice person.
Wow, Biff was so great in all these bits!
they picked the right guy!!
Biff was genuinely funny and creative just on his own.
The first time in my entire life I've been so early to the comments. I dedicate this comment to Biff R. Henderson.
Here because I got to meet Biff today! I was walking with my daughter and we passed him and I immediately recognized him. A few minutes later I went back to my seat and sure enough, he was sitting right next to me. When he got off his phone I asked if he was Biff and sure enough he was!
Good to see you BIFF! Great memories!!!!
The biff portraits were amazing. I remember wanting the sticky note one on my dorm wall.
Imagine having a job like that with the Letterman show.
The difference between Dave and Johnny is that Dave included everyone and Johnny was only about Johnny and that is why my generation x loved Dave
I just assumed Biff was no longer with us and was too sad about it to ever look it up. This is a good day.
75 years young.
I thought the same thing for some reason.
Biff is THE GOAT
Always LOVED Biff 💙💙💙
Loved Biff Henderson. So good to see him.
We love you Biff!
Biff and the Superbowl trophy is hilarious
I inherited my mums 34 inch BW TV when I moved "out" at 19 years old. I watched everything Letterman and loved it. I saw Biff so many times, thanks to you all. $0.02
I have no idea why they would go to the trouble of making a 34” black and white tv 📺
I bet it’s in your garage under a hand truck am I right?
Is it an Zenith?
Biff! Class act.
Biff, the natural
Nice to see Biff! Hope your knee is holding up, bud, thanks for the laughs.
I loved the Letterman show and all the cast and crew that appeared on the show, Biff was one of my favourites, I'm glad he is still doing well.
Thank you Biff for all the hours of laughs! Especially lifting Jerry Garcia that night! Classic, and I actually have a brother named Biff 😀
Letterman and Ferguson game me so many years of laughter. Thanks to them and the crews behind it all.
"He's out like a carp now, ain't he"
love ya biff thanks for the great memories on lnwdl
this channel is the bees knees
Legend.
I've missed Biff!
Awesome to see Biff again
I visited Rupert at his Hello Deli and had a "Biff Henderson" - it was delicious.
We need segment where Biff is hypnotized and is instructed to laugh at every part of some bit really hard except for one part which he is supposed to hate. I think it was from a Late Show Video Special.
Biff was always so lovable with that damn headset on all the time lol he thought Dave was gona cut his pants while he was busy with paul, that's why he ran off.
13:08 My favorite Biff moment,
"SLEEP!" 😴 😄
SLEEEEEP NOWWWW
Those film festivals were pure art.
I loved biffs sketches
I've never met Biff. Never in my life.
This is truly the most remarkable story I’ve ever heard in my life. It has the potential to be the single greatest, most thought-provoking, action packed, most extravagant story I will ever hear in my lifetime. The only thing that could’ve made it even slightly better is if you threw a buttafuoco in there somewhere. Thank you for taking the time to write that comment.
Sometimes you cant be sure
Biff!!!!!
So, Guillermo is, basically, Kimmel's version of Biff Henderson.
Basically, and if you wanna stick Calvert Deforest (Larry Bud Nelman) somewhere in that analogy that’d be justified as well
@@HAL_9000__ Exactly, I just watched Jimmy's favorite moments of Dave karma and he said his Uncle was basically the same character as Larry Bud Melman was on Dave
Wow, Biff looks and sounds amazing!
That last segment is nuts!
One of the few who were with Dave from The Morning Show all the way until the end. Biff, Jude Brennan, Barbara Gaines.....anyone else? Paul Shaffer was close. Not on the Morning Show, though.
I'm just surprised Dave stuck by Paul even after Paul got them fired from NBC for stealing office supplies.
Jude worked on the morning show for just the first month, maybe 5 weeks. She just couldn’t stand to get up so early.
Love you Biff !!!!!!
Genius
Biff 👍
Realm of Mystery and Golf Cart of Death both belong in this video
Dave, thanks! Biff, thanks!
Can we get a Biff Favorite Moments part 2?
The best Biff.
Biff was awesome!
Always wanted to see more Biff On late night during these years
Best Ever!!!
When push came to shove, Biff could bring some improv!
In the hypnosis segment, I fully believe Biff was not faking. He would not have grabbed the camera if he was faking. And he was genuinely disoriented upon awakening.
He was nice enough to take a picture with me outside the Ed Sullivan theater, not too bothered as he was on his way into work.
Buff looking good
I wonder what the guy with the tattoos is up to these days..
Loved Biffs skits. I would like to find the one where he can't stop doing the Macarena. Dave ends up taking him for a drive in the country and dumps him in the river!
Good ol’ Biff.
8:46 People respond to me similarly 😅
I do miss Biff.
I think he didn’t understand all of the skits but he always made them great
I always wondered about this bit that must have happened before he interviewed a self proclaimed "internet sensation"!!! lol
he looks identical lmao
Biff my favorite and i can see why people stay on the crew even after Dave steals Hals Wife.
How had I never seen “Dave marries Mrs Gurnee” hilarious 😅
I distinctly remember watching the hypnosis ("SLEEP NOW!") bit back in April '96 and legitimately thought Biff was out. I still thought that when I watched the separate video a month ago. This time, I noticed Biff clenched his fists after lying down in the chair. Now, I'm not so sure he was hypnotized.
Digression: I remember the closed captioning of the 4/5/96 show miscaptioned some of Dave's "Biff?" questions. "Dave? Dave?" As long as there has been closed captioning, there have been scribes who get things wrong. With live captioning, I understand, but not for prerecorded content. And then, there TH-camrs who caption their videos and don't know "its" from "it's." End of digression.
Do you believe the hypnotism was real with the professional professional hypnotist? I don't know too much about it.
2:14 is that Lutz?
If I ever meet Biff Henderson in the street, I'm gonna tell him to go to sleep.
And then cut his pants into shorts?
👋❤️🎧👏
What happened to late night? Dave and his staff leaving, that's what..
Biff really did inspire black folks being in show business.
🙂👍
Dave's joke at @9:50 ?
ah. Leno :) had to get my headphones out.
"do the top ten"
