Same. I've watched thousands of episodes, especially the NBC years, and I've never seen that one. That's the kind of stuff that put Letterman on the map and made the show great and constantly talked about.
Way to go, Deidre! You have truly helped Dave out a lot. I can't believe that you were able to make out with Hal Gurnee and have Dave scratch your back. Late Night TV has never been the same since then.
I'm sure NBC executives weren't too happy to see a pair of $200K cameras racing down the hall into each other. One looked like it was about to tip over making the turn into the hallway of 6A! Maybe that's why that particular bit only happened once, as far as I can remember. 🤣
Is that Sinead looking like she'd rather be on SNL with a photo of the Pope? And all the best to you, Dee! You're a TOTAL good sport and obviously not very bored or miserable.
@@OMGWTFLOLSMH No, I'm retired old school Army Field Artillery. We never had time for that kind of stuff in all 21 years. Did we have fun? Surely. But nothing I'm concerned about taking to the grave. So it piques my interest.
I remember when they cut back from commercial one time and Dave was staring at the camera puffing a giant cigar. He jumped and went "ooo!" and put the stogie hastily in an ashtray.
D, I have written you many times, even to your new home address. No response. My sentence has been reduced and I am eligible for early release. Please lift the restraining order. Thanks, Dave
Every staff member has said they wanted the money for being in a skit, were they not paid well? Why? Network BS so David made up for low wages in this way?
I really hope that they eventually ask “the girls” (the models who would bring in the prizes, etc) do one of these favorite moments videos.
They could tell what really happened before a "will it float" episode.
The control room bit secured Hal Gurnee's win as People's Sexiest Man Alive back in 1987. Take that, Harry Hamlin!
You can't beat his wardrobe...blue shirt, tan chinos and brown loafers.
I can't believe I never knew about the highway show. I really need to see that entire episode.
Not the entire show; just for that one segment.

@@OMGWTFLOLSMH And again, it wasn’t the whole show. Just this one segment.
@@OMGWTFLOLSMH I saw it the night it aired!

well good lookin' gals always get the grease
@@gerrydooley951 True, but the old saying had the squeaky wheels in mind.
Late Night was so groundbreaking and Deidre was a good sport. Great job one and all.
Yes but she hasn't aged well.
@@Orlandoarchivesyour eyes haven't aged well.
@@Orlandoarchives Why do you use the name 'Handanchovies'?
@@OrlandoarchivesBeauty is in the eye of the beholder. I honestly see her as more attractive now than in the past
@@Orlandoarchivessure she has!
I remember that Sonic Youth performance. Dave's expression was priceless.
"I never knew garbage could do that!"
Ahhh Garbage...caught their 12/12/95 gig at Moe's in Seattle.@@RideAcrossTheRiver
Man I miss Gilbert… he was so young….so many great guests
Love seeing him sitting next to Tom Brokaw of all people.
Long time fan of the show, but I'd never seen that desk rolling down the highway bit. That is hilarious and brilliant.
I love that the show was big with prisoners.
And shut-ins.
Thank you, Deirdre! Now we need a part 2 from you! This was great.
Back in the 80s, ‘ordinary house milk’ was the only milk we had.
Ha!! Yet another hilarious, down-to-earth staffer! Thank you!!
Thank you Deirdre, those were some great days!!🤓❤️
Now we all want to know the story she wouldn't tell at the end. Maybe bring some Jack Daniel's next time. 😂
Most likely Dave sleeping with interns, staff members, etc...etc....

who cares what NBC execs thought
Thanks for that, Deirdre. Your perspective is eye opening. Hope your ass is okay!
You were nobody if you didn't love Letterman back then.
Love these clips, Deirdre, thank you!!
Is that Sinead looking like she'd rather be on SNL with a photo of the Pope? And all the best to you, Dee! You're a TOTAL good sport and obviously not very bored or miserable.
Did they do a full show with them driving down the highway? I'd love to see that.
I missed that one, too...I hope they put it on the channel!
No: just for that segment.
I can see why they chose her for bits. Pretty, with that coquettish city-girl-next-door quality that made Madonna so big back then.
She kind of looked like Madonna's better looking sister back then.
Highway stuff is awesome.
Please put up some Teri Garr moments, she was a great guest during the NBC years. Don't wait until she passes away
GOOGLE Teri Garr Collection on Letterman. Don Giller put them all together.
I know I've watched them for years but an official Letterman channel release would be a nice tribute@@davidstrickler5362
Thanks
Nothing beats Late Night with LETTERMAN 😁👍🏻👍🏻
"Bored & miserable", making out with Hal. Very funny.
I want to know what she's taking to the grave?😂
You must never have worked in an office. Lots of shenanigans take place on and off work in medium to large offices. At least where I worked.

These are gold!
Best late night show ever.
I love hearing stories of the Late Night Days. What a trooper!
Honies who are good sports are true gems and Deirdre so is :D
D's voice is .... Wow
Gee, that ending...how can we get a part two with some answers?
Interesting that the "smoke break" bit actually feels a little edgy by today's standards!
I remember when they cut back from commercial one time and Dave was staring at the camera puffing a giant cigar. He jumped and went "ooo!" and put the stogie hastily in an ashtray.
Letters from Prisoners, Magic Lady? Wow. Should have given those to Dave for "Viewer Mailbag".
French Maid Outfit.... RAWWWRRR 😁👍🏻
I can't tell for sure, but I think Hal's blue shirt had not one but TWO open buttons. What a lucky lady!
She was gorgeous
Lol I wonder if "camera races" was the actual reason they passed on him for the Tonight Show.
That!
is how to end an interview.
Great stuff as always. I remember seeing that Sonic Youth performance and thinking how terrible it was, and I was a big alt-rock guy.
God she was stunning as hell
WOW❗😳
D, I have written you many times, even to your new home address. No response. My sentence has been reduced and I am eligible for early release. Please lift the restraining order. Thanks, Dave
You were gorgeous then, you are gorgeous now.
“I take stuff to my grave.”
We all know the track record of this TH-cam channel, so allow me to say R.I.P., Deirdre.
Dee dee……mega doo doo.
6:32. You’re a dead ringer for the late Brittany Murphy.

it's a shame comedy was banned from network TV
If only they would ban stupid comments, I could've saved the few seconds it took to read yours.
you must type really fast @@missoula2213
@@missoula2213 Comedy is banned from human interaction around here
Holy cow, gorgeous and sexy! And she’s funny too!
Question for Dee: In your 9 years with the show, wasn't there ANY favorite moment THAT DIDN'T INVOLVE YOU?
The Sonic Youth clip didn't involve her.
@@googleplussuxheavilyperfum5257 Yeah. Kinda weird for that dude to try to make her out to be self-absorbed.
