@@allendracabal0819 ha ha I wouldn't go that far but I was completely thrilled, yes. I actually missed it being read but someone stopped me in the hallway at school the next day and said "hey my older brother told me that David Letterman read your letter on last night's show!" Luckily that older brother taped it. I've only ever seen the segment twice since because we had to return the tape!
I've actually had my Late Night tee for over 20 years. No holes or anything, though the print faded a bit. However, I didn't wear it so so much over the years because my Dad got it for me when we went to the studio and I knew I wanted to keep it forever.
I love the fact most of the viewer mail was from Canadians!!! Watching Letterman helped me survive living in Saskatchewan after moving from BC!!! First thing I did was buy a winter coat!!! 😀
I like how Dave's blue card for Letter #5 includes a prompt for him to ask Paul about the actor-singer, and he accidentally read it for a second time at 7:27. Cute.
It is indeed. He worked on both Dave’s 1980 morning show and then Late Night until 1990. After leaving The Tonight Show as Leno’s announcer, he did a few voice-overs for Dave’s Late Show. A great guy.
"Actor /singers" should, in a perfect world, be considered "heroes" as they too rush towards danger unrecognized among other first responders. Unlike ourselves, the common cowards and filth that society has little respect for. It really chaps my a$$ that they are not given their due at every opportunity along with the others in the previous 2 decades. No disrespect intended to those already receiving praise. I simply want to acknowledge the "actor/singer" contribution which has been continually overlooked by the media when the chips are down
I gotta know if these letters are real. Many come from Canada and I know Canada loves Dave. I wish I could come up with a funny set up but this is the question I’d ask here and now…I love your interview with President Zelenskyy (I kinda have a huge crush on him). Would you interview Putin if he gave his consent? That’s the one I want to see. I want to see him answer your questions.
My letter! At the 7:30 mark! I was 15 years old when I mailed it!
You are a part of television history. I'll bet as a 15-year-old you were through the roof when you saw your letter answered on air. I would have been.

@@grantlawrence7579 Cool. Thanks for the reply.
That comedy was cutting-edge.
I see what you did there.
Someone get Paul his Oscar.
Paul’s performance: 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 😂

Sid's yellow Strat is one of my favorite guitars ever.
@Daniel Drader Looks like a DS-1 a TubeScreamer and a DM-2?
@Daniel Drader That was my first pedal ever in like 1986. I wish I still had the thing....little did I know how valuable they'd be.
That wasn't a knife fight that was a knife argument.
Oh, I'm sorry. Is this a 5-minute knife argument or the full half hour?

Very cool! Hello from Vancouver BC!
Nice to see a lot of mail from Canada. Hello from Thunder Bay, Paul Shaffer's hometown.
I remember when host Robert Stack first profiled Paul as the "Rodgers and Hammerstein Medley Murderer" on Unsolved Mysteries.
Literally profiled. All viewers saw was his darkened face and heard his electronically-altered voice.
@@dongiller OK.. do what? You mean it was a skit?
@@Heres_Johnny. ::joke::
@@dongiller Cue montage of the other Jonathan Frakes saying "It never happened."
Oh no! Not the actor-singer! Thank God for Paul’s quick action: both to revive him and to dispatch him later on.

Crocodile Dundee would approve of Dave's knife sizing skills 😁
Cutlery! That's how you know it was Good TV!
Back in the 80s, that WAS a knife fight!
Wonder if Dave ever got a chance to play Knifey/Spoony when visiting Australia?
Later on in the program, we've also got comedian Sandra Bernhard, and singer-songwriter Dave Edmunds. Stick around for this one, kids.
@7:10 they never would have done that to an actor/singer/dancer
love dave miss him
Those were big knives.
🥲 I miss Daaaaaaave.
Luv ya dave
Did Dave really call his movie date Spotty?
Comedy!
Is the other guy in the knife fight Edd Hall? Sounds like him, doesn't quite look like him.
It is indeed. He worked on both Dave’s 1980 morning show and then Late Night until 1990.
After leaving The Tonight Show as Leno’s announcer, he did a few voice-overs for Dave’s Late Show.
A great guy.
The famous actor sing episode
There were several more before this. I hear there’s a YT compilation.
@@dongiller You know…you are right… I forgot.
@@dongiller I wonder who you heard that from?????
@@allendracabal0819 I hear a lot of things.
7:59 Women in the 80s were feminine, strong and stunning.
