These Letterman Goes Door-to-Door bits were just about the funniest things I ever saw on TV, before or since---thanks for uploading! (Also, I don't know if it's on this channel, but anyone who hasn't seen Dave going door-to-door in a New Jersey neighborhood with Zsa Zsa Gabor owes it to themselves to find and watch it.)
I grew up in Northern NJ and this very well could've been filmed in Garfield, the city my Italian immigrant grandparents lived in. Great community, great people, great sense of humor.
I thought he was going to tell the old guy who was shoveling snow that the most important thing to remember is to "get your back into it" when lifting.
Exactly what happened to David Letterman? I saw his very first show, and for like, 15 years he was the most original person I'd ever seen on TV. But was it when he changed net works, that I guess he couldn't bring any of his old material with him? For his last 15 years, he was about as funny as Fred Rogers. I don't understand why, when he changed networks, he didn't just make up new bits compareable to Larry Bud Melman, Brother Theodore, throwing things off of 4-story buildings, crushing things in some type of recycling plant, Stupid Human Tricks, Stupid Pet Tricks, etc. Maybe I missed something: maybe he was on more than 2 networks. His last 15 years was just too loud, too illuminated, too corny, and too "Hollywood," even though it all took place in a New York studio. It was almost like he was pouting because Jay Leno got Johnny Carson's job and not him. It appeared that he intentionally tried to become bland in his last 15 years.
Everyone noticed that. When his show changed networks and was shifted to an earlier time slot, the bookings became identical to other shows and consisted of mostly people plugging something (show, book, etc.) The days of the guest being the joke were gone. Plus, some of the bits were considered "intellectual property" by NBC and couldn't be easily replicated. His show was still entertaining, for sure, but the tenor of the show definitely changed when he went to CBS.
He had nothing to lose at 12:30 'cause those GE Pinheads just didn't care. But when he moved to 11:30, then he had to compete against the Big Chin and I guess the expression 'watered down' applies on how his move to CBS turned out.
NBC has always been a nest of backstabbing executive reptiles, while CBS don't know funny if it hit them in the groin with a bat. (For God's sake! Do you people know what CBS has had on for Saturday nights for years now? Some Howdy-doody/Don Knotts look-a-like minister pontifcating from a pulpit.
It was hilarious when Trump was on Letterman and Dave showed him his crappy made in China ties. Trump just an ignorant joke hypocrite pile of UnAmerican garbage LOL.
David: Let's go to an Italian neighborhood. It should be fun. He is lucky he wasn't buried under one of their parking garages for asking an Italian dumb questions.
@@___David___Savian Ok, I did you a favor and read your comment for a second time (you're welcome, btw). It sounds even dumber the second time around. Would you happen to be a 13 year old boy who just saw Goodfellas for the first time?
I could watch Dave trolling people all day. I lost it when he was on the snowmobile with that guy.
Me too! And when they're all drinking Pepsi 🤣
Oh god the '93 Snow Storm. Wow.
Wow- so funny! I used to sneak downstairs to watch Dave after everyone went to bed. Thanks for posting
I miss Dave ❤😊
OMG! I have tears in my eyes from laughing! Classic Dave!
Comedy gold. He could’ve done a whole show of this.
Dave is a legend
the guy at the end!!! dave's "oh eh, what's the matter with you?" left me laughing so hard for like 10 minutes
"Take it easy!"
Don't over do it!
@@joanketelby752 Take it easy! Will you!

It could have also been Rockaway. 😊
It was little falls the last guy was my grandfather

This is so much better than Colbert and the political divisiveness. Bring back Dave.
I met Dave on Bloomfield Ave in Verona, NJ years ago. He was so gracious and even took a picture with me.

Lolol
You can really see where Conan drew inspiration for his own remotes. This felt very Conan-y 😄
1:43 "Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee"😮
80's 90's Letterman is the best. LOL
Thank you.
This was so funny.
I wish i could have pulled these pranks in Guatemala...
Thank you for putting these clips here whomever you are! :)
Dave should have brought that guy from the end onto the show for an interview.
''Ya wanna die die''
Dave: Hey what's the matter with you?
3:28..." Hey what's the matter with you? "
Genius
Funny video. With all the guns out there these days, he'd probably get shot doing something like this now.
He wouldnt get shot! People dont just shoot people for no reason
@@crakdjdj unless they are in law enforcement
Italian neighborhood
The last years of the Golde Age of late-night tv entertainment
All those non-English speakers-you'd think he was going door to door here in LA!
szqsk8 they were all italian.
I miss the days of watching these. So glad people have uploaded clips to TH-cam.
Feb26 1993 was the day The twin Towers in New York City were bombed below ground in the parking deck.
GREAT DAVID LETTERMAN DOOR TO DOOR IN NJ !!!
They just don't make television like this anymore! 🤣😂😢
Dave is so funny!
Sadly, try this today.
My uncle had a black lab he named “Blackie” too!
😆😆😆
Is that your snowmobile?
Comedy does not exist any more.
Wow. It's so cool and interesting to hear people speaking another language other than Spanish.
¿Por qué?
That old man did *not* take it easy on Dave.
The cream of the New Juhyzee crop.
I get the feeling Dave didn't have a large Italian immigrant home audience. Probably a lot more popular with the Irish.
Letterman rules
His rules don't apply to Italians CAPISH ??
I’ve been trying to find a white zombie episode when David Letterman and the band get in a pool of chocolate at the end…probably 92-93
This is why Andy Kaufman and Dave got along so well. Birds of a feather lol.
Take it easy!
This is what’s wrong with America…we need David back!
I was 1 month old damn
cool man

11:30 is a different audience. Look at Conan when he changed times.

This was before hatred for Donald John Trump made comics not funny anymore.
It's possible to hate Dumb Donald and still be funny. Hating the most embarrassing president ever to be elected, does not make one not funny.
You’re about as funny as a bucket of guts...

John Doe the most embarrassing president? Are you people serious? Trumps awesome
@@JohnDoe-ol3yz Absolutely! Thumbs up!

He is lucky he wasn't buried under one of their parking garages for asking an Italian dumb questions.
you mean he's lucky some hairy grease ball didn't sit there making a bunch of empty threats
